Workflow

Book colonoscopies, flexible sigmoidoscopies, and surgical cases 24/7 without front desk bottlenecks

Let patients and referrers book colorectal procedures anytime — nights, weekends, holidays — while the AI captures procedure details, insurance information, and appointment confirmations sync to your OR schedule.

How it pays back

Eliminate scheduling delays

A patient calling at 6 PM on Friday gets an appointment booked and confirmed instantly. Your OR schedule is updated in real time. Monday morning, your staff sees a pre-populated schedule with all appointment details and insurance data ready for review.

Capture referrals without bouncing calls

Gastroenterologists, primary care, and urgent care refer to you 24/7. The AI answers, captures the patient info, confirms surgeon availability, and schedules. Your referral volume is no longer limited by front desk hours.

Insurance information captured before admission

By the time your pre-op nurse meets the patient, insurance information and prior auth details are already captured and ready for your team to review. Your billing staff can verify eligibility before the procedure.

Predictable OR utilization

Your surgical schedule is booked evenly throughout the week because the AI fills available slots immediately, not days later when a human caller finally reaches a patient.

Every call answered, every referral captured

Day or night, incoming calls are answered and routed immediately. No referral voicemails.

Appointments synced in real time

When an appointment is confirmed, it flows to your EMR and OR schedule simultaneously.

Insurance data structured and ready

Member ID, group number, and verification details are captured and returned for your billing team's review.

Double-bookings eliminated

The AI checks real-time OR availability against your EMR; no two surgeries are assigned the same slot.

Frequently asked questions

Can patients book appointments at midnight on a Sunday?

Yes. The AI answers and books available slots anytime. If all your surgical time is full, the AI offers the next available date or presents a cancellation waitlist option. Your staff sees the booking in your EMR and surgery schedule the next morning.

How does this work for referral calls from other offices?

When a PCP or gastroenterologist calls to refer a patient, the AI greets them, captures the patient's name and procedure details, confirms which surgeon and procedure type, checks your OR availability, and schedules. The referral data is timestamped and available for your staff to review.

Does the AI verify insurance?

The AI captures insurance information — member ID, group number, date of birth — and returns this as structured data for your billing team or pre-op staff to review and verify with the insurance carrier.

What if an appointment needs to be cancelled or rescheduled?

If a patient calls to cancel or reschedule, the AI updates your EMR in real time, opens that OR slot for re-booking, and documents the change. Your staff is alerted if the cancellation affects pre-op prep or staff schedules.

How does this integrate with our EMR?

When a patient confirms an appointment via the AI, the booking is written directly to your EMR. Patient demographics (name, DOB, phone), procedure type, surgeon, and appointment time sync immediately. Your staff can see the pre-populated schedule and appointment details.

What about special requests or clinical notes?

If a patient mentions prior complications, medication allergies, or other clinical details during scheduling, the AI captures these and flags them in the appointment summary for your staff to review. Your clinical team can then reach out if additional pre-op evaluation is needed.
