Frequently asked questions

How does AI Annie get all the intake data in one call?

AI Annie asks naturally sequenced questions: reason for visit, medical history, allergies, current meds, insurance. She converses like a receptionist would, not reading from a rigid form. Most calls take 3–5 minutes and cover everything you need.

What if the caller doesn't have their insurance card handy?

AI Annie captures what the caller knows (insurance name, member ID if available) and flags it in the summary for your team to verify. Your billing staff can follow up or the patient can provide it at check-in.

Do I still need the paper intake form at check-in?

You can skip the paper form entirely. Your staff has the AI-captured summary in the chart before the patient arrives. Check-in is a quick verification and signature, not a data-collection session.

What happens if the patient withholds information?

AI Annie documents what was shared and what wasn't. Your team can follow up during check-in or the provider can ask during the visit. No pressure, no force—the summary simply shows what was gathered.

Is the intake summary HIPAA-compliant?

Yes. Data is captured on a HIPAA-secure line, never emailed or left on voicemail. The summary is stored securely within MedReception and your EHR integration, and your staff accesses it via normal chart login.
