Mira Operations · Orthopedic Back Office

Your patients never fill out the same form twice.

Intelligent intake for orthopedic private practice. Returning patients confirm what you already know; everyone gets a short, dynamic form with only the questions this visit needs — coverage checked in real time, reminders by text and email, and a clean PDF into your EHR.

Your practice's branding, not ours — and returning patients open it already filled in.

The Real Cost

A cheap form doesn't cut the cost. It moves it to your staff.

Every generic intake tool collects answers and stops. The expensive part — the clinical and administrative work — still lands on the people you pay.

Mira closes all four.

That's the difference between buying a form and buying intake software.

01

Every submission re-typed by hand

Staff time

Front-desk hours lost to double data entry — and a fresh chance to fat-finger a date of birth or an allergy on every chart.

02

Denials that started at the desk

Lost revenue

A wrong member ID or an expired plan becomes a rejected claim weeks later — found long after it was cheap to fix.

03

Ninety-field forms patients abandon

No-shows & rework

Half-finished submissions mean clipboards at check-in anyway, more phone calls, and a thinner history for the visit.

04

Every visit starts from scratch

Repeat work

Returning patients re-enter the same demographics, insurance, and history they gave last quarter. Nothing carries over, so nothing gets faster.

Disability & Payer Forms

The forms nobody digitizes. Filled anyway.

FMLA certifications, disability-carrier forms, workers' comp paperwork — they arrive as someone else's PDF, and today a staffer fills them in by hand, one blank at a time. Upload one to Mira instead — even a crooked scanned fax — and AI maps everything the patient has already given you onto it: every form they've completed, their intake answers, the chart. The form comes back done — your team glances, signs, sends.

How a fill works

01

Upload any image or PDF

Digital or scanned — Mira reads the layout, finds every fillable blank, and even titles and files the form for you. No template setup.

02

Mapped from everything on file

Every form this patient has ever completed becomes source material — intake answers, prior fills, the chart, uploaded documents. Mira maps it all onto the new form's blanks. The rare thing it can't source is flagged, never guessed.

03

Glance, sign, send

Usually there are one or two judgment calls left. Your saved signature drops in, and the finished PDF renders on the original form — ready for the carrier or employer.

$5 per completed form — billed only when you use it, with a ledger of every fill. No per-seat upsell, no module to license.

Teach it once. Adjust a box on a new form and Mira remembers the layout for every future fill of that form — the second Hartford packet opens ready to review.

The Back Office

Automate every form, fax, and packet.

Intake is only half the paperwork. The rest arrives all day, mostly by fax, and someone on staff sorts it, retypes it, and assembles it into packets by hand. Mira Operations handles that stream the same way it handles intake: read automatically, filled from what is already on file, and handed back for a quick review.

Inbound faxes

Sorted the moment they arrive

Every fax is read as it lands. Mira recognizes what it is and who it concerns, titles it, and files it where your team expects it, instead of a stack someone opens page by page.

Auto-filled

Populated from what you have

When a fax is a form to complete, Mira fills it the way it fills disability paperwork: from the chart, intake answers, and every form the patient has already given you. Your team reviews and signs instead of retyping.

Packets

Packets that build themselves

Paperwork that needs to travel together now comes together on its own. Mira gathers the right documents into one clean, ready-to-send packet, so your team reviews it and sends it rather than collating it.

Why Mira

Three ways to digitize intake. One was built for a clinic.

Generic builders look cheap until HIPAA — then they cost real money and still stop at the answer. Phreesia has real depth but enterprise weight. Only Mira carries the record across visits, verifies coverage, and writes back into your chart — light enough for a private practice.

vs. Jotform

A form builder where HIPAA alone starts at $129 a month (Gold) — and it still just collects answers and stops. No eligibility, no reminders, nothing carries to the next visit.

vs. Typeform

The best-looking form on the market, and built for surveys, not clinics. No eligibility, no EHR, no record that follows the patient.

vs. Phreesia

Enterprise intake built for health systems, with the rollout and price to match. Mira gives a private practice the same depth — cheaper, lighter, and with payer-form filling Phreesia doesn't have.

