Scheduling Efficiency

AI receptionist fills concierge practice slots by handling all booking calls

Concierge practices operate with limited capacity. The AI handles every booking call, self-schedules appointments when possible, and flags conflicts or urgent requests for your scheduler—maximizing your chair time without adding administrative staff.

How it pays back

No Booking Calls Go to Voicemail

Members calling to book routine visits are scheduled instantly. Callbacks and missed-call follow-up become unnecessary. Every booking attempt becomes a booked appointment.

Your Scheduler Handles Only Complexity

Routine member calling for checkup, follow-up, or preventive visit? Booked by AI. Urgent request, special accommodation, or member requesting specific provider? Routed to your scheduler, who focuses on relationship and exceptions.

Chair Time Stays Full

Concierge practices survive on utilization. The AI removes administrative friction—no phone tag, no missed bookings, no wasted open slots. Your provider's schedule stays full.

Members Don't Wait on Hold

Members don't queue or listen to hold music. Booking happens in 60-90 seconds. This experience reinforces that their membership has value.

Booking calls answered instantly

No queue, no hold, no voicemail

Routine appointments self-booked

Checkup, follow-up, preventive visit booked without staff touch

Chief complaint captured pre-visit

Provider knows why member is calling before they walk in the door

Urgent requests routed to scheduler

Complex needs or high-touch members get staff attention

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI book appointments directly into your schedule?

Yes. The AI integrates with your EMR (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, ModMed) and checks real-time availability. When a member calls, the AI offers available slots for the appointment type they request.

What types of appointments can the AI book?

Any that you define: routine checkup (60 min), follow-up (30 min), preventive visit (90 min), etc. You set the appointment types, duration, and frequency rules, and the AI follows them.

What if no slots are available?

The AI offers: 'I don't have an opening with Dr. [Name] this week. Would you like to be added to the cancellation list, or should I schedule you for [next available date]?' Members choose, and the booking is made.

Does the AI ask about the reason for the visit?

Yes. The AI asks 'What will you be seeing Dr. [Name] for today?' Chief complaint is captured and presented as a structured summary for your provider to review before the visit.

Can members request a specific provider?

Yes, if you allow it. You define whether members can choose provider, or whether they're assigned to the next available. The AI enforces your rules.

What if the member needs an urgent same-day appointment?

The AI escalates urgent requests to your scheduler or provider. Urgent flag (chest pain, severe symptoms) goes to the top of the queue. Non-urgent same-day requests are offered the next available slot or a callback option.
