Every lead, one workflow, zero lost patients.

A strong intake workflow covers referral capture, insurance verification, prior authorization, and intake form collection — ideally in one system rather than several stitched together. Hipp Intake handles all four for ABA, speech, OT, and other ambulatory specialties, configured to each payer's and each practice's specific requirements.

Not every intake tool requires replacing what's already in place — some are built to layer on top of an existing system instead. Hipp Intake is built this way, so larger practices can start automating referral intake without a full platform switch.

The main risk with multi-specialty intake is running separate tools per line of business, which fragments the data model. Hipp Intake runs on the same ambulatory data model across ABA, speech, OT, and other specialties, so multi-service practices can standardize without separate tools for each one.

Go-live timelines depend heavily on whether a tool requires a full data migration or can run alongside what's already in place. Because Hipp Intake layers on top of your existing system rather than replacing it, most teams are live within days, not months, with no data migration required.

Referral data — demographics, insurance details, clinical documents — is protected health information from the moment it enters the system. Hipp encrypts it in transit and at rest, restricts access by role, and never exposes it to public AI training. Automation doesn't change the standard; it just means fewer people handle the data manually.
