What an AI receptionist does for your clinic—from call answering to appointment booking

Learn how AI reception handles inbound calls, captures patient information, and routes urgent cases for clinics of any size—without voicemail or staff interruption.

How it pays back

No Call Goes Unanswered

Clinic phone lines are answered immediately, 24/7. No voicemail, no missed opportunities to convert a caller into a scheduled patient.

Appointment Data and Demographics Write to Your EMR

New patient records and appointment bookings write directly to your EHR. Your front desk never re-enters appointment or demographic information. Clinical details captured on the call are returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your staff to review and file.

Staff Time Redirected to Patient Care

Your team stops answering the phone and manages callbacks and follow-ups on their own schedule. Clinicians spend more time in the exam room, less time on the phone.

Urgent Calls Detected and Escalated

Chest pain, severe allergic reaction, mental health crisis—the AI recognizes red-flag language and immediately alerts staff or transfers to 911, ensuring patient safety.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI receptionist integrate with our EMR?

Yes. The system integrates with named EHRs and practice management platforms including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. Appointments and new patient demographics write directly to your EMR. Clinical information captured on the call is returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file.

What if a patient asks a clinical question?

The AI is trained to listen, acknowledge the concern, and escalate to a clinician or staff member. It does not attempt diagnosis. Complex or urgent clinical questions are flagged and transferred immediately.

Can the AI handle multiple languages?

Yes. Many clinics configure the system to greet callers in English and Spanish, or other languages. The AI adapts the conversation to the caller's language preference.

What happens during after-hours?

The AI continues to answer calls and take messages. You can configure it to offer an urgent callback option, provide an on-call provider's number, or direct callers to urgent care if appropriate. All after-hours interactions are logged and summaries sent to your team.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is based on call volume and the depth of EMR integration. Most clinics start with a small team and scale as they learn the system. Visit our pricing page for a custom quote.
