Product tour

See the portal our clients use.

Every client gets their own portal while we open their practice. These are real screens, with a made-up practice. Click the highlighted spot to go on, or use Next, the arrow keys or a swipe.

The client portal

What a made-up client sees while we open their practice: the dated roadmap, their to-dos, documents, insurance applications and invoices. 8 steps.

  1. Step 1 of 8

    A dated roadmap from day one

    The client sees their opening date, how many steps are done, and their to-dos, each with a date, who does it and what they'll need.

    Open the full-size screen
  2. Step 2 of 8

    They mark their own steps done

    With a note, if they like. We see it right away, and the roadmap moves on.

    Open the full-size screen
  3. The insurance credentialing phase opened: each step with its date and owner

    Step 3 of 8

    Every phase, every step

    From forming the business to the first 90 days. Each step has its date and who does it: the client, us, or both together.

    Open the full-size screen
  4. Step 4 of 8

    One place to talk

    Questions and answers stay with the project, instead of in a long email thread.

    Open the full-size screen
  5. Step 5 of 8

    Send documents straight in

    Licenses, the malpractice page, the W-9, the lease: picked by kind and filed where the applications need them.

    Open the full-size screen
  6. Step 6 of 8

    Filed where it's needed

    The lease is in their file, ready for the CAQH profile and the insurance applications.

    Open the full-size screen
  7. The portal's Insurance tab: each plan's application status for the made-up clinician

    Step 7 of 8

    Where each insurance plan stands

    Every application, for every clinician: gathering documents, submitted, in review, approved, and the in-network date.

    Open the full-size screen
  8. The portal's Invoices tab with a paid invoice

    Step 8 of 8

    Flat-fee invoices

    Each invoice with its due date and what's owed, paid by card as the work lands.

    Open the full-size screen
