Practice Zero and this problem

Independent practices still spend most of their day on coordination: eligibility, scheduling, follow-ups, claims, and payment tracking. That used to mean an office manager at every desk. Practice Zero treats it as an agentic EHR problem—software that acts, not just records.

What the field is learning

When intake, visit capture, and billing handoffs stay human-only, denials rise and follow-ups slip. Teams that instrument rooms and let agents own the loop—record, summarize, schedule, submit—cut cycle time without adding headcount.

What that means for a practice

You can start with a room and a connection. Optional room hardware captures the visit; Practice Zero agents draft the note, propose follow-ups, queue claims, and track payments. You approve the exceptions. The rest runs under your rules.

How Practice Zero approaches this

Practice Zero agents are built for ambulatory reality: eligibility before the visit, scheduling and recall after it, claims that leave clean, and payment tracking that does not live in a spreadsheet.

What a demo can clarify

A short demo clarifies what agents own vs what you approve: room capture, autonomous follow-ups, claims, and payment status. This note is general product information, not clinical advice.
