- Is Porto MD built for physical therapy practices?

- Does Porto MD include telehealth for physical therapy practices?
- Yes, from the Practice plan. Telehealth check-in, consent & licensure checks are live: consent, the patient's location and the provider's licensure are checked before every virtual visit. HD video visits are live.
- Does Porto MD bill insurance for physical therapy practices?
- No. Porto MD is cash-pay only. It does not accept, bill or process insurance, commercial or government, and it has no claims, coding or reimbursement features.
- How do physical therapy practices get started on Porto MD?
- Start an application at https://www.portomd.com/start?type=physical_therapy_practice. Every new practice is reviewed before activation, and the workspace opens with evaluation & treatment visits, plans of care and function & goals tracking ready to use.
- Do we need the prescribing module?
- No. If your therapists do not write prescription orders, Starter or Practice cover the practice; Solo exists for a single provider who prescribes.
- Can an assistant document under a therapist?
- Providers get a schedule and a chart. Front-desk staff get scheduling, check-in and messaging, never charts. Roles and permissions decide who sees what, and an append-only audit trail records every access.
- Does Porto MD track insurance authorizations?
- No. Plans of care in Porto MD are scheduling and documentation tools, not authorization tracking, and Porto MD files no insurance claims.
- How do we move from our current system?
- You keep your current system until you are ready. Documents and results can be attached to a Porto MD chart as files today, and the onboarding checklist walks your team through profile, locations, team, schedule, services, forms and programs. Porto MD does not offer a bulk record migration service, so plan the move with us on the demo.
