The Functional Pain Platform

RTM and pain-specialty compliance,
in one platform.

IFPP™ is the clinical platform built inside a live interventional pain practice. Remote Therapeutic Monitoring with audit-ready documentation, and the compliance workflows pain medicine actually runs on — UDS ordering, COT tracking, ORT risk stratification — in one system instead of three.

Now in production Live at three clinic locations across Georgia and Florida. Patient app in both app stores. First RTM billing cycle running now.

01   The difference

Every other RTM platform
stops at the check-in.

What makes this different

RTM lives next to the compliance workflows that keep pain clinics out of trouble.

Generic RPM and RTM vendors capture daily check-ins and a billing code. They leave UDS ordering, COT documentation, ORT stratification, and safety-flag routing to whatever spreadsheet or sticky-note system the clinic was using before.

IFPP does not. RTM and the compliance tools pain medicine is actually audited on live in the same platform, sharing the same patient record, run by the same staff. Because it was built inside a live pain practice that does all of them every day.

Two systems, one record

The patient app captures daily check-ins, procedure follow-ups, and delivers an eight-week evidence-based curriculum — the engagement layer that makes RTM data days and treatment-management contact billable.

The staff portal is where the clinical work actually happens: RTM billing workflow, UDS order management, COT compliance tracking, screening tools (ORT, PHQ-9, GAD-7, COMM), clinical ops flags, and billing-ready documentation.

One patient record threads both. The check-in that produces an RTM data day lives in the same record as the UDS interval the patient is due for, and the COT flag that the front desk needs to action at the next visit. No bolt-ons. No reconciliation at claim time.

02   What lives where

A patient app the patient uses.
A staff portal the clinic runs on.

Patient app — iOS & Android

What the patient does

Clinic-issued. Not a consumer download. Patients activate the app with an enrollment code during a visit, and the data flows directly to the clinic's portal.

  • Daily check-ins Pain, sleep, mood, function. The data days that drive RTM billing.
  • Eight-week curriculum 40 interactive lessons. Pain education, pacing, sleep hygiene, nutrition, cognitive approaches.
  • Guided breathing tools In-app audio-guided exercises patients actually use during flares.
  • Progress tracking 7-day and monthly trends, curriculum progress, personal insights.
  • Screening tools ORT, PHQ-9, GAD-7, and COMM — completed in-app, scored, and delivered to the portal.
  • Procedure follow-ups Post-procedure check-in sequences that document outcomes and support recovery.
Staff portal — clinic-facing

What the clinic runs

The daily operating view for the clinic. Designed around how the staff — MAs, intake, providers — actually move through a day.

  • RTM work queue & billing summary Data days, interactive contact status, treatment-management time, billing readiness. Codes 98975, 98977, 98985, 98979, 98980, 98981.
  • UDS order frequency engine Orders UDS at CMS-defensible intervals based on documented risk stratification — not a blanket cadence that produces audit findings both ways.
  • COT compliance Contemporaneous documentation, compliance flags, automatic routing. Not a binder of PDFs.
  • Screening review & trending Patient-completed ORT, PHQ-9, GAD-7, and COMM scores surfaced in the portal for clinical review and tracked over time.
  • Clinical ops dashboard Flagged items, visit authorizations, VA Community Care tracking — in one daily view.
  • IFPP Assistant A staff-facing clinical assistant grounded in the practice's own data, running on HIPAA-compliant AWS infrastructure.
03   Why it exists

Every tool we looked at missed half the requirements of our specialty.

The platforms built for cardiology, endocrinology, and primary care don't map onto pain medicine. The compliance burden is different. The documentation risk is different. The economics are different.

IFPP started as an internal build at Southern Interventional Pain Center because the available options forced a choice: a check-in app with no compliance infrastructure, a compliance tool with no patient engagement, or a general-purpose RPM platform that treated UDS and controlled-substance tracking as an afterthought.

What exists now is the version of the platform that a pain physician would build for their own clinic — because that's exactly what it is. The RTM workflow and the compliance tools are not bolt-ons. They share one patient record. The patient app reflects how patients in this specialty actually engage. The clinical assistant is trained on the workflows the clinic already runs.

It is running. It is billing. A small number of outside clinics are now being invited to pilot it.

04   Get the app

Live in both app stores.
Clinic-issued, not consumer-downloaded.

Patients receive an enrollment code during a visit and activate the app against their clinical record.

This is intentional. Clinic-issued enrollment ensures data integrity, ties the patient record to RTM billing from day one, and keeps the app out of the consumer-app noise floor.

Available on iPhone and Android. The iOS listing is Apple Unlisted — discoverable only through the direct link below.

05   Who it's for

Pain practices that want RTM done right
or compliance that holds up.

Fit

Solo and small-group pain practices

Clinics that want to capture RTM revenue without staffing a new workflow, or that need UDS and COT documentation that survives an audit. Onboarding takes a patient list — not an EMR integration.

Fit

Multi-location pain groups

Groups standardizing clinical operations across sites. Per-location views, shared compliance posture, one source of truth for patient engagement and billing-ready documentation.

Fit

Practices facing audit exposure

Practices that have been audited, know they will be, or simply want a platform that treats DEA and CMS requirements as baseline features rather than premium modules.

Pilot partnerships — now open

A small number of outside clinics.
Over the next two quarters.

Pilot conversations are peer-to-peer. We work directly with the physician or practice lead to scope a fit, not through a sales team.

If RTM, audit defense, or patient engagement is on your mind — reach out. We'll talk about what you're actually trying to solve.
