Patient volume builds over time. This resource explains the factors that influence how referrals are routed to you, so you can identify any practical adjustments that might help.

Filling a panel is a gradual process for most providers. Referral volume is also shaped by factors outside your control, including how established Klinic's presence is in your state and overall patient demand in your area. Some states have stronger demand than others, and markets at earlier stages of growth may see volume increase gradually over time as outreach and awareness expand.
If your volume feels low right now, that context matters.
This is the factor that most often affects referral routing, and it is worth understanding precisely how it works.
Patients almost always request the soonest available appointment. When a patient comes through, care coordination looks for a provider who can see them as soon as possible - often within a short window of when the request comes in.
The important nuance: For a first visit, patients can only book up to four days out. If your nearest opening is further out than that, the patient cannot book you at all. It is not about whether you have availability, it is about whether you have availability inside the four day window. See Provider Hours/Availability at Klinic Medical for how the window works.
