Configure these example jobs with limited permissions and staff approval. Test limits and check drafts. Someone opens AI and reconstructs the case. Which referral is current. What the authorization record states. Which visit count is recorded. What the front desk may say. Which question must go to a clinician or billing owner. Whether the patient consented to that channel. A useful clinic assistant prepares bounded administrative work from approved records. It does not diagnose, triage, prescribe, interpret a plan of care. It does not determine medical necessity, decide coverage. It does not promise a clinical or payment result. ## Three jobs a clinic agent can prepare from source records ### 1. Prepare a referral and authorization status summary The agent reads `patients/PT-184/referrals/current-referral.md`, `patients/PT-184/authorizations/A-09.md`, and `rules/authorization-status.md`. It writes `patients/PT-184/prepared/authorization-summary.md` with the referring source as recorded, service category, stated date range, authorized units or visits if present, recorded usage count, next administrative action, and unresolved conflict. It does not determine whether a service is covered, medically necessary, billable, or appropriate. It does not infer remaining visits when units and visits use different definitions. If referral, authorization, and visit records disagree, the output names every source and stops for the billing owner. ### 2. Draft a scheduling follow-up from the intake record The agent reads `intake/I-771.md`, `scheduling/requests/SR-771.md`, and `rules/patient-scheduling-messages.md`. It prepares `drafts/I-771-scheduling-follow-up.md` with the patient’s stated request, approved clinic location, available administrative options recorded by staff, missing forms, communication consent, and callback route. It does not decide urgency, select a clinician based on symptoms, promise a treatment type, alter an appointment, or expose another patient’s schedule. A clinical question in the intake becomes a routing item for qualified staff, not text for the agent to answer. ### 3. Organize a billing question without deciding the balance The agent reads `patients/PT-552/billing/statement-register.md`, `patients/PT-552/billing/contact-history.md`, and `rules/billing-inquiry-intake.md`. It writes `patients/PT-552/prepared/billing-inquiry.md` with the statement reference, date of service, amount shown in the current record, payer status as recorded, prior office response, patient question, and missing documents. It does not interpret benefits, correct a code, change a balance, waive a fee, promise reimbursement, or state that a payer will approve the claim. Billing and clinical owners resolve errors in the authoritative system before a reviewed reply is prepared. ## What the clinic keeps You keep intake records, referrals, authorizations, consent state, schedules, administrative visit references, and billing status. You also keep contact history, request assignment rules, corrections, and run receipts. Clinical and billing systems remain authoritative for their records. The assistant reads only approved sources needed for one administrative output. You keep source roles. The referral records what the clinic received. The authorization file records the payer statement or verified entry. The clinical owner controls the plan of care and clinical language. The billing owner controls claim and balance status. The scheduling record controls confirmed appointments. A patient message is a question, not authority to alter any record. You keep chiropractic and physical therapy rules explicit. Shared front-office facts can have one owner. Credentials, treatment records, referral requirements, authorization language, and clinical request assignment can differ. One discipline’s example must not become the other discipline’s policy. The front office approves administrative messages. Clinicians approve clinical statements. Billing owners approve coverage and balance language. The exact recipient, channel, attachments, and final text remain gated. A run ends with a prepared draft and receipt. Otherwise, it ends with a blocked note naming the missing owner. ## What the assistant never does without approval. Configure and test these limits. [Human-review guidance](https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/guides/safety-best-practices). The assistant does not send a message, book or move an appointment, diagnose, triage. It does not recommend care, interpret symptoms, modify a plan, determine necessity, or decide coverage. It does not change a code or balance, waive a fee, or submit a claim. It does not access unrelated patient records, promise eligibility, clinical results, reimbursement, timing. Approval binds the exact patient, source records, clinic account, recipient, channel, attachments, and final text. If an authorization changes or a clinician corrects the record, prepare a new action preview. ## Defense ChatGPT Work supports forms on some websites. Access and task steps affect completion. [OpenAI documentation](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001280-using-cloud-browser-in-chatgpt). Example intake checks. An incomplete request could contain a name and "appointment next week". It could omit the referral source, the plan the office bills, or a callback number. Write down the administrative fields each request needs. Name the front-desk owner. Require staff approval for every message before it reaches a patient. Check your own site: [/check](/check) The check reads visible fields and public facts. It cannot prove identity or server enforcement. [See visible request fields](/check#forms) ## What to write down first - **Public facts.** Office hours, locations, and plans the clinic bills. - **Required fields.** Appointment fields, callback number, referral status, and required paperwork. - **Current source.** Current office request and referral assignment rules. Name each job's current controlling file. - **Approval and stops.** Name approvers. Stop for missing or conflicting facts. - **Corrections.** The front-desk lead dates accepted corrections in the current file. Check the next draft. ## Website If your clinic has no site, or one that is years out of date, a patient cannot tell which services you offer, which provider to see, or how to book a first visit. A working site names the services each provider offers, the clinic locations, and the hours. It states the payment and insurance information your front desk has approved to publish. It gives a new patient one clear way to request a first visit, with no clinical claim a provider has not reviewed. Scale With Search builds small websites for chiropractic and physical therapy clinics. A small website costs **$1,500 to $2,500**, with SEO setup included. The written scope names the pages, the area you serve, and the way a visitor reaches you before work starts. [Full scope and terms](/work). [Send your brief](/work#send-your-brief) with the services you offer and the locations you run. ## What it costs Scale With Search builds three things for a chiropractic or physical therapy clinic: a scoped website, the source record behind it, and a business tool with defined inputs and outputs. A written scope states each price before work starts. The working session costs **$1,500**, **credited toward the build**. [Current prices and terms](/work). A separate written scope covers the source files and the preparation tool. Do not begin with every patient, note, payer, and schedule. Choose one referral summary, scheduling follow-up, or billing intake. ## FAQ ### Can the assistant tell a patient how many covered visits remain? It can restate a current verified authorization and recorded usage when the definitions align. It cannot decide coverage or reconcile conflicting units, dates, visits, and payer rules. ### Can it answer a patient’s symptom question? No. It can preserve the patient’s words and route the question under clinic rules. Triage, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical advice remain with qualified staff. ### Can it schedule the right clinician automatically? No. Scheduling can depend on clinical need, credentials, location, authorization, availability, and patient consent. The assistant stops with an approved administrative summary. ### Should chiropractic and physical therapy share all context? No. Share only approved company facts. Keep discipline-specific clinical records, referral rules, credentials, and request assignment boundaries explicit and separate. ### Does this replace our EHR, billing, or scheduling system? No. Start with minimum approved records or exports for one job. Replacement needs a separate privacy review, migration plan, and acceptance test. ## Follow these office jobs - [Prepare a referral and authorization status summary](/guides/chiropractic-and-physical-therapy-clinics/prepare-a-referral-and-authorization-status-summary) -
