Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know what appointment slots to offer?

The AI connects to your AdvancedMD provider schedules in real time. It checks availability for the appointment type requested, considers provider preferences and buffer times, and offers the next available slots to the caller. Once selected, the appointment is locked in AdvancedMD immediately.

Can patients reschedule or cancel appointments booked by AI?

Yes. Patients can call back and the AI can reschedule or cancel existing appointments. Changes are reflected in AdvancedMD instantly. Alternatively, patients can use a patient portal or SMS link to manage their own appointments if enabled.

What appointment reminder messages are sent?

The AI can send customized SMS and email reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before appointments. Reminders include appointment time, location, parking info, and any pre-visit instructions. Patients can confirm or request rescheduling via the reminder link.

How are new patient intakes handled during booking?

The AI asks structured intake questions during the booking conversation: medical history, current medications, allergies, insurance, and chief complaint. Responses are formatted and automatically populated into the new patient chart in AdvancedMD, ready for clinician review.

What if a requested appointment type is fully booked?

The AI offers the next available time slot or suggests alternative providers if multi-provider scheduling is enabled. It can also offer a waitlist option; if a cancellation occurs, patients are contacted to fill the opening.

Does the AI handle insurance verification at booking time?

During the booking call, the AI can capture insurance information. This data is documented in AdvancedMD for staff follow-up and verification, ensuring complete patient records before arrival.
