# clinIQ

> clinIQ is a clinic operations platform that sits on top of existing EHRs — adding real-time patient flow management, digital check-in, RTM billing automation (CPT 98975–98981), pre-authorization automation, scheduling, secure messaging, and analytics to any outpatient specialty practice without replacing the EHR. Built for 5–50 provider clinics. Live in days, not months.

clinIQ is made by The Algorithm LLC, a Colorado-based healthcare technology company. It is not an EHR, not an RPM (Remote Patient Monitoring) system, and not a billing/RCM company. It is the operational layer between your EHR and your daily clinic workflow — the infrastructure that EHRs were never designed to provide.

Clinics using clinIQ report a 22% reduction in patient wait times within the first month, digital check-in completed in under 3 minutes, and $120–$150 per qualifying patient per month in newly captured RTM revenue (CPT 98975–98981). Pre-authorization automation saves 13–15 staff hours per week.
