Orthopedics

Your next surgical case
is in the fax pile.

Medsender sorts incoming referrals and radiology reports and brings back implant patients who never got the next visit on the books. Your team spends less time on faxes and phone calls, and each patient hears from you while the referral is still fresh.

The problem

So much of the day is still manual and time consuming.

Documents

Sorting and filing by hand

Referrals, reports, and records requests get read, labeled, and filed one at a time.

Scheduling

Calling every referral to book

Each new patient waits on an outbound call, and the call list keeps growing.

Lost patients

Patients fall off the schedule

Implant patients due back next year leave without a visit on the books, and no one has time to go find them.

All of it lands on the same team. Growth means another admin hire.

With Medsender

The referral arrives. We automatically contact
them before they leave their doctor’s parking lot.

Medsender runs the sorting, outreach, and scheduling on its own. Your staff handles only the exceptions.

Customer stories

Orthopedic groups already run on Medsender.

Real customers, in their own words. Specialty Orthopedic Group and Prosthetics & Orthotics Group are among them.

“Auto-attaching and auto-tasking in ModMed EMA has been the biggest benefit. I used to have to do that manually for every chart.”

Jackie Gardner
Office Manager, Specialty Orthopedic Group
“All said, we save at least thirty minutes of working time, per person, per day, and we have between three and five employees per office. One of our offices gets bombarded daily with faxes from the hospitals they work with. That is a lot of pages we don’t have to print or process manually.”

And the referring provider can see it happened via the provider portal.

Referral provider portal

Referring offices call less. And refer more.

The provider portal gives referring practices a live, shared view of each referral they send. It is a convenience for the doctors who refer to you, and it cuts the manual work of status calls and fax follow-up for your admin team.

  • Exchange messages with your office about any referral
  • Upload referral documents, and view or download what you share
  • See who uploaded each document, and when

The business case

What a missed referral
actually costs.

A referral that never books is not one lost appointment. It is a new patient, and if that patient needs injections, imaging, or surgery, the whole episode of care goes to another practice.

$2,000
One missed referral
New patient visit $250
Follow-ups and injections $750
Imaging and bracing $1,000

FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Medsender for orthopedic practices

Do I have to replace my staff?
No. Medsender takes on the manual repetitive work: finding referrals in the fax pile, entering patient info, and chasing patients by phone. Your team keeps the judgment calls. Most practices take on more volume with the team they already have instead of hiring more.
How does the cost compare to a basic fax service?
It depends on the practice. In some cases Medsender costs less than the separate services being replaced, and in others Medsender costs more than a bare fax line. The fax line is rarely the real cost. The staff hours around it and the referrals that slip through are, and that is where the numbers on this page come from. The demo walks through that math for your practice, so you can see it before you decide.
What do patients receive?
It depends on the product. For referrals, patients get a text from your practice with a link to schedule, and an email follows if there is no reply. Recapture also sends emails. In every case, outreach is spaced out so patients are never bombarded.
What if a patient calls the office instead?
Your staff books the appointment as usual. Once the patient is scheduled, outreach stops.
Do referring offices have to use the portal?
No. The portal is there when a referring office wants status without calling you.
Does Medsender replace our fax numbers or EHR?
No. Medsender works with the fax numbers and EHR you already have. If your EHR supports chart creation and write-back, your team pushes a document to the chart in one click and Medsender handles the rest.
Does implementation cost extra or disrupt the practice?
No. Implementation is included at no extra charge and is guided by the Medsender team from day one. Your fax numbers and EHR stay in place, and your staff keeps working the way they do today until they switch over.
Does Medsender work with orthopedic EHRs?
Yes. Medsender connects to the EHRs orthopedic practices actually use, including ModMed. If your EHR supports chart creation and write-back, your team pushes a document to the chart in one click and Medsender handles the rest. See the full list on our integrations page.
Is patient information secure?
Yes. Medsender is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified, with a signed BAA included with every account at no additional cost. Patient data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted on US-based servers, and every automated action is logged and visible to your team.
