Practice Intel Helps Coastal Hand Run a Healthy OT Practice

"If I could clone myself and be in all places at once, that would be great," says Jeff Arnold of Coastal Hand. He is Co-owner and an OT at the 3-clinic, therapist-owned practice in California that prides itself on specialized, hands-on treatment.
Coastal Hand uses Practice Intel AI insights to gain visibility to practice metrics they previously tracked manually, like payer information and ICD-10 codes. They also use the AI-powered platform to monitor how their therapists are handling the documentation and compliance demands of occupational therapy private practice.
"It allows us to see which providers are having a harder time keeping up. And as a leader, it gives us an opportunity to address that and help alleviate some of that burden," Jeff says.
Jeff says they use the metrics in Practice Intel to plan caseloads, ensure they can provide the care their patients need, and ensure the business stays productive. Jeff acknowledges that it's not fun for clinicians to focus on the business's finances, but "if we're not paying attention to that, then people don't have jobs, and then people don't get taken care of."
