New Patient Intake for Mental Health Practices
Automated new patient information gathering that starts before they walk in. Built specifically for mental health practices, FrontDesk handles new patient intake automatically so your team can focus on client care.
The Problem
Why mental health practices need new patient intake
These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.
clients expect immediate response
When a client calls your practice, they expect to be helped right away. Delays, holds, and voicemail lead to lost sessions.
Staff can't keep up with demand
Your front desk handles dozens of tasks simultaneously. New Patient Intake often falls through the cracks during busy periods.
After-hours gaps in coverage
35% of calls happen outside business hours. Without coverage, new patient intake stops when your office closes.
Manual processes don't scale
As your practice grows, manual new patient intake becomes unsustainable without adding more staff.
