ReferralFit
Read full descriptionHide full description
ReferralFit is the working notebook of a professional intervention practice. It keeps the people, programs and promises of this work in one place, so no family waits on a call that was forgotten and no referral partner goes cold. Built by an interventionist with 22 years in the field, for the practices doing this work every day. TODAY Open the app and see what is due: new leads to call back, consults on the calendar, beds to confirm, follow-ups you owe, and programs that have answered your placement requests. Overdue items rise to the top. MATCHING Describe what a family needs, and ReferralFit ranks your partners by level of care, location, insurance, budget and therapy fit. Save the match to the case so the reasoning stays with the family. PLACEMENT REQUESTS Instead of calling programs one by one, send one de-identified request to several of your ranked programs and compare their answers side by side: whether they can admit, how soon, and the daily rate. Programs on ReferralFit answer in their own portal; for any other program, send the summary by text or email and log the answer. Programs cannot pay to be asked, and their answers never change your rankings. LEVEL OF CARE A short, structured assessment across six areas recommends a level of care and writes out the rationale. You choose the level to place at, and the reasoning goes into the program's copy of the placement packet. TRUE COST TO THE FAMILY Record the family's deductible, out-of-pocket maximum and coinsurance, and see an estimate of what a placement would cost them. Always labeled an estimate, never shared with programs, and never used to rank. PROGRAM INTEGRITY Before you refer, see whether a program's state license, accreditation, LegitScript certification and NPI are on file and current. CASES One record per family: contacts, the timeline of calls and emails, documents, and the next step with a date on it, from first call through consult, intervention, placement and aftercare. FOLLOW UP Every case and partner gets a follow-up rhythm. Tap Follow up for a ready draft to text, email or call, sent from your own Messages or Mail. Optional AI drafts run on your own Anthropic account. REFERRALS AND HANDOFFS Track referrals sent and received. Send a program a private handoff link: they mark each step, from received to consult scheduled, and your reminder moves with them. DIRECTORY A shared, reviewed directory of treatment programs and professionals, open to every workspace. Submit a listing from your own partner list; nothing about your practice or your clients is shared. TEAM Invite colleagues into your workspace so everyone works from the same plan. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your workspace belongs to your practice alone. Other practices using ReferralFit cannot see your partners, cases or notes. Lock the app with Face ID, and a cover keeps your cases out of the app switcher. Data syncs over an encrypted connection. FOR PROFESSIONALS ReferralFit is free for intervention practices, treatment-placement specialists and family coaches. Create your practice's account in the app. It is not a crisis service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911; for a mental-health crisis, call or text 988.

The dashboard allows authors of scientific articles to track the review progress of submitted manuscripts, receive notifications about changes in the review status, see which stages of the review process have already been completed and which are still pending, check comments of editors and peer reviews, as well as view the complete list of editorial messages and notifications. A reviewer acts both as an author and as a reviewer. In addition to the author functionality, reviewers can view the list of articles available for peer review and take articles into review. A statistics section is also available, where reviewers can view information about their work for the current month, the previous month, and the entire period.

Verdict
ReferralFit and Author dashboard are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
