Group attendance is unpredictable
Group therapy lives on consistent attendance — a 12-week DBT skills group with 3 missing members loses clinical cohesion. Most practices have no automated attendance tracking or dropout recovery.
Frontdesk runs the entire group therapy coordination workflow — capturing RSVPs across voice, SMS, and email, screening new group members, verifying insurance, managing waitlists for full groups, and pushing rosters into SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, TheraNest, Jane App, CentralReach, and Fusion Web Clinic.

The Problem
Group therapy lives on consistent attendance — a 12-week DBT skills group with 3 missing members loses clinical cohesion. Most practices have no automated attendance tracking or dropout recovery.
Each new group member needs screening for fit — diagnosis, modality match, group cohesion. Solo clinicians end up doing it themselves between sessions.
Group therapy is billed under CPT 90853 — but coverage varies by plan, by group type, and by indication. Verification mistakes lead to denials.
A 10-member group needs 10 reminders, 10 confirmations, and 10 follow-ups every week. Front desk drowns in coordination.
How Frontdesk Works
