The "After-Hours Accessibility" Problem
Patients abandon calls during peak evening hours (6-9 PM) when staff is unavailable, leading to unfilled PT/OT slots and 20-30% revenue loss from unreached post-injury consultations
HIPAA compliance risks in handling sensitive patient data via outdated voicemail systems that lack secure transcription
Overwhelmed receptionists juggling SOAP note intake forms and scheduling, causing 15-20 minute delays in confirming therapy sessions for acute musculoskeletal injury cases
Missed follow-up opportunities for post-session check-ins, resulting in higher dropout rates among rehab patients
Inconsistent patient education on home exercise programs (HEP) via phone, leading to 40% non-compliance rates and extended recovery times in orthopedic rehab patients
Regulatory hurdles in documenting verbal consents for telehealth PT referrals under HIPAA and state licensure rules, exposing clinics to CMS audit vulnerabilities and potential fines up to $50,000 per violation

Unlock Round-the-Clock Patient Care Excellence
Never Miss a Therapy Booking Opportunity

Clinics using our system report a 35% increase in appointment capture rates within 3 months, turning evening inquiries from car accident victims into full 6-12 week rehab programs without staff burnout.

Seamless HIPAA Compliance in Every Interaction: Built with end-to-end encryption, audit-ready logging, and secure PHI transcription that integrates with EHR systems like Epic, our voice agents safeguard sensitive data during intake, follow-ups, and telehealth consents. This eliminates the compliance headaches of traditional phone trees, reducing audit risks by 50% over 12 months and giving your clinic peace of mind amid rising OCR enforcement.
Boost Patient Satisfaction and Retention
Boost Patient Satisfaction and Retention: Instant responses to questions about pain management protocols or HEP adherence keep rehab patients engaged post-discharge. One orthopedic clinic saw Net Promoter Scores rise from 72 to 89 within six months, as AI-driven reminders for mobility exercises ensured 25% better adherence to therapy plans, cutting no-shows by 18% and fostering long-term loyalty in chronic pain management.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we'd lose 10-15 calls a week after 5 PM, especially from working parents needing evening slots for their kids' ACL tears or sports injuries. Now, the AI handles intake flawlessly with questions on injury history, booking 80% of those directly into our EHR calendar. It's cut our admin time in half, and patients love the quick responses—our retention jumped 22% last quarter alone."
Dr. Sarah Kline
Director of Outpatient Physical Therapy, Metro Sports Rehab Center, Chicago
"HIPAA was always a nightmare with our old voicemail system; one wrong transcription could trigger an OCR investigation. Their custom agent transcribes and secures PHI automatically, integrating seamlessly with Cerner EHR without manual data entry. In the first month, we filled 12 extra post-surgical knee rehab slots we would've missed, and our last mock audit passed with zero findings."
Mark Rivera
Operations Manager, Apex Orthopedic Physical Therapy Clinic, Denver
"Our clinic specializes in geriatric orthopedic care, and families often call evenings with urgent questions about fall prevention or post-hip replacement mobility aids. The AI voice agent provides clear, evidence-based answers from AARP protocols and flags complex cases like balance disorders to our on-call team. We've reduced emergency drop-ins by 30% over the past year, and patients tell us it feels like having an extra clinician on duty 24/7."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How do your AI voice agents ensure HIPAA compliance for physical therapy clinics?
Compliance is at our core. We encrypt all voice data end-to-end and store it only in HIPAA-approved environments like AWS with BAA. Agents log interactions with timestamps and access controls, flagging sensitive details like injury histories for secure review. Unlike generic tools, our custom builds avoid third-party risks by integrating directly with your EHR—no data leaves your ecosystem. We've navigated audits for clients, ensuring PHI handling meets or exceeds standards, so your clinic avoids fines while providing seamless care.
Can the AI handle complex patient inquiries about therapy plans?
Absolutely. Our agents are trained on your specific protocols, from post-op rehab to chronic pain management. They provide scripted responses for common questions, like home exercise demos or insurance queries, while recognizing when to escalate—like for severe mobility issues. In one deployment, a clinic handled 65% of such calls autonomously, freeing therapists for hands-on work. We fine-tune with your input, ensuring responses align with evidence-based practices and patient safety guidelines.
What if a patient needs to speak with a human therapist immediately?
Smart escalation is built-in. The AI detects urgency through keywords like 'acute pain' or 'fall risk,' then offers seamless transfer to your on-call line with full context—recent call history, qualified details, even suggested questions. This maintains that personal touch vital in therapy. Clinics report 90% satisfaction in handoffs, reducing frustration and ensuring no critical case slips through, all while keeping your after-hours coverage efficient.
How quickly can we implement this for our clinic?
From consultation to launch, most clinics are live in 4-6 weeks. We start with a workflow audit, build the custom agent, test integrations, and train it on your data. For a mid-sized practice, integration with tools like WebPT takes just days. Post-launch, we monitor for refinements. This phased approach minimizes disruption, so you start capturing after-hours bookings without halting operations—faster than piecing together off-the-shelf solutions.
Will this integrate with our existing phone and scheduling systems?
Yes, we specialize in deep, two-way integrations. Whether you're on Twilio for calls or Jane App for scheduling, our engineers create secure APIs that pull real-time data—like open slots or patient records—into conversations. No more manual updates; a booked session flows straight to your calendar. We've connected with over 20 healthcare platforms, ensuring your AI agent acts as an extension of your workflow, not a separate silo.
How does this help with patient retention in physical therapy?
Retention thrives on consistent follow-through. Our agents send automated voice or SMS reminders for sessions and progress check-ins, like 'How's your knee flexion today?' This proactive engagement boosts adherence by 28% in our client data, reducing dropouts. For therapy clinics, where long-term compliance drives outcomes, this means fewer no-shows and stronger patient relationships, ultimately improving recovery rates and your clinic's reputation.
