Where New Patient Calls Break Down

  • High-call volume during peak hours with limited staff
  • Complex intake questions that slow down every conversation
  • Difficulty matching insurance, provider, and location rules
  • No single source of truth for referral details

AI Intake + Scheduling Flow

Every call follows the same verified process:

  • Identifies whether the caller is new or existing
  • Collects symptoms, referral source, and insurance in natural language
  • Checks provider templates, visit types, and prep rules before booking
  • Issues confirmation plus intake packets instantly

Compliance + Escalation

Katie AI logs every call interaction while keeping PHI protected.

  • Voice transcripts stored securely inside MedReception, HIPAA compliant and verified by Compliancy Group
  • Configurable verification scripts for insurance and ID
  • Bilingual support with escalation to staff at any step
