No-show recall texts for cash-pay physical therapy clinics
Our take
Empty chairs are cash they already earned and then lost. A recall text the same afternoon is a specific fix, not “marketing help.” You can pilot one clinic this week and see if no-shows drop.

What to watch
- HIPAA if they store clinical notes in your tool. Stay on scheduling, not treatment. One clinic that already texts patients is a faster yes than one that does not.
