The waitlist is a spreadsheet, not a system
Most practices track waitlists in Excel, a SimplePractice list, or a TherapyNotes note. Nobody actively reaches out when slots open. The list rots.
Frontdesk runs an autonomous waitlist engine — outbound AI voice + HIPAA-compliant SMS — that matches open slots to the right waitlist client in seconds. Funding-source aware, modality-aware, clinician-aware. Works natively with SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, CentralReach, TheraNest, and Fusion Web Clinic.

The Problem
Most practices track waitlists in Excel, a SimplePractice list, or a TherapyNotes note. Nobody actively reaches out when slots open. The list rots.
A clinician’s 3pm cancellation only converts if someone reaches out in the next 30 minutes. Manual outreach can’t move that fast — and the slot empties out.
A Medicaid waiver client can’t fill a commercial PPO slot. A pediatric SLP slot doesn’t match an adult mental-health waitlist. Manual matching is slow and error-prone.
Without data on offer rate, fill rate, decline reason, and time-to-fill, practices can’t see whether the waitlist is growing because of demand or because nobody’s working it.
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.

Captured
Frontdesk fires outbound AI voice + HIPAA-compliant SMS to the top-matched waitlist clients within 5 minutes. First to confirm gets the slot, the appointment books, and the waitlist updates.
More capabilities
Frontdesk only offers slots that match the waitlist client’s funding source (Medicaid waiver, commercial PPO, EAP, self-pay), preferred clinician, and modality (telehealth vs in-person).
Frontdesk maintains a live waitlist record inside SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Jane App, CentralReach, TheraNest, and Fusion Web Clinic — adds, removes, prioritizes, and pauses clients automatically.
Practices see waitlist size, average time-to-fill, offer acceptance rate, decline reasons, revenue recovered, and payor-mix health — broken down by clinician, modality, and location.
Every outreach respects TCPA, quiet hours, channel preference, and HIPAA — with BAA, encrypted PHI, and full audit logs.
