AI for orthopedics: fill the surgical schedule, own the referral line.
Your surgeons have the skill and your ORs have the capacity. What kills the quarter is the empty slot, the no-show, the prior-auth that stalls for two weeks, and the referral that never converts. RIG builds the governed AI layer on top of the practice you already run, so the same schedule produces more completed cases and steadier volume.
Four places the money actually moves.
The surgical schedule fills itself
Referrals and pre-op inquiries triaged, qualified, and booked automatically, around the clock, straight into your EHR. A 24/7 scheduling engine that turns overnight interest into booked cases.
No-shows stop gutting the OR
A model flags the high-risk appointments 48 hours out and fires the SMS-and-offer sequence to backfill the slot before it goes dark. Lost-slot revenue comes back.
Prior-auth stops stalling
An agent chases insurance authorization, flags missing documentation, and nudges the case forward so your OR doesn't sit empty two weeks out. Cases move without your staff babysitting the fax queue.
Referral conversion climbs
GP and PT referrals tracked, followed up, and booked automatically so the physician-referral line you worked years to build converts instead of leaking into the EHR graveyard.
Same sequence, every time.
No science project. The exact audit → ship → install sequence we run to turn a practice's fragile scheduling and prior-auth into governed, predictable volume.
Audit
We map where revenue leaks (empty slots, no-shows, stalled cases, unconverted referrals) and where AI plugs it. A scored opportunity list, signed off. Not a slide deck.
Ship one engine
One governed engine (scheduling triage or no-show backfill) in production in 30 days, wired to your EHR and measured against a real number, not a demo.
Install the discipline
Governance, the operating model, and front-desk team training stay behind, so the gains hold and the next engine ships faster.
One front office, rebuilt as a system.
A real outcome I've produced at scale. RIG's governed approach makes it faster and repeatable for your practice.
