Clinic: BEST Physical Therapy (now BEST Health, Wellness, Performance), a multi‑location practice with over 50 therapists.

Challenge: Fragmented workflows from separate EMR and billing systems led to coding errors, underpayments and unresolved denials.

Transition: SPRY combined EMR and billing into one platform, adding automated coding, authorization management, real‑time payment tracking and structured denial management.

Impact: Clean‑claim rates climbed to 95%, claim processing time dropped by 30 % and cash flow improved.

“We were using an older system, and while it wasn’t terrible, it certainly wasn’t ideal. Documentation was time-consuming, and we didn’t have clear insight into our operations,” said Sam Shah.

Client Overview

Founded by Marc Douek, BEST Physical Therapy (now rebranded as BEST Health, Wellness, Performance) is a multi-location group with more than 50 therapists.

The clinic is dedicated to delivering high-quality care across multiple disciplines, but fragmented claim workflows were threatening profitability and staff efficiency.

The Challenge

BEST Physical Therapy struggled with a disjointed system, switching between Jane (EMR) and Office Ally (billing).

These limitations caused ripple effects across the business:

Coding Errors —   from manual entry of CPT and ICD-10 codes, leading to frequent denials.

Incomplete Documentation  — that stalled approvals and disrupted billing accuracy.

Underpayment by Insurers  — due to limited visibility into claim statuses.

Neglected Denial Appeals —  many denied claims were left unresolved.

“Switching between systems like Jane and Office Ally was costing us time and money. It felt like we were constantly in catch-up mode,” Marc explained.

Why They Chose SPRY

The clinic needed a single, integrated system that could remove manual steps, prevent revenue leakage, and improve visibility into financial performance.

SPRY stood out for:

Automated Coding Templates to eliminate manual CPT/ICD-10 entry

Authorization Management that flagged missing details before claim submission

Real-Time Payment Tracking with a financial dashboard to spot underpayments

Structured Denial Management that automated appeals and prevented revenue loss
