A licensed therapist releases a new or materially revised plan of care for patient decision and any required certification.
Timing
Only after the project, service, account, and exception records are current and match.

- Pause for replies, red flags, adverse events, changed conditions, privacy requests, disputes, regulator, legal, or clinician control.
Before You Use This Email
Why This Approach Works
Platform Setup Steps
Trigger
A licensed therapist releases a new or materially revised plan of care for patient decision and any required certification.
Segment
Verified physical-therapy patient or authorized representative for one current episode-of-care event.
Delay
Send after the record is reconciled and before the next dependent operational action.
Reply owner: Licensed therapist or plan owner responsible for evaluation, goals, interventions, risks, patient consent, certification, payer boundary, and version history.
- Verify patient and representative, communication preference, episode, clinical source, plan version, owner, consent, privacy boundary, payer state, and dependencies.
- Send minimum necessary information with one secure verification, consent, correction, scheduling, acknowledgment, payment, or records action.
- Record the decision, preserve clinical and authorization history, suppress superseded automation, and update the episode record.
Stop conditions
- A valid decision, superseding clinical record, cancellation, reply, or live handling.
- Patient, referral, plan, authorization, appointment, instruction, outcome, deadline, or payer state changes.
- Emergency, red flag, adverse event, privacy request, dispute, regulator, legal, or licensed-clinician control.
Mistakes To Avoid
- Treating payer authorization as clinical need
Coverage and skilled-care decisions are controlled by different records.
Use instead: Show payer state and therapist assessment separately.
- Sending a generic home exercise program
Dosage, precautions, progression, and response rules are patient-specific.
Use instead: Render only the current therapist-authored version.
Sequence Placement
Use only for the verified physical-therapy event represented by the current record; suppress when stale, superseded, emergent, disputed, transferred, completed, or under therapist, payer, regulator, legal, or emergency control.
