How can an AI receptionist help a physio clinic?
+
Miya answers patient calls while your physios treat, books initial assessments and follow-ups with the right clinician and length, records whether each patient is private, health fund, care plan, workers compensation or CTP, and answers fee and referral questions from your notes. Reception stays free for patients in the clinic.
Will it assess a patient's injury?
+
No. Miya never assesses injuries, suggests exercises or estimates recovery time. She records why the patient is calling and books an appointment. Anyone describing a head injury with confusion, chest pain or another emergency is told to call 000. The physio then reviews the injury properly at the appointment.
Can it handle workers compensation and CTP patients?
+
Yes. Miya records the claim number, insurer and case manager details the patient gives, and books the initial assessment. Your team then confirms approvals before the appointment, using its usual process. Miya never confirms whether a claim has been accepted; that stays with the insurer and your team.
Does it answer referral and rebate questions?
+
From your notes only. Miya can explain that private patients do not need a referral and when a GP care plan referral is required, and how on-the-spot health fund claiming works. She does not calculate a patient's rebate or check eligibility.
Does it connect to physio practice software?
+
Not yet. Appointments are placed in Google Calendar or Calendly, which some clinics use directly, and RingOut writes up every call with the patient, funding type and reason for visit, ready to enter into your practice system. Reception can enter them between patients or at the end of the day.
How much does an AI receptionist for physiotherapy clinics cost?
+
A solo physio can begin on Starter, $49 monthly for an hour of calls. Most clinics run Growth, which is $149 monthly and covers 250 minutes with every call recorded, and busy multi-physio practices often use Professional at $399. GST is added, and setup is free.
