Caesar Health for
Orthopedics
AI agents built for the surgical volume and physical therapy coordination of orthopedic practices.
Why Orthopedics Practices Are Struggling
Pre-op evaluations, operative reports, post-op visits, and physical therapy referrals create an enormous documentation chain per patient.
Orthopedics has significant third-party payer complexity with workers’ compensation, auto insurance, and personal injury cases requiring separate billing processes.
Managing referrals to PT, tracking progress, and adjusting treatment plans based on therapy outcomes is fragmented.
MRIs, CT scans, and surgical procedures frequently require prior authorization, creating bottlenecks in patient care.
Never Miss a Patient Call Again
Echo — your 24/7 AI phone agent
Echo handles post-surgical follow-up calls, PT coordination, and acute injury triage for orthopedic practices.
- Handles post-surgical follow-up calls: wound care questions, pain management, activity restrictions
- Manages PT referral inquiries and helps patients find in-network providers
- Triages acute injury calls with appropriate urgency screening
- Coordinates workers’ comp appointment scheduling with required employer notifications
Example Scenario
Echo in action
“A patient 3 days post-ACL surgery calls about increased swelling. Echo asks specific post-surgical screening questions, determines the symptoms are within normal range, provides reassurance and ice/elevation instructions, and notes the call in the patient’s chart for provider review.”
Example Scenario
Apollo in action
“During a post-injury evaluation, Apollo generates a detailed orthopedic exam note with range of motion measurements, strength grading, special tests (Lachman, McMurray), imaging review, and treatment plan including PT referral details.”
