Streamline referral intake and urgent callbacks for migraine specialist practices

Capture referred patient details, insurance questions, and prior auth status during initial calls. Return structured intake to your staff, and handle urgent patient callbacks automatically without tying up your clinic lines.

How it pays back

Referral Calls Handled Instantly

PCPs and urgent care clinics send referrals. Instead of your staff manually collecting details, the AI gathers referral source, insurance, and symptom history during the call. Your staff focuses on clinical assessment, not data entry.

Insurance Questions Don't Slow Appointments

Patients ask about coverage, copays, and prior auth status during intake. The AI captures these questions and routes them to your insurance coordinator while booking the appointment. No voicemail, no callback delays.

Existing Patients Get Callback Without Hold Time

A patient calls with a migraine crisis. Instead of waiting on hold, the AI takes the call, captures the situation, and routes to on-call staff. Patient gets a response, not a queue.

Referral Accuracy Improves Chart Quality

Structured referral data (source, PCP name, prior treatments, insurance) is returned for your staff to validate and file. Fewer missing details, faster chart completion, and less time spent calling patients back for missing info.

Frequently asked questions

How do you handle insurance verification for migraine specialists?

During the intake call, the AI asks about insurance provider, plan type, and whether the patient knows their copay or deductible. These questions are captured and flagged for your insurance team. Your staff follows up with verification while the appointment is already booked.

What if a referred patient needs prior authorization before their visit?

The AI captures the referral and appointment request, but makes clear that prior auth may be required. Your insurance coordinator is alerted and can reach out to the PCP's office or insurance company. Patient is informed of any delays during the intake call.

Can the system handle callbacks from patients who already have an appointment?

Yes. An established patient calls with a migraine flare-up. The AI recognizes the phone number, pulls their appointment from your EMR, and either offers to move their visit up, connects them to the on-call provider, or advises them to go to urgent care if it's severe. No voicemail, no callback delay.

Does the referral source get documented in the chart?

Yes. The referral source (PCP name, clinic, insurance) is captured during the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to file in the chart. Your clinical documentation remains complete and audit-ready.
