The decision follows a rigorous request for proposal process, with Athletico leadership citing the need for a scalable, modern architecture capable of handling the complexities of a distributed rehabilitation network. By moving to a unified system, the company intends to reduce administrative friction and improve clinical documentation through Raintree’s native AI tools, which handle automated coding and scheduling tasks.

Dan Guill, CEO of Athletico, emphasized that the partnership was driven by Raintree’s capacity to manage enterprise-scale volume while aligning with the operational realities of large-scale physical therapy. The implementation will focus on four primary pillars: accelerating revenue cycles, increasing interoperability with external health systems, enhancing patient engagement, and embedding AI-driven automation into daily clinical workflows. For Raintree, the deal represents a significant expansion of its reach, as it provides the infrastructure necessary to support Athletico’s footprint across 24 states and the District of Columbia.
