Business ChallengeFor 9 years McGovern Physical Therapy used Windows based software for all of their documentation needs. While the software was useful and reliable, the process was too slow to be practical. Frustrated with the time wasted on documentation and IT headaches, Kevin McGovern found that a web-based EMR would solve the company’s problems.
SolutionKevin McGovern, owner of McGovern Physical Therapy, discovered WebPT and as he puts it, “I found WebPT, made the switch immediately and have not looked back.” Its simple user interface enabled his PTs to quickly enter information from any computer without having to install special software.
Kevin switched to an online product and quickly found that he had chosen the wrong company. While their service was paperless and online, the cumbersome nature of the documentation led to even more time wasted and frustration from his team.

Time Saved on Documentation
I would think we save at least �ve to ten minutes per patient. So if we save �ve minutes per patient, multiplied by 700 visits each week, divided by 60 minutes per 11 therapists, it saves each therapist over an hour a day.
Time and Cost Savings for McGovern
Increased in Front Of�ce Productivity
We have a better handle on visit authorizations and the ability to fax information straight from WebPT is valuable. It also stores all documentation onto the database eliminating a paper trail or hard chart.
Payment Cycle/Claims Improvements
Our ability to get documentation out the door to insurance companies has sped up for improved cash �ow.
Coding for Insurance Claims The bells and whistles of the built in Medicare compliance benchmarks in WebPT has made a complicated process of billing Medicare, very simple.
Bene�tsSince joining WebPT, Kevin noticed an increase in ef�ciency as his PTs were now able to spend less time on documentation and more time with their patients. The clinic’s ability to complete documentation and send off to insurance companies had also sped up substantially.
The front of�ce also saw improvements in handling visit authorizations as well as using the faxing and emailing features allowing them to send faxes right from WebPT’s online interface.
