Frequently asked questions

How does the AI ensure appointments aren't double-booked?

The AI connects directly to your EHR's availability API. When a patient books, the slot is locked immediately in the system. Concurrent calls or manual staff scheduling are coordinated in real time, preventing conflicts.

Can the AI handle specialty or provider-specific appointment types?

Yes. You define appointment categories (consultation, follow-up, procedure, urgent) and assign them to providers or clinical teams. The AI matches patient needs to appropriate slot types and availability.

What if a patient wants to reschedule or cancel?

The AI processes rescheduling requests immediately, updates the EHR, and notifies the practice. Cancellations are logged and can trigger waitlist callbacks if another patient needs that slot.

How are waitlist patients managed?

When a cancellation or new opening occurs, the AI calls or texts waiting patients and offers available slots. First-to-accept gets the appointment, preventing manual waitlist inefficiency.

Does the AI verify insurance and pre-registration during booking?

Yes. The system can collect insurance information and prompt patients to complete intake forms before the appointment—reducing administrative delays on the day of visit.
