Orthopedic practices are seeing a shift.
More patients are arriving with higher BMI, more complex conditions, and greater surgical risk. At the same time, practices are working to improve outcomes, keep schedules moving, and manage patient care beyond a single office visit.
For orthopedic clinics, lifestyle factors like weight, mobility, activity, nutrition, and recovery habits are becoming an increasingly important part of pain management, surgical readiness, and long-term outcomes.
That’s why Phoenix Ortho is expanding what orthopedic practices can do within Phoenix Go. With our new Prescribe FIT integration, practices can bring lifestyle health support and remote patient monitoring (RPM) directly into the orthopedic workflow they already use every day.
What is Prescribe FIT?
Prescribe FIT is a full-service remote monitoring and lifestyle health coaching program designed specifically for orthopedic patients. The program helps patients improve mobility, reduce pain, and prepare for surgery or non-surgical treatment through structured lifestyle support.
Using remote monitoring tools, a mobile app, and one-on-one health coaching, Prescribe FIT extends care beyond the clinic and helps patients make meaningful lifestyle changes that support orthopedic treatment plans.
For Phoenix Ortho clients, Prescribe FIT is now integrated directly with Phoenix Go, allowing practices to identify appropriate patients, enroll them in the program, and support remote monitoring workflows without leaving their EHR environment.
This means orthopedic teams can:
-
Identify patients who may benefit from lifestyle and RPM support
-
Enroll patients directly from within Phoenix Go
-
Support ongoing monitoring and documentation workflows
-
Capture recurring RPM revenue using audit-ready billing reports
All while continuing to work inside the orthopedic software platform they already know.
Why Lifestyle Health Matters in Orthopedics
Lifestyle health has traditionally been seen as something handled by primary care or left to the patient. But in orthopedics, factors like weight, mobility, activity level, and recovery habits can directly impact pain levels, surgical readiness, and post-operative outcomes.
Orthopedic practices regularly see how these factors influence treatment decisions:
-
Higher BMI and comorbidities can increase surgical risk
-
Mobility and activity levels affect recovery timelines
-
Patient habits between visits often determine long-term outcomes
Patients today also expect more support throughout their care journey, not just during a single visit or procedure.
By integrating Prescribe FIT into Phoenix Go, orthopedic practices can offer structured lifestyle support before and after treatment while helping patients make meaningful improvements that support their care plans.
How the Integration Works Inside Phoenix Go
The Prescribe FIT integration is delivered directly through Phoenix Go, allowing providers to work within the same system they already use for documentation, imaging, and practice management.
Inside Phoenix Go, clinicians can access a Prescribe FIT feature that identifies patients who may benefit from the program based on criteria such as BMI and diagnosis.
From there, the process is designed to remain simple and efficient.
1. Identify appropriate patients
Clinicians open the Prescribe FIT entry point within Phoenix Go to view patients who meet defined clinical criteria. This allows providers to quickly identify individuals who may benefit from structured lifestyle and RPM support.
2. Enroll patients in just a few clicks
Providers can select multiple patients, add clinical notes, and sign prescriptions directly within the Phoenix Go interface. Enrollment can be completed quickly without creating additional workflow steps for the care team.
3. Prescribe FIT manages patient engagement
Once enrolled, an automated API sends the order to the Prescribe FIT platform. The Prescribe FIT team then handles patient outreach, education, enrollment, and ongoing lifestyle coaching.
4. Support monthly RPM billing
Prescribe FIT generates audit-ready RPM reports aligned with current CPT guidance. Phoenix Go’s document engine can convert these reports into superbills using your existing billing templates, allowing billing teams to process RPM services using familiar workflows.
Three Ways the Integration Supports Your Practice
Clinical impact
Prescribe FIT helps orthopedic teams address lifestyle factors that directly affect pain, function, and surgical readiness. Practices can offer structured support before and after procedures while helping patients improve mobility, activity levels, and recovery outcomes.
Operational fit
The integration is designed to work naturally within Phoenix Go. Providers and staff continue using the same system they already rely on, while Prescribe FIT manages patient outreach, engagement, and coaching.
This allows practices to expand services without adding operational complexity.
Financial performance
Prescribe FIT can function as an insurance-reimbursable ancillary service that supports recurring monthly RPM revenue. For many orthopedic practices, this creates an additional revenue stream that complements surgical care rather than relying solely on procedure volume.
Is Your Practice a Good Fit?
Prescribe FIT is designed for private orthopedic practices using Phoenix Ortho that want to extend care beyond the exam room and create additional value for patients.
It may be a strong fit for:
-
Total joint, spine, sports medicine, foot & ankle, and upper extremity practices treating patients with elevated BMI or surgical risk
-
Clinics participating in MIPS, bundles, or value-based care initiatives that want to better support patient outcomes
-
Practices interested in adding non-surgical recurring revenue without building a full internal care management program
