Ultimate Therapy cut documentation time in half and finally has billing they can actually see.

The Challenge

Ultimate Therapy was already using an EMR. But the system still required constant typing, frequent clicking in and out of screens, and too much documentation effort after the treatment day ended.
‍
Evaluations, reevaluations, and progress notes were taking 20–30 minutes each, even with therapists trying to complete as much as possible during the visit itself. Follow-up notes were more manageable at 5–7 minutes, but the heavier documentation was where the day broke down.

These challenges created ripple effects across the clinic:

After-hours documentation - Every therapist except the PTAs regularly had charting left after treatment hours.

Divided attention during evaluations – Clinicians were trying to stay engaged with patients while typing quickly enough not to miss important information.

Declining billing transparency – The clinic’s previous billing experience had once worked well, but after the COVID period, claims were not being worked as efficiently, communication slowed, and claim status became harder to follow.

Front desk time consumed by prior auth – Staff were spending valuable bandwidth on payer admin instead of customer service, scheduling, and keeping the clinic full.

Growing operational strain  – Documentation, authorizations, and billing each created separate burdens that added up across the business.

Ultimate Therapy needed more than another EMR. They needed a platform that could reduce documentation drag, take pressure off the front desk, and make billing easier to understand and manage.

Why They Chose SPRY

Samantha took the decision seriously. She evaluated other EMR companies and spent time making sure SPRY was the right fit before moving forward.

“From the beginning, interviews with the SPRY team, they were very personable and I felt taken care of, like the team was truly there, curious about what I was looking for and how their product could be tailored to my clinic. I also never felt pressured at all in my decision to join SPRY.”
