Coverage
Pain patients call nights and weekends with post-procedure complications, acute flare-ups, and medication questions. An AI receptionist answers immediately, triages urgency, and escalates true emergencies to your on-call provider—eliminating voicemail delays.
When the AI escalates a call, the on-call provider receives the full patient history, pain details, recent procedures, and current medications. They don't waste time re-asking questions while a patient is in pain.
Post-procedure bleeding, infection signs, and acute neurological symptoms route to the provider immediately. Routine questions (refill status, appointment time) are logged for morning triage, not escalated at 2 AM.
A human phone line is always open. Patients never hear 'call back during business hours.' Instead, they get immediate triage, clear guidance, and escalation if needed.
Non-urgent after-hours calls are logged with full details. Your team wakes up to a prioritized callback list, not a pile of angry voicemails.

The AI is trained to escalate: severe pain unrelieved by medication, post-procedure bleeding or drainage, signs of infection (fever, increasing swelling), neurological changes, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. The AI describes symptoms to the on-call provider, who decides if the patient needs the ED or can be managed at home.
The system sends an immediate text or call alert with the patient's name, pain summary, and urgency level. The provider can review the full call transcript in the secure portal and call the patient directly. If they don't respond within the configured time, an escalation alert is sent.
The AI is trained to recognize life-threatening symptoms (severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, uncontrolled bleeding) and advise the patient to call 911 or go to the ER immediately. The on-call provider is alerted simultaneously so they can follow up once the patient has been evaluated.
If a patient calls after hours requesting a refill of a chronic pain medication, the AI logs the request with dosage, frequency, and indication. The call is marked non-urgent, logged for the team's review, and the pharmacy team is notified in the morning. The patient is told the pharmacy will call back during business hours.
Yes. If a patient prefers, they can ask to wait for an on-call provider callback. The AI logs their request, escalates the call to the on-call team, and the provider calls back as soon as available. The AI never forces a patient to continue the call.
