Question 1

Most of our new patients come from a referral. Does Mikla help with those?

Accepted Answer

This is the centre of the page. A referral that sits for a week goes to whichever practice called the patient first. Mikla reaches out as soon as the referral is logged. It records which office sent it, checks whether the paperwork has landed, and books the appointment with the provider who takes that source.

Question 2

Does Mikla give clinical advice?

Accepted Answer

No. Mikla books appointments and answers the routine desk questions. Your clinic days, where to park, how long to allow, what footwear to bring, and what happens at a first visit. It never discusses a condition, assesses an injury, or suggests what care somebody needs. Anything clinical goes to your podiatrist with a callback window attached.

Question 3

Diabetic foot care runs on a standing schedule. Can Mikla keep that going?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is the most valuable thing here. A recurring schedule collapses quietly when one visit is dropped and nobody rebooks it. Mikla confirms each upcoming appointment on the channel that patient reads. It offers a replacement the same week when one is missed, and keeps inviting back anyone who has fallen out of the pattern.

Question 4

What about custom orthotics? The timeline is the part patients forget.

Accepted Answer

Mikla tracks the casting appointment, the lab turnaround you tell it to expect, and the collection visit. It messages the patient when the device comes back. Fewer finished orthotics sit in a drawer waiting for somebody to remember.

Question 5

Can it deal with insurance and referral requirements?

Accepted Answer

It records the plan a caller names. It notes whether that plan needs a referral before you can see them. Then it passes everything to your billing team. Mikla does not verify benefits, count visits against a plan, or quote what an appointment costs.

Question 6

Our desk is casting an orthotic when the phone rings. Why add this?

Accepted Answer

That half hour repeats several times a day, and nobody in it can take a call. Mikla covers the calls that arrive while your chair and your desk are both busy. It also covers the evenings and the weekend, and leaves a written summary for the morning.

Question 7

Can it route by provider when we have more than one podiatrist?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New patients from a particular referring office, ongoing care schedules, and orthotic visits each land with the provider who handles them. Mikla books on the days that provider is in, for the length the visit needs.

Question 8

Will it work with the practice software we already use?

Accepted Answer

Mikla runs ahead of your intake. It replaces none of it. Your team decides what gets asked on first contact and what stays inside your records. Bring what you run to the demo and we will show you where the handoff falls.

Question 9

Will patients realise they are talking to software?

Accepted Answer

Mikla speaks with the greeting your practice already gives, in wording you approve. You decide whether it introduces itself to patients as an assistant. Any reply can sit in draft for a staff member to release until you are comfortable with it.
