Referral Automation for Speech Therapists

Let your AI agent handle referral paperwork, status updates, and client communications—so you can focus on therapy, not admin. Free up hours every week.

You’re stuck copying notes between Google Docs, searching for provider contacts in Outlook, and updating referral spreadsheets in Excel. As an SLP, you lose hours to admin instead of client sessions. Missed follow-ups and scattered info create stress and risk for you and your clients.

An AI agent that drafts, tracks, and organizes client referrals and consultation notes for speech-language pathologists, reducing manual admin work.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In healthcare, speech-language pathologists spend 1.5–2 hours each week managing referrals, updating client records in SimplePractice, and emailing progress notes to schools or families. Manual tracking in Excel and searching for providers via Google or outdated directories leads to errors and delays. This repetitive admin work distracts from direct client care.

Time wasted

1.5-2 hours/week

Every week, burned on work an AI agent handles in minutes.

Money lost

$5,000-$6,500/year

In salary, missed revenue, and operational drag — annually.

If you keep ignoring it

Ignoring referral admin means missed follow-ups, lost documentation, and frustrated families. Over time, this can result in delayed therapy, compliance issues with Medicaid or insurance, and increased burnout for SLPs.
