AI SDR & Lead Conversion Solutions for Orthopedic Practices

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Our AI SDR follows your rules — you define what qualifies as a booked call and how different inquiry types are routed. Conversations can be handed to your staff with full context, so complex cases like Workers' Compensation or MVA claims reach the right person immediately instead of sitting in a voicemail box.","question":"How does an AI SDR handle orthopedic-specific inquiries like pre-authorization questions or Workers' Comp cases?"},{"answer":"No switch required. Pipeline recovery and our AI systems work with your existing CRM, phone, and document tools. You keep the systems your staff already knows — we simply make the lead-handling path faster and more consistent.","question":"Will this work with our existing EHR and CRM, or do we need to switch systems?"},{"answer":"That's exactly why fast follow-up matters. With orthopedic reimbursement falling every year and overhead at 43–48% of net collections, the cheapest growth is converting demand you've already paid for. Our AI SDR delivers a 4–7x conversion lift at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation than a traditional SDR team.","question":"With Medicare reimbursement declining, how can we justify more marketing spend?"},{"answer":"After a free growth call, we find the bottleneck and build the plan, then launch quickly — paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days, and your AI response path goes live using your calendar and rules. SEO compounds over months, and we continuously test and scale what works.","question":"How fast can we go live, and what does the process look like?"},{"answer":"Agencies typically stop at generating leads and hand you a spreadsheet; a coordinator costs a full salary and doesn't work nights or weekends. Worqd is a retainer-style growth partner that runs the whole path — ads, creative, and instant AI follow-up — with one plan, one report, and no vanity metrics, priced against the results that matter to you.","question":"How is Worqd different from hiring a marketing agency or an in-house patient coordinator?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Free Growth Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We find the bottleneck — where inquiries are leaking, what your referral and self-pay flow looks like, and where growth is stuck before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"We Build and Launch Fast","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Your response path goes live: AI SDR and voice agents qualify and book inquiries using your calendar and rules, and paid campaigns can start producing inquiries within days."},{"step":"3","title":"Learn, Improve, Scale","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"We watch lead quality and outcomes, drop what doesn't work, widen winning channels, and recover missed demand from old leads in your CRM."}],"ctaText":"Book a Growth Call — see how many orthopedic inquiries you're losing to slow follow-up","eyebrow":"AI SDR for Orthopedics","benefits":[{"icon":"TrendingUp","title":"More Booked Consults From the Same Spend","gradient":"from-emerald-500 to-teal-500","description":"AI SDR qualifies every web form, chat, and after-hours call for surgical consults — total knee, shoulder arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction — in under 60 seconds using your clinical criteria (insurance accepted, imaging requirements, BMI thresholds).
