Chat Capabilities for Physical Therapists

Evaluation & Session Booking

Patients book initial evaluations, follow-up sessions, and specialty treatments by describing their condition — knee rehab, post-surgical recovery, sports injury — and the AI matches them with the right therapist.

Insurance & Referral Guidance

Answers questions about accepted insurance, whether a physician referral is required, copay estimates, and authorized visit counts so patients can plan their care.

Referral Patient Capture

Patients with a doctor's referral message your clinic and the AI collects referral details, injury information, and preferred schedule — converting referrals to booked evaluations quickly.

Home Exercise Program Support

Between sessions, patients message about exercise form, pain during home exercises, or forgotten instructions. The AI provides guidance and reminders to keep recovery on track.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI handle physician referral intake?

Yes. When a referred patient reaches out, the AI collects referring physician info, diagnosis codes, authorized visit counts, and the patient's preferred schedule — creating a complete referral file for your team.

Does the chat explain what to expect at an initial evaluation?

It does. New patients receive a clear explanation of the evaluation process, what to wear, documents to bring, and estimated session length — reducing anxiety and no-shows.

Can patients request schedule changes for recurring sessions via chat?

Absolutely. Patients on a 3x/week schedule can shift individual sessions, request a different time slot, or adjust their recurring schedule through a simple chat conversation.
