Patient Intake

Capture chief complaint, medical history, and medications on the call—returned as a staff-ready summary

When a new patient calls on your CallSara line, the AI captures chief complaint, relevant medical history, current medications, allergies, and insurance information during the call. This data is returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file into the chart.

How it pays back

New Patient Chart Pre-Populated with Context

Your clinical staff no longer starts from a blank chart on appointment day. The AI has already captured the patient's reason for visit, relevant history, current medications, and allergies. Staff review the summary, verify accuracy, and file it—saving time on new patient check-in.

Insurance Information Captured for Verification

The AI confirms insurance coverage, member ID, and group number during the intake call. Your billing team receives this information before the patient arrives, so they can verify coverage and prepare for check-in.

Allergies and Medications Flagged Upfront

Critical safety information (drug allergies, current meds, drug interactions) is documented and waiting for staff review before the patient walks into your office. Clinical staff can verify high-risk interactions before prescribing.

Staff Keeps Human Oversight of Clinical Data

The AI captures and structures the information, but your team reviews, verifies, and files it into the official record. This maintains quality control, accuracy, and full HIPAA accountability.

Frequently asked questions

What information does the AI capture during intake?

Chief complaint, duration of symptoms, relevant medical history, current medications, allergies (including drug allergies), insurance plan name and member ID, emergency contact, and any other information you configure. The AI follows a template tailored to your specialty.

Can the AI understand complex medical histories?

Yes. The AI is trained to parse detailed histories—past surgeries, chronic conditions, prior treatments, family history—and structure them into a readable summary. If something is unclear, the AI flags it for staff verification.

Does the insurance information go directly to the EMR?

Insurance details (plan name, member ID, group number) are captured on the call and returned in the structured summary for your billing team to review and enter into your insurance system. This ensures accuracy before any claims are filed.

How do I know the AI didn't miss anything important?

The AI returns a complete structured summary that your staff reviews before the appointment. Staff can add notes, clarify details, or reach out to the patient if something is missing or unclear. You have full control over chart accuracy.

Does this work for established patients calling with a new issue?

Yes. For established patients, the AI retrieves existing demographics and medication list from your EMR, then captures the chief complaint and reason for today's visit. The summary is updated and flagged for staff review.

What if the patient doesn't speak English?

The AI supports multilingual intake in many languages. If your practice serves Spanish, Mandarin, or other patient populations, intake can be conducted in the patient's preferred language and returned as a structured English summary for your staff.
