Working in healthcare is hard… Let’s make it easier.

Sound familiar?

Feeling intimidated when reading a Medicare document or speaking with your boss about reimbursement?

Stumbling through how to respond when patients ask, “Will my insurance cover this?”

Feeling undervalued for the job and service you provide as an OT practitioner?

Being told to pick up patients to meet a quota or improve productivity?

If yes… it’s time to try something different.

Sure, you could keep feeling pushed around, frustrated, fearful, and maybe a little burnt out…

Or… you could become the hero of your own story and become an confident and informed OT AMPLIFIER!

Hi! 👋 I’m Clarice.

An occupational therapist, healthcare policy enthusiast, and OT advocate. I founded Amplify OT to help you navigate and thrive in our US healthcare system!

You can love your job as an OT practitioner, be ethical, AND successful. Here’s how…

Client Testimonials

What our clients have to say

Clarice Grote is an insightful, engaging, and approachable presenter. We were honored to have her present to our graduate occupational therapy students.

Clarice is one of the most inspiring and forward-thinking OTs I've ever known. She has such a passion for moving the profession forward, and she harnesses it through producing exceptional content. I always know whatever Clarice creates will be interesting and professionally relevant.

Amplify OT gives me a better understanding of what drives therapy in various settings and how to manage your skills and interventions in a manner that supports the practice of OT.

Clarice was just the right person to come to with my jumble of ideas about expanding professional education in healthcare policy/advocacy. ...Clarice helped me differentiate achievable goals to pursue, guided me with specific tips for presenting to each of my target audiences, and shared so many resources. I'm feeling excited and prepared to tackle my new plans thanks to her!

This [Q&A] was so great. I could have listened/ talked to her forever!

Amplify OT keeps you in the know of what's happening on the legislative level. Every OT needs to follow!

I love that [Clarice] is straight to the point and an advocate for quality care and for practitioners to take responsibility of understanding payment systems

You learn to advocate for the profession and also WHY you need to advocate. [Amplify OT] makes it easy to be involved and in the know.

Clarice is incredibly knowledgeable about reimbursement for OT services and stays current with any changes that occur. Her [Amplify OT Membership] course is a valuable addition to my current curriculum.

I am an occupational therapy student and although this information was briefly covered in coursework, I did not feel like I fully understood reimbursement and all that advocacy entails. This [Amplify OT Membership] course gave me a good understanding of how policy and practice collide. I also feel more confident in my ability to locate information which will be such a useful skill when I start practicing!

I have been an OT for about 15 years and throughout those years, I have learned a general knowledge about how different insurances operate and provide reimbursement for OT services. Recently, I have taken on more of a leadership role within my setting in which I work more closely with other disciplines for reimbursement purposes. This [Amplify OT Membership] course has helped me to understand health insurance and billing on a deeper level.

I signed up for this [Amplify OT Membership] course to get a handle on how billing worked in a variety of OT settings. I learned that in this course and more. The course had weekly videos that were very informative. There were handouts that went along with the videos which is something tangible to have for the future!

Clarice has helped me many times understand policies and keeping me up to date with things that impact our profession. And as a business owner, this is so important. I’d recommend everyone take this course, you won’t regret it! Even if you have not graduated yet, this will definitely give you a leg up in your future career.
