Patient Intake

Capture patient intake forms during inbound calls without paper or manual data entry

AI receptionists conduct structured phone intake on every inbound call, capturing insurance, demographics, chief complaint, and medical history as a handoff summary for your staff to review and file.

How it pays back

Staff never chase missing forms

Every caller provides intake data during the call. Your staff receives a structured summary, reviews it, and files it—no follow-up emails or phone tag needed.

New patient data reaches the chart faster

Patient name, date of birth, phone, and appointment details are written to your EMR. Staff reviews the insurance and clinical summary and files it—nothing is lost in handoff.

Insurance verification happens before the visit

Capture insurance details on the call. Your staff has the information in hand to verify coverage before the appointment, reducing payment surprises.

On-call providers get context immediately

After-hours callers are asked about their chief complaint and urgency. The AI escalates critical cases and returns a triage summary so on-call staff knows what they're walking into.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI intake form get automatically added to the patient chart?

New patient demographics, date of birth, phone, and appointment details are written to your EMR. Insurance information, medical history, symptoms, and questionnaire responses are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file into the chart. This ensures accuracy and compliance with your documentation standards.

What if a caller refuses to provide insurance information on the phone?

The AI asks but does not force. If the caller declines, the AI notes that in the summary and your staff can reach out before the visit or collect it at check-in. Either way, you have a record of the ask.

Can the AI ask custom intake questions for my specialty?

Yes. The AI can be configured to ask allergy questions, medication lists, symptom checklists, HIPAA acknowledgment, or any structured questions your practice requires. Contact the team to customize your intake flow.

Does this work for existing patients or only new patients?

Both. Existing patients may be asked updated questions (new medications, changes in chief complaint). New patients receive the full intake. The AI routes to appointment booking or provider callback based on patient status.

How is patient privacy protected during phone intake?

All calls are HIPAA-encrypted end-to-end. Insurance and medical details are captured on a secure call and returned in a staff-only portal. No data is stored outside the HIPAA-compliant MedReception and integrated EMR environment.