How It Works

A form that asks only what this visit needs.

No ninety static fields. The patient describes the problem in plain language, and Mira asks only the clinically pertinent follow-ups — along pathways your own providers author. Shorter for the patient, higher-signal for you.

“My right knee gives out when I go down stairs.”

“My right shoulder has been aching since I fell skiing two weeks ago…”

Have you had any imaging yet — and does it ache at night?

Answer in your own words…

They talk, or type. Only the pertinent follow-ups come back.

And the moment they submit

Coverage

Insurance verified in real time

The card is captured and benefits checked the moment they submit — prior-auth and copay flagged days before the visit, while there's still time to act.

Your chart

Written into your EHR

Each answer lands in the right field of the record — no one re-types a thing — and prints as a clean PDF that matches the exact forms your clinic already uses.

Next time

Saved to their record

What they entered carries to the next visit — and across every practice on Mira — so next time they confirm what you know instead of starting over.

Setup

Your forms, rebuilt in an afternoon. Not a migration project.

Describe a form in a sentence and watch it build itself. Or photograph the paper form on your clipboard and Mira rebuilds it — same questions, same sections, now digital. There is no form-builder to learn.

Eligibility & Payments

Catch the denial before it happens.

Most rejected claims start at the front desk — a wrong member ID, an expired plan, a missed prior auth. Mira runs real-time eligibility and benefits the moment the patient submits, days before the visit, so your team fixes problems while there's still time to fix them.

A single manual eligibility check can take a staffer 10–15 minutes on the phone. Mira runs one for every patient automatically — and re-checks before the appointment.

On submit

Insurance card captured

The patient photographs their card; member ID, group, and payer fill in automatically — no squinting, no typos.

Minutes later

Coverage checked in real time

Eligibility and benefits run automatically — no staffer on hold with a payer to confirm a plan.

Before the visit

Auth & copay surfaced

Prior-authorization requirements flagged and the copay known while there’s still time to act on them.

Day of visit

Nothing to chase

The desk confirms a number instead of starting a claim it will have to rework later.

Mira Passport

Never ask the same question twice.

Most of the patients walking in today have been to your practice before. They shouldn't fill out the whole form again — and with Passport, they don't.

01

Confirm a code

A code by text or email verifies identity in seconds — no account, no password.

02

Their record loads

Demographics, insurance, medications, and history pre-filled from what they’ve already given.

03

Confirm or correct

They check what changed since last time, and move on.

Their record carries across visits — and across every practice on Mira. The longer you use Mira, the less intake there is to do.

And More

Everything else your front desk stops doing by hand.

Picture-perfect custom PDFs

Your real forms, rendered exactly — your logo, your layout, signatures and all. Surgery reservations, workers’ comp, clearance letters, referrals. Not a generic export.

Fewer no-shows

Reminders go out by text and email before the appointment, each with a one-tap link back to the exact form. Patients reply STOP any time.

Talk instead of type

Patients who’d rather speak just say their answers, and they land as structured fields — hands-free for the post-op patient in a sling.

Start now, finish later

Patients who can’t finish in one sitting pick up exactly where they left off from a link — so forms get completed, not abandoned.

Waiting-room kiosk

Hand a patient the clinic iPad and it wipes clean for the next one. Shared device, zero data bleed between patients.

Build a form by describing it

Tell Mira what you need — “new-patient rotator cuff intake” — and the form is built in seconds, the right fields and all. No form-builder to learn.

Surgery reservations that fill themselves

Pick the procedure and Mira proposes anesthesia, positioning, implants, and pre-op orders. Your team confirms instead of building each one from scratch.

Point to where it hurts

Patients mark the pain on a body diagram instead of describing it — localized and structured, straight into the chart.

Integration & Trust

Writes into your EMR. Never into a training set.

Intake data lands in the patient record automatically — no copy-paste, no double-entry — and every record is handled to clinical privacy standards.

