PsyBird puts the home exercise program you prescribe on your client’s phone and runs it with them: your exercises, at your dose, with the stops you set. Your client does the work between visits, and you see what they did, what hurt and when they stopped. Psy, the AI companion, talks them through it and answers their questions, and never changes your program.
What your clients get
- Today’s workout. The exercises due today, run in order with set and rest timers, and a demonstration for each exercise that has one: your clip, or a moving figure they can drag to turn.
- Pain and effort as they go. A pain slider on every set, and between sets a word from Psy about how it went, which they answer in their own words. A pain above the stop you set, or pain marked sharp, is kept for you, and Psy talks it through with them. They can end an exercise whenever they choose, and a short debrief and their own pain trend follow the workout.
- Red flags reach you. Chest pain, a sign of stroke, a fall with a knock to the head: when your client mentions one, Psy’s reply tells them to call 911 or get care today (on a phone, 911 is a tap), a workout under way ends, and the flag reaches you. A one-time screen when they join asks about recent red flags, and a yes reaches you too.
- A check the morning after a workout. How the pain is and whether it is back to usual, from the hour you choose.
- Psy, an AI companion. Before their first chat it tells them it is an AI, not a physical therapist. It knows your program, your precautions and your plan of care’s goals, answers their questions about pain, the exercises and the dose in plain words, with research sources when a question calls for them, and can suggest a change for that day only. It never changes your program.
What you get
- Programs drafted by chat, confirmed by you. Describe a program to Psy, or easier and harder versions of an exercise, and it drafts them. Nothing is added until you tap, and nothing reaches your client until you confirm its stops. With versions saved, the app can move your client a step down when the pain rises or a step up after three workouts that felt too easy, and tells you each time, with Undo; or it waits for your OK.
- Your clips. Upload a demonstration once and attach it to any exercise. PsyBird converts it on its own servers and removes the phone’s location from the file. Where there is no clip, Psy draws a moving figure of the exercise; ask it to redo one in a line, or attach a clip instead.
- Adherence at a glance, a Workouts column with Psy’s short summary of each workout, and a flag in Needs attention for a red flag, a yes on the intake screen, a pain above your stop, a rise in pain, or a morning that is not back to usual.
- Psy’s suggestions, for you to decide. A change Psy suggested to your client comes to you as a message in that client’s thread, with Accept, Adjust and Not now. You choose how much Psy says during a workout and whether it suggests doses at all.
- Notes you sign. Evaluation, daily note, progress report, re-evaluation and discharge summary in one editor, with a reminder when a progress report is due and addenda once a note is signed. Psy can draft a daily note from a recording; you code it and sign it.
- A plan of care written in PsyBird or uploaded from one you have, a PDF for the physician to sign, the approval you record, and reminders before certification runs out. They warn; they never block a visit, a note or a claim.
- Outcome questionnaires your client answers in the app, scored, with the change and the MCID beside the score; discharge and reopen; and a records packet for a records request.
- New clients, if you want them. Turn on New client referrals, and a request for physical therapy from Find a therapist in a state where you list a license can come to you, one clinician at a time.
Getting paid
Visit claims. PsyBird files your visits as 837P claims through its clearinghouse, with GP on every line and the units the 8-minute rule suggests for you to confirm. You choose every code; PsyBird never picks one. If your notes and billing live in another records system, turn visit billing off and use PsyBird for the home program and RTM.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring. A workout, the morning check, a questionnaire, a goal check-in and a message about their program that your client types to you or to Psy count as data days, per 30-day period, and you review every listed day before you sign. Medicare’s 2026 RTM codes for a musculoskeletal program are 98975 (setup, once an episode), 98977 or 98985 (the supply: 16 or more days, or 2 to 15) and 98980 and 98981 (your management time, per calendar month). PsyBird files PT RTM to Original Medicare only, and leaves the two supply codes off every claim until you read and accept its physical therapy device statement, because whether the app qualifies is your determination. Coverage depends on your payer and your license, and you verify it.
Coverage checks ask Medicare about outpatient physical therapy and show the therapy used so far this year, so you can decide on KX yourself.
The price
$79 a month for your PT seat, $10 for each client month with a signed RTM report, $1 for each RTM claim and $0.50 for each visit claim PsyBird files. A home-program client has no per-client charge. The seat is free until your first client signs in, then bills every month from that month on, and stopping it means closing the practice. Pricing has the rest.
Before you start
- You set every exercise, dose, stop and precaution, and whether the app may move a client between versions of an exercise; you screen your clients for them.
- PsyBird is not monitored in real time and is not for emergencies.
- Your clients are adults, and you practice where you are licensed.
- A card at sign-up, as for every practice; nothing is charged until your first client signs in.
