ModMed (Modernizing Medicine) is one of the most powerful EHR systems in aesthetics and dermatology - but it wasn’t built for marketing, lead nurturing, or retention automation.
If you’ve ever tried to track leads, reactivate lapsed patients, or send review requests after appointments using only ModMed, you already know the struggle:
No built-in sales pipeline or lead tracking
Limited automation for post-visit engagement
Manual exports to run marketing campaigns
And yes - constant headaches trying to make it “talk” to other tools
That’s where a dedicated CRM for ModMed comes in. A CRM gives your practice the marketing muscle ModMed doesn’t, while keeping everything HIPAA-secure and synced in real time.
The Problem with Zapier and Keragon
Most “ModMed integrations” you’ll find online rely on third-party tools like Zapier or Keragon. On paper, these sound great — they promise quick connections between ModMed and your CRM. But in reality, they create more problems than they solve — especially for practices that handle protected health information (PHI).
Here’s why:
They’re unreliable for complex data: These tools can only pass limited data fields — like a patient name or email. They can’t properly handle CPT codes, diagnosis data, or treatment history. The result? Broken automations and incomplete records.
They’re not truly customizable: You’re limited to a handful of pre-set “triggers” and “actions.” If you want a more sophisticated workflow — say, “send a reactivation message to Botox patients 6 months after their last visit” — you’ll quickly hit a wall.
They introduce unnecessary risk: Every additional integration layer increases the chance of data loss, duplication, or sync delays. In the medical space, even a small data mismatch can create big problems.
That’s why Dewy built a native ModMed integration - no Zapier, no Keragon, and no external middleware. Just a direct, secure, and fully HIPAA-compliant sync between ModMed and your CRM.
What a True ModMed–CRM Integration Looks Like
A native integration like Dewy’s ModMed sync goes far beyond basic “new patient → create contact” automations. Here’s how it actually works:
🔄 1. Two-Way Sync Between ModMed and CRM
Every new appointment, procedure, or diagnosis in ModMed automatically updates your CRM - and vice versa. No more manual CSVs or delayed data.
🧩 2. Smart Patient Segmentation
Data from ModMed (CPT/ICD-10 codes, provider, last visit date, etc.) is automatically synced inside Dewy's CRM. You can build smart lists like:
“Botox patients who haven’t returned in 6+ months”
“Laser patients eligible for maintenance packages”
“RHA filler patients ready for follow-up appointment”
💬 3. Automated Follow-Ups & Review Requests
After every appointment, Dewy can automatically trigger:
Thank-you messages
Google Review requests
Educational content for procedure aftercare
Win-back sequences for no-shows
Bonus: Every automation can be personalized with specific data like treatment type and provider.
📊 4. Full-Funnel Visibility
From ad click to appointment, every step is tracked - giving you clarity on which marketing efforts actually drive booked visits and repeat patients.
