Frequently asked questions

Can patients book appointments over the phone without talking to a person?

Yes. The AI receptionist asks a few questions, checks availability in AdvancedMD, and completes the booking while the patient is on the call. If they prefer to speak with staff, the call can be transferred instantly.

What if a patient wants to reschedule or cancel?

The AI can handle rescheduling and cancellations for existing appointments. It updates the AdvancedMD calendar in real time and notifies the patient. Complex changes or policy questions are escalated to your staff.

How does the AI know which appointment types to offer?

You set up AI response rules based on your AdvancedMD appointment types, visit reasons, and provider schedules. The AI pulls available slots for the relevant appointment type and provider.

Will this work during my office hours too?

Yes. You can configure AI to handle after-hours calls only, or run it 24/7 with on-call staff reviewing and approving bookings. Many practices use it to absorb overflow during busy periods.

Do I need to retrain my staff?

Minimal training is required. Staff focus on reviewing AI decisions, handling exceptions, and managing high-touch patient interactions. Your workflows stay largely the same; AI simply removes the routine booking load.
