FIELD GUIDE

How Kai Handles Calls for Physical Therapy

Kai is trained around the actual calls that reach physical therapy teams: urgency, qualification, routing, booking, and follow-up.

Referral Intake

Kai Captures the Whole Referral While Therapists Treat

01

A live referral is your best lead. Kai gets every detail so the front desk can verify and schedule fast.

Kai captures the referring physician, the body part or condition, and whether the prescription is in hand.

It collects the insurance for your verification handoff and confirms the best callback number and email.

Scheduling

Kai Books the Initial Eval and Works the Waitlist

02

A packed eval schedule and a cancelled slot should not be treated the same. Kai handles both.

Kai books the initial evaluation on the right calendar and confirms it by text and email.

On a cancellation, it frees the slot and reaches your waitlist so the opening gets filled.

New referral

Referring physician, condition, prescription status, insurance, and contact captured in full.

Cancelled slot

Waitlist outreach to fill the open eval before it becomes lost revenue.

Front-Desk Handoff

Kai Sends Ready-to-Schedule Intakes Into Your Workflow

03

The goal is not a longer transcript. The goal is a verification-ready referral your desk can schedule.

Kai can pass details to WebPT, Jane App, Prompt EMR, Google Calendar, GoHighLevel, Zapier, or custom workflows.

Each intake includes referring physician, condition, prescription status, insurance, and contact — and any clinical question goes straight to a therapist.

FRONT DESK CALL MAP // PHYSICAL THERAPY

Every call your front desk takes

PT clinics run on physician referrals, and patients book the first clinic that calls back. Here is every call your front desk takes — and the ones Kai answers and captures while your therapists are in treatment.

Kai, from the first call
Your team (Kai takes the first touch)
6 of 8 calls covered from minute one

Answer & qualify the call

Answer the referral and capture the condition

Greets with your clinic name, captures the referring physician, the body part or condition being treated, and whether the prescription is in hand.

Capture the details into the record

Collect insurance and contact for verification

Insurance details for your verification handoff plus the best callback number and email — logged to your EHR within minutes so the front desk can verify fast.

Book the appointment

Book the initial evaluation

Offers open eval windows on the right therapist’s calendar and confirms by text and email.

Triage & route

Route clinical questions to a therapist

Kai never gives clinical advice — it stops the intake and routes any injury or treatment question straight to a licensed therapist.

Outbound follow-up

Call back the after-hours referrals

Reaches patients with a fresh script who came in overnight before they schedule at the next clinic.

Cancellations & gap-fill

Catch the cancellation and work the waitlist

Frees the cancelled slot and reaches patients who wanted an earlier appointment so the eval schedule stays full.

Money & resolution

Insurance or billing disputeStays with your team

Resolving a benefits or balance dispute stays a front-desk conversation.

Kai captures the issue and routes it to your billing staff for callback.

Clinical or plan-of-care questionStays with your team

Discussing the injury, exercises, or the plan of care is a licensed-therapist job.

Kai documents the question without advising and flags it to a therapist immediately.

Kai owns the front-office call — answer, qualify, capture, book, remind, and the first-touch follow-up. The judgment calls — negotiating money, resolving a complaint — stay with your team, and Kai still answers, documents, and hands them straight to you.

Kai is built for the messy, high-intent moments where speed, context, and calm follow-through decide who gets the job.

The Desk Misses Calls While Therapists Treat

What breaks

Your therapists are hands-on with patients all day, so the front desk goes unstaffed. A new physician referral calls, hits voicemail, and books at the clinic that picked up first.

What Kai does

Kai answers every call instantly, captures the referring physician, body part or condition, and whether the prescription is in hand, and books the initial eval while your team stays focused on care

A Delayed Referral Callback Loses the Patient

What breaks

Patients with a fresh script call several clinics and schedule with the first one that responds. Between evals and treatment, you cannot hit that window on every referral.

What Kai does

Kai logs each referral within minutes, collects the insurance for your verification handoff, and gets the initial eval on the calendar before the patient calls the next clinic

No-Shows Blow Holes in a Packed Schedule

What breaks

A late cancellation leaves a gap your therapists cannot refill on the fly, and an empty eval slot is revenue that does not come back.

What Kai does

Kai catches the cancellation, frees the slot, and works your waitlist — reaching patients who wanted an earlier appointment so the opening gets filled

FAQs

Common questions

01What does Kai capture on a physician referral call?

Kai captures the referring physician, the body part or condition being treated, and whether the patient has the prescription or script in hand. It collects the insurance details for your verification handoff and confirms the best callback number and email. Your front desk gets a complete, ready-to-schedule referral instead of a half-finished voicemail.

02Can Kai answer while my therapists are with patients?

Yes — that is the whole point. When your therapists are in treatment and a referral calls, the desk usually misses it and the patient books at the clinic that called back first. Kai answers every call instantly, captures the full referral, and books the initial eval while your team stays focused on care. You review the booking-ready intake during the next gap.

03Does Kai give clinical advice or diagnose?

Never. Kai does not assess injuries, recommend exercises, or give clinical guidance of any kind. It books and routes — capturing the referral, getting the insurance for verification, scheduling the initial eval, and handing any clinical question straight to a licensed therapist. The plan of care always stays a human conversation.

04Which EHR and scheduling tools does Kai integrate with?

Kai passes intakes into WebPT, Jane App, Prompt EMR, Google Calendar, GoHighLevel, and Zapier (5,000+ apps), and supports custom integrations for your existing EHR — typically built within 48 hours. Each intake includes the referring physician, condition, prescription status, insurance, and contact so your front desk can verify and schedule fast.

05How much does a missed referral cost my clinic?

A single PT plan of care is worth $1,500–$3,000 across the full course of visits, and patients book at the first clinic that calls them back. A delayed referral callback means the patient schedules elsewhere. Kai answers every call for a flat monthly price — one captured plan of care covers the cost for a very long time.

06How does Kai handle cancellations and no-shows?

A late cancellation blows a hole in a packed eval schedule. Kai catches the cancellation, frees the slot, and works your waitlist — reaching out to patients who wanted an earlier appointment so the opening gets filled. Your therapists keep a full schedule instead of staring at a gap.
