The Orthopedic Referral

A patient walked out of an orthopedic appointment with a prescription for physical therapy and your practice’s name written on a referral slip. She called immediately from the parking lot at 5:15 PM. Voicemail. She was frustrated — her shoulder was in pain and she needed this booked. She called the second practice on the referral slip. They answered, booked her for a Tuesday evaluation, and she completed a 20-session course of treatment. $2,400 your practice never saw.

The referral had your name on it. The only thing standing between you and $2,400 was a voicemail.

The Corporate Wellness Account

A major employer’s occupational health coordinator was sourcing a PT practice for employee work injury rehab referrals — about 25 cases per year. She called your practice on a Friday afternoon. Voicemail. Called the next PT practice on her list — who answered, scheduled a meeting, and won the exclusive referral relationship. At $1,440 per case × 25 cases per year = $36,000 annually. Lost to a Friday voicemail.

A $36,000/year corporate referral relationship. Gone because Friday afternoon voicemail was the answer.

The Post-Surgery Call

A 58-year-old patient had knee replacement surgery Monday morning. By Wednesday afternoon, her surgeon’s office called to confirm she’d scheduled PT. She hadn’t. She called your practice at 4:55 PM — five minutes before you close. Voicemail. She called the next practice, who answered at 4:57 PM and got her scheduled for Monday. She completed 22 sessions. $3,200. Because you were 5 minutes from closing when she called.

5 minutes before closing, a $3,200 post-surgical patient called. You’d already mentally clocked out.
