New Patient Intake & Chart Prep for Therapy Practice Managers with Alma
Run new patient intake & chart prep on autopilot inside Alma.
The Problem
New Mental Health patients arrive with incomplete forms, missing records from referring providers, and outdated insurance — the MA spends the first 20 minutes of the visit doing data entry.
What We Build in Alma
AI sends the intake packet via SimplePractice, ingests responses, requests records from prior providers via HIE/fax, verifies insurance, and pre-populates the chart — patient arrives and the provider is ready. Purpose-built for teams running Alma — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Human-in-the-loop handoff
