The Problem

Parents wait 6+ months for an evaluation slot

Pediatric SLP demand far exceeds supply. Parents call every clinic in town, take the first slot, and forget the others — leaving waitlists bloated with phantom requests.

Real urgent kids wait, evaluation revenue is lost, referral relationships strain

Front desk cant catch every pediatric call

Parents call during their lunch break, between drop-offs, after work — exactly when SLPs are in sessions and front desk is overwhelmed. Voicemail kills conversion.

Lost intake, parent frustration, lower Google reviews

Insurance and EI eligibility is opaque to parents

Parents dont know if they have Medicaid EPSDT coverage, Early Intervention Part C funding, or commercial benefits. Manual verification through Availity and Office Ally delays intake.

Slower intake, surprise bills, parents abandon the process

Bilingual families are underserved

Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Korean-speaking parents call pediatric SLP clinics and get routed to voicemail or asked to call back when bilingual staff are present.

Equity gap, lost Medicaid panel volume, lower diverse-family conversion

How Frontdesk Works

Built for therapy practices and clinics on SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, CentralReach, TheraNest, Fusion Web Clinic — and every other major EHR. HIPAA-compliant by design with BAA, encrypted PHI, and audit logs.
