Scheduling software for physical therapy owners

Physical therapy scheduling software

An authorization covers a set number of visits inside a window, which makes your schedule and your paperwork the same problem. Smarfle books the whole episode at once and keeps the remaining count in front of the desk, so a course finishes before the approval expires.

Why generic scheduling software fails physical therapy owners

Generic scheduling tools weren’t built for physical therapy. Smarfle was.

Generic scheduling software

What everyone else gives you

  • Visits are booked a few at a time
  • The approval expires with sessions still owed
  • The remaining count lives in the paperwork
  • A referral is offered a time tomorrow

Built for your actual workflow

  • The whole authorized episode is placed at once
  • The course is scheduled to finish inside the window
  • It is a field in front of whoever is booking
  • Every clinician's availability answers the call today
Step-by-step

How physical therapy scheduling works in Smarfle

From the first touch to the closed loop. No missing pieces.

  1. 1

    At intake, the limit is recorded

    How many visits are approved and by when goes on the record, because everything about the schedule has to fit inside that.

  2. 2

    The same day

    The whole episode is placed at once, so the course finishes before the authorization does rather than a fortnight after.

  3. 3

    When a new referral phones

    Every clinician's week reads together, so they are offered a real time on the first call instead of being called back.

  4. 4

    Throughout the episode

    Reminders keep it moving, because a course that stalls halfway needs a new referral and usually never restarts.

  5. 5

    At every appointment

    How many visits remain is in front of whoever is at the desk, so the last one is not a surprise to anybody.

Where physical therapy scheduling breaks down

The friction every physical therapy owner recognizes.

✕

The authorization expires before the course ends

Appointments are made in twos and threes, so the window closes with treatment still outstanding and the patient has to go back to their physician.

✕

Nobody at the desk knows how many are left

How many sessions are left is buried in the authorization letter, not on the screen the front desk is already looking at.

✕

A referral waits for a callback

A new patient rings, nobody can see the clinicians' combined availability, and they are offered a time tomorrow instead of now.

The math for physical therapy owners

Authorizations expire on a date

Three hundred episodes of care at twelve approved visits each is thirty-six hundred appointments, and every one of them expires. Booked a few at a time, the last two or three routinely fall outside the window that paid for them.
