Workflow

Collect insurance information and prior authorization requirements during the booking call, then hand off clean data to your authorization team

AI-powered call intake for migraine practices gathers insurance details and identifies prior auth requirements during appointment booking, reducing delays and enabling your staff to begin authorization pre-visit.

How it pays back

Proactive authorization

Your authorization team can begin prior auth requests before the appointment, not after. Approvals arrive in time to discuss treatment options at the visit.

No insurance surprises at checkout

Copays and deductibles are known upfront; patients aren't blindsided by unexpected out-of-pocket costs.

Faster treatment initiation

When a patient needs Botox, CGRP, or a new preventive at their visit, authorization is already underway or approved, reducing post-visit delays.

Cleaner handoff to staff

Insurance data is pre-captured and pre-organized, eliminating duplicate entry or phone tag with patients after the visit.

Insurance captured on call

Carrier, member ID, group, and copay collected conversationally during booking

Prior auth flags identified

Common migraine treatments flagged for likely authorization need; historical step-therapy noted

Structured handoff to staff

Insurance and auth summary returned as a cleanly formatted note for your authorization team

Appointment linked

Insurance status tied to appointment record so clinical staff see auth readiness before the visit

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI write insurance information directly into our EMR?

No. The AI captures insurance details during the call and returns them as a structured summary. Your staff reviews the summary, verifies accuracy, and enters the insurance information into your EMR according to your workflow and privacy protocols.

What if the patient doesn't have their insurance card on hand?

The AI can note that the card details are unavailable, ask for what the patient remembers (carrier name, member ID if known), and flag for your staff to call back or request the card be brought at check-in.

Can the AI check insurance eligibility in real time?

MedReception can integrate with insurance verification services if you choose. This allows real-time eligibility checks during the call. Otherwise, the AI captures data for your staff to verify via your existing insurance portal.

How does this work for patients on Medicaid or state plans?

The AI handles all insurance types: commercial, Medicaid, Medicare, and self-pay. For state plans, the same capture workflow applies; your authorization team uses your existing state plan portal to verify and request prior auth.

Does this reduce prior auth denials?

By starting prior auth before the visit, your team has more time to address plan requirements, gather additional information if needed, and appeal denials before the patient is ready to begin treatment.