Mira Operations in short

The orthopedic back office, automated

Mira Operations runs the paperwork side of an orthopedic practice. Inbound faxes are read, sorted, matched to the patient, and routed the moment they land. Intake forms ask only what each visit needs and never make a patient enter the same information twice. Eligibility is verified in real time, reminders go out by text and email, and disability, FMLA, and workers' comp forms are filled from the chart for your team to review and sign.

Frequently asked questions

01What is Mira Operations?
Mira Operations is intelligent patient-intake software built for orthopedic private practice. Returning patients confirm what you already know instead of re-entering it; everyone gets a short, dynamic form that asks only the questions this visit needs. Coverage is verified in real time, reminders go out by text and email, and everything writes back into your EHR as a clean PDF — instead of a survey your staff has to re-type.
02How is Mira different from Jotform, Typeform, or Phreesia?
Generic form tools collect answers and stop. Jotform's HIPAA-enabled plan starts at $129 a month (Gold) and it's still just a form builder. Typeform is built for surveys, not clinics. Phreesia has real depth but is built for health systems, with enterprise pricing and rollout to match. Mira gives a private practice Phreesia-class depth — a record that carries across visits, a dynamic form, real-time eligibility, reminders, EHR write-back, even disability-form filling — cheaper and without the enterprise weight.
03Do patients have to fill everything out again every visit?
No. With Mira Passport, returning patients confirm a code, their record loads pre-filled, and they correct only what changed. The record carries across visits — and across every practice on Mira — so the longer a practice uses Mira, the less intake there is to do.
04How is the form different from a normal online form?
It's dynamic. Instead of marching every patient through ninety static fields, the patient describes their complaint in plain language and the form asks only the clinically pertinent follow-ups — along pathways your own providers author. A right-knee complaint and a frozen-shoulder complaint go down different paths and never see each other's questions, so the form is shorter for the patient and higher-signal for you.
05Does Mira verify insurance eligibility in real time?
Yes. When a patient submits, Mira captures the insurance card and runs real-time eligibility and benefits checks, days before the visit. Prior-authorization requirements and copays are surfaced while there's still time to act, so denials that normally start at the front desk get caught early.
06Does Mira send appointment and intake reminders?
Yes. Mira sends reminders by both text and email, each with a one-tap link back to the exact form, and patients who can't finish in one sitting can pick up where they left off — which cuts no-shows and abandoned forms. Patients can opt out at any time.
07Does Mira work with my EHR and my existing forms?
Yes. Mira writes intake data into the patient record in major EHRs including Epic, Athena, and ModMed, so no one re-types it — and it produces beautiful PDFs that match the exact forms your clinic already uses.
08Can Mira fill out disability, FMLA, and workers' comp forms automatically?
Yes. Upload any payer PDF — even a scanned fax — and Mira finds every blank, checkbox, and signature line, fills them from the chart and the patient's intake record, and gives your staff a completed form to review, sign, and send. It costs $5 per completed form, billed only when you use it.
09Can Mira sort and fill the faxes my practice receives?
Yes. Inbound faxes are read as they arrive: Mira recognizes what each one is and who it concerns, titles it, and files it in the right place instead of a queue someone opens page by page. When a fax is a form to complete, Mira fills it from the chart and everything the patient has already provided, and your staff reviews it before anything goes out.
10Can Mira put together packets?
Yes. When paperwork needs to travel together, Mira gathers the right documents into one clean, ready-to-send packet. Your team reviews it and sends it, instead of collating pages by hand.
11Can Mira convert the paper forms my practice already uses?
Yes. Upload a PDF or even a photo of the paper form and Mira rebuilds it as a digital form — same questions, same options, same sections — in about a minute. You can also describe a form in a sentence and have it built for you, start from a vetted template, or build from scratch.
12Is Mira Operations private and HIPAA-compliant?
Yes. Mira is HIPAA-grade with a signed Business Associate Agreement, encrypts patient data end to end, logs every staff access to a record, and runs AI on a private, walled model. Patient data is never used to train models.
