SaRA Health

For PT, OT, orthopedic and pain practices

Stay with your patients between visits. Get paid for that care.

SaRA texts your patients between appointments, shows your clinicians who needs attention, and documents the care as remote therapeutic monitoring that our billing team bills for you.

Tuesday, 6:02 PM

Care team: Hi Dana, it's Lakeside Physical Therapy. On a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain you can imagine, how is your knee today?

Dana: About a 3. Stairs are easier.

Care team: Thanks, Dana. Did you get to your home exercises today?

Dana: Did the band work, skipped the step-ups. They hurt.

Care team: Thanks for telling us. We've shared this with your therapist. If your pain gets worse, call the clinic.

What your therapist sees

Dana R. · knee
Pain 3/10, improving on stairs. Skipped step-ups because of pain.

  • 65%average patient engagement rate across SaRA patients
  • 78%of 12,000+ patients over four years reported better home exercise adherence
  • +26.4points of change beyond what FOTO expected, vs +14.9 without SaRA

Adherence: 12,000+ patients over four years, self-reported, submitted to CMS. Outcomes: FOTO study with one partner practice.

The gap

Five visits. Eight weeks. Fifty-two days at home.

Between visits, your clinicians can't see how patients are doing until the next appointment. SaRA turns those days into check-ins your team can see.

How it works

From the right patient to a paid claim, with nothing for patients to download.

01 · IDENTIFY

Find patients who may qualify

SaRA lists patients in your EMR who may be a fit for remote therapeutic monitoring. Your clinicians decide who enrolls, and enrollment takes seconds.

02 · ENGAGE

Check in between visits

Patients get personalized text check-ins based on their injury and plan of care. Nothing to download: SaRA runs on the phone they already have.

03 · BILL

Get paid for the care

Check-ins support the monitoring codes. Clinician time, including a live conversation with the patient each month, supports treatment management. Our billing team submits the claims and works denials.

Billing, done for you

We take on the hardest part of RTM.

RTM only pays off when the claims get paid. SaRA's billing team prepares, submits and follows up on your RTM claims, so the revenue arrives without a new workflow for your front desk.

  • Claims built from the check-ins, clinician time and monthly conversations SaRA records
  • Denials worked and appealed by people who do RTM every day
  • Our customers have been reimbursed by Medicare and commercial payers including UnitedHealthcare, BCBS and Aetna
