The cash-pay and direct access PT model is one of the fastest-growing segments of the profession. Independent DPTs stepping away from clinic environments need practice management software that handles bookings, session documentation, and payment tracking without insurance billing complexity. Riverd is built for this model: clean, fast, and free for up to 20 appointments per month. Every patient gets a full session history you can review before each visit to track functional progress over time.
