Frequently asked questions

Won't collecting intake during scheduling make the call too long?

Not at all. The AI follows a conversational flow that feels natural—scheduling and intake questions blend together. Most calls complete in 5–8 minutes, faster than the typical new-patient form process.

What if a new patient doesn't answer the phone initially?

The AI leaves a structured voicemail, often capturing their callback number. When they call back or you reach them later, the AI captures intake then. Appointment and intake happen in the same call, whenever that occurs.

Can I customize which intake questions are asked for new patients?

Yes. Intake templates are configurable by specialty and visit type—urgent vs. routine, new vs. established, etc. You control the scope and sequence of questions.

What if a new patient has allergies or critical medical history?

Critical flags (allergies, medications, recent surgeries) are highlighted in the structured summary. Your team can proactively notify the provider and modify the schedule if needed.
