Patient Intake

Capture new patient information on every 8x8 call

Use an AI receptionist on your 8x8 line to collect health history, insurance, and scheduling preferences from new callers in real time.

How it pays back

Faster New Patient Setup

By the time a new patient hangs up, their demographic record exists in your EMR with name, DOB, phone, and insurance information. Staff spend minutes, not hours, completing the chart.

Consistent Intake on Every New Call

The AI receptionist asks the same questions, in the same order, for every caller. No missed fields, no inconsistent data entry—every new patient record is complete and structured.

Insurance and Health Info Captured, Not Lost

Caller insurance details, pharmacy, emergency contact, and medication list are returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file. Nothing is forgotten in a voicemail.

First Visit Starts On Time

Your clinical staff review the intake summary before the patient arrives, so the visit can begin immediately—no waiting for intake paperwork or chart review.

Frequently asked questions

Does insurance information flow automatically into my EMR?

Insurance carrier, group, and member ID are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff. They review and file it into the chart. This lets you verify coverage before the appointment and flag billing issues early.

What if the caller doesn't have insurance?

The AI receptionist notes self-pay status and captures any payment information or financial assistance requests the caller offers. That detail appears in the intake summary for your staff to process.

Can the AI ask about allergies and medications?

Yes. The receptionist asks standard health questions during intake (allergies, current medications, reason for visit, medical history) and returns the answers as a structured summary. Your clinical staff review and enter these into the official chart.

What if a new patient doesn't finish the intake call?

The call is recorded and transcribed. Your staff can see what was collected, what was missed, and follow up via phone or email to complete the record before the appointment.
