Route migraine calls to the right provider and location based on specialty, availability, and urgency

Multi-location migraine practices receive calls meant for preventive specialists, acute care, or Botox/neuromodulator clinics. AI reception understands the caller's need, routes to the appropriate location or provider, and books the right appointment—so calls don't get lost between sites and patients reach their specialist on first contact.

How it pays back

Acute migraine patient doesn't reach a scheduling-only line

A status migrainosus patient calls the satellite clinic. The AI recognizes acute severity, checks availability across your network, and routes to the on-call provider or your urgent care location in real time. Patient gets help, not 'please call back Monday.'

Botox and neuromodulator calls go to the right clinic

Established patient calls to schedule Botox. The AI confirms it's a Botox refill (not a new intake) and routes to your neuromodulator clinic or the specific provider who does injections, bypassing the general intake line and saving time.

New patients are routed to their best-fit provider

New caller with chronic daily migraines and failed triptans is routed to your preventive specialist. Another caller with rare episodic migraines is routed to your general migraine clinic. Smart routing means better first visit experience and fewer transfers.

Unified call history across locations

Every call is logged in one central system. Your main clinic and satellite locations see the same call history, so when a patient calls a second location, your team knows about the first call and no information is lost or repeated.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which location to route an acute migraine call to?

You define your routing rules: e.g., acute calls to the urgent clinic location, preventive consultations to the main office, Botox bookings to the neuromodulator clinic. The AI asks about the patient's need, checks availability across sites, and routes accordingly. Urgent cases bypass the queue and alert the on-call provider immediately.

What if a patient established care at Location A but calls Location B?

The AI recognizes the patient by phone number or name, sees their history at Location A, and can route appropriately or ask if they prefer their original provider. The call is logged across the network so both locations see the patient's full interaction history.

Can the patient be transferred to a different location if their provider is unavailable?

Yes. If the patient's usual provider is booked, the AI can offer an appointment with another provider at the same or different location, or escalate to the on-call provider if urgent. The patient is transferred with full context.

Does appointment availability sync across all locations in real time?

Yes. The AI checks all locations' schedules and offers the best available slot across your network. When the patient books, the appointment is created at the selected location and synced to that clinic's EMR.

How are urgent calls escalated in a multi-location network?

You configure an escalation chain: e.g., page the on-call provider at the urgent location, then the main office on-call if no response, then the medical director. The AI alerts in sequence and logs the escalation path and response time.
