Frequently asked questions

How does the AI receptionist handle crisis or high-risk calls?

Crisis calls, expressions of suicidal or self-harm intent, and other urgent clinical situations are detected and immediately escalated to your clinical staff or on-call provider. The system prioritizes these calls above all others and ensures direct human contact.

Can the AI receptionist schedule medication-assisted treatment appointments?

Yes. The system can confirm appointment availability, capture patient preferences, and book MAT visits into your calendar. Follow-up and reminder calls are also automated, reducing no-shows and keeping patients engaged in their treatment plan.

What patient information does the AI receptionist capture?

The system captures name, date of birth, phone number, insurance information, and screening questions relevant to your intake workflow. This structured summary is returned to your staff for review and filing in the patient record. Insurance details and consent forms are handled by your staff.

Does the AI receptionist work with substance use disorder-focused EHRs?

Yes. The system works alongside major EHRs including eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, and Office Ally. Appointment bookings and patient demographics write to your EMR; structured clinical summaries are returned as a summary for your staff to review and document.

Can the AI handle calls outside business hours?

Yes. The system answers after-hours, weekend, and holiday calls. Urgent situations are routed to your on-call provider or crisis line. Non-urgent calls are captured and scheduled for follow-up during business hours.

Is the AI receptionist compliant with addiction medicine privacy regulations?

Yes. The system is HIPAA-aligned and includes a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). It handles 42 CFR Part 2 (substance use treatment records) with the same care as all other protected health information, and your staff retains full control over clinical documentation and patient records.
