Implementation

Implement an AI Office Assistant: Cost, Timeline, and Integration Approach

Understand the realistic costs, implementation timeline, and integration steps for deploying an AI office assistant in your medical practice without disrupting current operations.

How it pays back

Fast Go-Live Without Disruption

Your practice continues operating normally during setup. The AI takes over answering duties gradually so staff can adjust workflows without pressure. There's no outage window or risk of lost calls.

Transparent Cost Model

Pricing scales with usage—you only pay for what you use. No hidden setup fees, per-provider costs, or minimum commitments. You see exactly what you're paying and why.

EHR Integration Without Custom Development

Most practices connect in hours using standard connectors. Your data flows bidirectionally automatically. If custom work is needed, implementation partners handle it so your IT team isn't burdened.

Immediate Staff Onboarding

Your team doesn't need advanced training. You review a few settings, practice one warm handoff, and the AI is live. Ongoing support is always available—no learning curve surprises.

Days to launch, not months

Standard implementation completes in a week; integration done in hours

Frequently asked questions

How long does implementation typically take?

Standard deployment is 3–7 days from contract to live. This includes EHR connection testing, phone routing setup, staff training, and a supervised pilot period. Urgent practices can go live in 24 hours with a dedicated implementation team.

Will we have downtime during the transition?

No. Your existing phone system and staff workflows continue unchanged. The AI is layered on top—answering calls and handing off to staff. You can pilot with one line or location before full rollout.

What's the typical cost for a small medical practice?

We don't publish standard pricing because every practice is unique. Cost depends on call volume, call duration, and features used. Request a custom quote to see your exact investment.

How does integration with our EHR work?

Most practices use a pre-built connector. We support athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. You give the AI read/write permission to your EHR; we test the connection; data syncs automatically. For other systems, a custom API integration can be built by our team or a partner.

Can we start with a pilot and expand later?

Yes. Many practices pilot with one provider or location first. Once your team is comfortable and call patterns stabilize, you expand to other providers or locations. Scaling up requires no additional implementation—it's just a configuration change.
