The Fourth Agent

Care that continues between visits.

Clinekt's agents already capture your new patients, revive dormant ones, and reach your market. The Care Agent completes the picture: it stays with every patient between visits, so nobody drifts away and the care your practice already gives finally counts as the billable work it is.

Most of a patient's relationship with your practice happens outside the exam room. The months on conservative care. The recovery after surgery. The follow up that comes due next year. Nobody has the staff to check in monthly and write it all down, so that time stays silent. Medicare pays practices for exactly that work, and almost none of them bill it, because the documentation costs more than it returns.
What it does

Monthly care, run by the agent, supervised by your team.

Voice and text

Monthly check-ins

Checks in with your chronic and surgical patients every month by call or text, in your practice's name. Patients answer in about ninety seconds, and nobody has to download anything.

Validated outcomes

Real outcome measures

Collects validated surveys, including HOOS Jr and KOOS Jr for joint patients, matched before and after surgery. The same measures quality programs score.

Escalation

Flags who needs attention

Routes concerning answers to your staff, who review and act. Patients who go quiet get noticed and reached, instead of drifting away unseen.

Audit ready

Documentation, done

Logs every staff minute, holds the consent and the care plan, and hands your biller an audit ready monthly report. The work is provable the day it happens.

The agent
Does the outreach, the surveys, and the paperwork
Your team
Supervises the care and handles whoever needs attention
Your biller
Bills from the audit trail of both, through your normal process
The patient
Feels looked after, and never explains themselves twice
One platform, one memory
The Care Agent shares a single memory with Inbound, Recall, and Outbound. The patient who arrived through your website in the spring, had surgery in the summer, and answers a check-in this winter is one person to the platform, never a stranger.
Inbound
Captures and books new patients
Recall
Brings dormant patients back
Outbound
Reaches your market
Care
Stays with every patient between visits
Where CMS is going

Ready for the bundle era.

Medicare's mandatory joint replacement bundles score practices on patient engagement and patient reported outcomes across the full episode of care, and the proposed nationwide model extends that in 2027. The same monthly engagement and matched outcome surveys the Care Agent runs are the data those scores are built on. Practices that connect this now will already have the machinery, and the numbers, when the bundles arrive.

FAQ

Common questions about the Care Agent.

What does the Care Agent actually do?

Every month it checks in with your enrolled patients by call or text, collects how they are doing, gathers validated outcome surveys, and routes anything concerning to your staff. It logs all of it as it happens, so the care your practice delivers between visits is documented without anyone chasing paperwork.

Who does the clinical work?

Your team. The agent does the outreach and the paperwork. Your medical assistant or nurse reviews what it collects and cares for the patients who need attention, under your physicians' supervision. The agent makes those minutes efficient. It never replaces them.

Is the work really billable?

Yes. Medicare has paid practices for monthly care management for years. Most practices never bill it because the outreach and documentation take staff time nobody has. The Care Agent produces the consent records, care plans, time logs, and monthly reports your biller needs, and your biller submits through your normal billing process.

What about surgical patients in the global period?

The platform automatically excludes a surgeon's own post operative patients from billing during the global period. Their check-ins and outcome surveys still run, and the billing rules respect the bundle.

Does it work with our EHR?

Yes. The Care Agent starts from a simple patient list and works alongside Epic, athenahealth, ModMed, NextGen, eClinicalWorks, and the other major systems. No IT project required to begin.

How is this different from survey tools?

Survey tools send forms. The Care Agent holds a conversation, remembers the patient's history across every call, text, and email, and connects to the same platform that books new patients and recalls dormant ones. Nothing starts from zero, for the patient or for your staff.
