Workflow

Book injection appointments on the call: no callback, no scheduler queue

Interventional pain clinics book new patient and follow-up injection appointments directly into the EMR during the AI's intake call, eliminating the scheduling coordinator bottleneck.

How it pays back

Appointment booked before call ends

Caller hangs up with a confirmed date, time, and SMS reminder. No 'we'll call you back' delay or lost-to-follow-up risk.

EMR stays current in real time

Each booked appointment and new patient record hits your EMR immediately. No manual data entry or overnight sync lag.

Scheduler moves to higher-value work

Your scheduling coordinator stops fielding booking calls and instead focuses on pre-auth, insurance verification, and patient outreach.

Reduced no-show risk

Instant SMS confirmation and reminder reduce call-backs and missed appointments because the caller commits in real time.

Appointment written to EMR in real time

No manual data entry, no next-day sync

New patient record auto-created with demographics

Intake summary returned for staff review and filing

SMS confirmation sent live

Patient has appointment detail and reminder before hang-up

Named EMR integrations

ModMed, Nextech, AdvancedMD, Tebra, Kareo, and others

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which injection slots are open?

The AI connects to your EMR's real-time availability. It checks open dates and times for the injection type the caller requests (lumbar, cervical, knee, etc.) and offers options during the call.

What if the patient wants to change their injection type or date after booking?

The AI can modify or cancel the appointment and rebook immediately during the call, or your staff can update it in the EMR afterward. The caller always has the final confirmed details before hang-up.

How are insurance details handled?

Insurance information is captured during the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and verify. Pre-auth typically requires your team to contact the insurance carrier, which happens after the call.

Can the AI book follow-up injections at the end of the first appointment call?

Yes. If a patient calls to schedule a follow-up (e.g., 2-week post-injection), the AI can book it directly into the EMR on that call. Your clinical team confirms the interval at the injection visit.

What happens if all slots for a requested date are full?

The AI offers the next available date and time, or can note the patient as waitlisted for a cancellation backfill. Your staff is notified and can follow up if a slot opens.
