AI receptionist books new patient appointments from inbound calls, captures demographics, and routes intake data to your Canadian EMR

New patient intake calls are labour-intensive in Canadian practices—phone screening, eligibility checks, form collection, EMR entry. AI handles the entire call and returns structured intake summaries for staff review.

How it pays back

New Patient Records Pre-Built

Demographics (name, DOB, phone, address) write directly to your EMR. Staff receives structured intake summary for review—no manual re-entry of basic info.

Intake Screening Completed Before Arrival

Chief complaint, allergies, and medication history are captured on the call and formatted for staff review. First appointment starts with a complete picture, not another round of questions.

Instant Confirmation & Engagement

Patient receives appointment confirmation, location, parking, and pre-visit instructions via SMS or email immediately after booking. Shows up informed and reduces no-shows.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI auto-populate insurance and clinical information into the EMR?

No. Demographics (name, DOB, phone, address) and appointment bookings write directly to your EMR. Insurance details and clinical notes are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for staff to review and file—this ensures accuracy and compliance.

What if a new patient doesn't have Canadian health coverage information?

The AI captures what's available and flags the record for staff follow-up. This lets you process the appointment while billing resolves coverage.

Can the AI book appointments for multi-provider practices?

Yes. The AI sees your full schedule across all providers and books based on availability, patient preferences, and your routing rules (e.g., new patients with Dr. Singh, pediatrics with availability today).

Does the system capture allergy and medication information?

Yes. The AI asks screening questions for allergies, current medications, and past medical history. This information is returned as a structured summary for your clinical staff to review and file in the chart before the first appointment.

How do we handle no-shows for new patient bookings?

The AI sends appointment reminders 24 and 2 hours before the visit via SMS or email. You can also configure automated rebooking for no-shows.
