The Problem

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.

Lost clinical cohesion, poor outcomes, lost revenue

New-member screening eats clinician time

Each new group member needs screening for fit — diagnosis, modality match, group cohesion. Solo clinicians end up doing it themselves between sessions.

Clinician burnout, slower group formation

Insurance for group therapy varies wildly

Group therapy is billed under CPT 90853 — but coverage varies by plan, by group type, and by indication. Verification mistakes lead to denials.

Billing denials, surprise bills, member churn

Recurring weekly reminders to a roster are tedious

A 10-member group needs 10 reminders, 10 confirmations, and 10 follow-ups every week. Front desk drowns in coordination.

Wasted admin time, missed reminders, low attendance
