How to Expand your Practice with Custom Bracing.

As a therapist, you know many patients with knee and lumbar instability would benefit from bracing. But off-the-shelf options don't always fit right and patients do not want to pay full price out of pocket. Dealing with insurance companies is also difficult.

PeteDME is the answer to all those challenges. Now you can recommend braces specifically made for your patients, while we take care of all the confusing, time-consuming, and non-billable logistics. Plus, you get guidance and support from PeteDME's PTs.

How to Get Started with PeteDME Custom Bracing

1. Book a Demo & Do the Paperwork

Start with a short, one-on-one conversation with a fellow PT, who is an MSK Clinical Onboarding Specialist. They will walk you through the process and answer any of your questions. Next, the team will start the quick and easy contracting process.

2. Get Your Welcome Kit

You will receive a welcome kit with intake forms, patient-facing brochures, and guides on how to talk to patients about bracing. You also get access to PeteDME's learning platform with tutorials that are quick and built for busy therapists.

3. Screen Patients & Document

Screen current patients with PeteDME's screening tool in less than 1.5 minutes. The tool also helps you explain the bracing program to patients and has a built-in patient education video. For patients who qualify, document the objective instability tests, answer a short questionnaire, and then PeteDME's software auto-generates the SOAP note for your signature before it's sent to the referring physician.

4. Let PeteDME Handle the Back End

From there, PeteDME manages the patient consent, face-to-face physician visit, and the brace delivery. No need for you to spend time on non-billable activities.

5. Fit, Educate, & Get Paid

The brace will be delivered to you for you to provide to the patient. This allows you to ensure a proper fit, practice donning and doffing with the patient, determine wear schedules, and educate the patient on precautions. You get paid after the brace is delivered to the patient.
