Physical Therapy EMR for Personal Injury
Physical therapy clinics treat personal injury and insurance patients. Ambula runs both in one cloud-based EMR, from evaluations and exercise flow sheets to claims, liens, and attorney records.
One record, from first visit to handoff
Follow the clinical case without losing the work around it.

Connected care path
One connected personal injury record
One record from the evaluation to discharge.
Ambula is a cloud-based physical therapy EMR for clinics that treat personal injury patients. It keeps the evaluation baseline, plan of care, exercise flow sheets, progress against goals, appointment reminders, billing, and attorney records in one case, so the progress summary is ready when the firm asks for it.
Personal injury workflow
What a standard physical therapy EMR misses with personal injury patients.
A therapy EMR documents sessions and bills insurance. A personal injury case also needs a signed lien, a patient who finishes the plan of care, and progress the attorney can follow.
A plan of care patients keep
Automated appointment reminders by email and text help patients keep the sessions their recovery and their case depend on.
Liens signed at intake
Patients sign intake, consent, and lien forms before the evaluation, and the referring attorney is on the case from day one.
Progress the attorney can follow
Measurements from each session sit next to the baseline and become the progress summary, instead of a discharge note someone rewrites.
Insurance and lien billing in one place
Electronic claims for insurance patients and lien billing for personal injury cases run from the same EMR.
01 · Intake
Evaluation baseline and plan of care before the first session.
Start with the injury, the measured baseline, and the plan of care before the first session.
Patients describe the accident and what they can no longer do in digital intake before the evaluation.
Evaluation measurements set the baseline that every later session is compared against.
Recovery goals and the plan of care are written into the case at the evaluation.
Physical therapy intake
02 · Care
Exercise flow sheets and progress against goals.
Chart each session quickly and keep it tied to the goals set at the evaluation.
Each session's exercises are logged on flow sheets, so the program is easy to follow.
Measurements from each visit sit next to the baseline, so the team can adjust the plan when progress stalls.
The next session is booked, and the patient gets email and text reminders.
03 · Handoff
Progress summaries, ready for the firm.
Turn the sessions you charted into the progress summary the attorney asks for.
A case report built from the baseline, goals, and session notes, not rewritten at discharge.
Choose which notes the firm can see in the Lawyer Portal. Nothing else is shared.
The itemized bill and current lien balance go to the law office with the records.

Physical therapy EMR questions
Practical answers about the record, treatment progress, and the information that follows the case forward.
01What should a physical therapy EMR have if we treat personal injury patients?+
Evaluation templates, flow sheets, and progress tracking are the start. For personal injury cases you also need lien forms at intake, reminders that keep patients on their plan of care, progress summaries built from the chart, and attorney access you control. Ambula includes these in one EMR.
02How much does Ambula's physical therapy EMR cost?+
Ambula costs $300 per provider per month on the independent practice plan, with no per-claim fees. It includes therapy templates, scheduling and reminders, personal injury billing, the Lawyer Portal, and email and phone support.
03Can Ambula handle insurance patients as well as personal injury cases?+
Yes. Ambula verifies insurance coverage and generates and submits electronic claims for insurance patients, and runs lien billing for personal injury cases, so the whole clinic works from one EMR.
04How does Ambula track functional progress?+
Therapists record objective measurements at the evaluation and at each session. Ambula tracks them over time against the baseline and the plan-of-care goals, so the team can see when progress stalls and adjust the plan.
05Does Ambula include exercise flow sheets?+
Yes. Each session's exercises are logged on flow sheets in the chart, next to the documentation templates and treatment guidelines.
06Can Ambula reduce missed therapy sessions?+
Ambula sends automated appointment reminders by email and text, which helps patients keep the sessions their plan of care and their case depend on.
07Can we prepare a progress summary for the attorney?+
Yes. A case report pulls the baseline, goals, and session notes from the record, and you choose what the firm receives through the Lawyer Portal.
08Can we bring records from our old EMR?+
Yes. If your records are structured data, such as Excel or CSV files, or scanned documents, Ambula can migrate them, working with your current EMR vendor.
