The AI Sales Assistant Built for Physical Therapy Practices
Physical therapy practices operate on referrals, and referrals go cold fast. A patient gets a script from their orthopedist and has three PT clinics to choose from. Whoever calls first — and makes the best impression — gets the patient. After that, keeping patients engaged through their full plan of care, and offering maintenance or wellness programs to discharged patients, is where practices build long-term revenue.
Ozzie handles both sides: fast outbound calls to new referrals who haven't scheduled yet, and systematic follow-up to patients who dropped off before completing their plan of care. Your front desk spends less time chasing leads and more time managing the patients who are already through the door.
The sales challenges specific to Physical Therapy Practices
Referrals going cold before they schedule
A patient with a PT script waits 1–2 days to hear from you and books your competitor instead. Ozzie calls every new referral within the hour.
Plan-of-care dropouts leaving money and outcomes behind
Patients stop coming after they feel better — not after they're truly better. Ozzie follows up and explains why finishing the plan matters.
No-show evaluations that don't get rebooked
A no-showed eval doesn't just lose today's revenue — it loses the whole course of care. Ozzie calls no-shows same-day and re-schedules.
Discharged patients who need maintenance care
Post-discharge wellness and performance programs are high-margin and patient-friendly. Ozzie re-engages discharged patients with a relevant offer at the right time.

Kevin P. — ActiveEdge Physical Therapy, Denver, CO
Challenge: Kevin was losing roughly 25% of physician referrals to competitors because of a 24–48 hour callback delay. Front desk staff were stretched across scheduling, billing calls, and prior auth follow-ups.
Approach: Ozzie was given the referral list and called each new referral within 60 minutes. It explained what to expect at the eval, answered insurance questions, and booked the first appointment on the spot.
Questions from Physical Therapy Practices
Can Ozzie call physician referrals on the same day they're received?
Yes. Connect Ozzie to your referral workflow (EMR export, fax-to-email, or manual list) and it calls every new referral within the hour, 7 days a week.
What does Ozzie say about insurance coverage?
You provide general coverage guidance for your main payer mix. Ozzie explains general benefits and lets patients know your front desk will confirm exact copays before their eval.
Can it handle workers' comp or auto-accident cases differently?
Yes. Ozzie can be briefed on your WC and auto intake process and handle those leads with the appropriate language and pacing.
What if a patient calls about pain or an acute injury?
Ozzie takes their information and fast-tracks them to the earliest available slot, or escalates to a human if they describe an emergency. It never delays urgent care.
How does Ozzie handle patients who dropped out partway through care?
Ozzie calls them with empathy — acknowledging that life gets in the way — and explains why completing the plan leads to better long-term outcomes. It offers scheduling flexibility and never makes them feel guilty.
