How it pays back

Capture After-Hours Opportunities

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI answer questions about office hours, location, and billing?

Yes. The AI has access to your practice information and can answer FAQs, provide directions, explain billing policies, and direct patients to resources without requiring staff involvement.

How does the AI know which provider is on-call?

During setup, you define on-call schedules and backup protocols in AdvancedMD. The AI reads this data and routes urgent calls to the correct on-call provider or answering service.

What if a patient needs help but it's not urgent—do they talk to the AI or a person?

Routine calls are handled entirely by AI (appointment changes, billing questions, office information). If the AI detects a clinical concern or the patient asks to speak with someone, it can escalate to on-call staff or create a high-priority callback.

Are after-hours bookings held or do they go into the appointment schedule immediately?

Bookings go into AdvancedMD immediately. The patient receives a confirmation and the appointment appears on the provider's calendar, so there's no risk of double-booking or dropped confirmations.

How do I review what happened during the night shift?

A dashboard and email summary report all overnight activity—calls received, appointments booked, urgent cases escalated, and caller feedback. Detailed call transcripts are available in AdvancedMD for review or training.
