Revenue Workflow

Capture insurance and payment preference on the first call to accelerate billing in concierge practices

Concierge members expect a frictionless experience. Capturing insurance and payment method during the intake call reduces billing inquiries and improves cash flow. The AI collects this information, your staff files it, and invoicing proceeds without gaps.

How it pays back

Cash flow improves through upfront verification

Insurance and payment method are confirmed before the first visit, not after. Information is handed to staff for filing. Denials drop.

Billing team time shifts from calls to processing

AI gathers payment and insurance info; billing staff enter it and process claims. Fewer incoming calls about 'Do you have my insurance?' or 'What do I owe?'

Member satisfaction: transparency builds trust

Members hear exactly what to expect (concierge fee, expected copay, payment options) on the intake call. No billing surprises. Fewer disputes.

Revenue recognition is predictable

Payment method on file means invoices are collected on schedule. Fewer accounts receivable days, faster revenue cycle.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI ask for payment method on the intake call?

Yes, but the AI does not store the card details. The AI asks 'Do you prefer to pay by credit card, ACH, or invoice?' and gathers the member's preference. Your staff securely enter the full payment method in your practice management system following PCI compliance guidelines.

Can the AI explain the concierge fee and membership cost?

Yes. You can provide a script that explains the concierge fee, what's included, annual cost, and payment schedule. The AI delivers this consistently to every new member.

What if a member says they don't have insurance?

The AI gathers employment, household size, and any indication of financial hardship. Your staff review and discuss payment plans or eligibility for sliding scale before the first visit.

Can the AI follow up on past-due balances?

Yes. You can set up a callback script that says 'I see an outstanding balance from [date]. Let me tell you about your payment options.' The AI documents the member's response and your staff follow up if needed.

Does the AI help with insurance claims?

The AI captures insurance info on the intake call and returns it as a structured summary. Staff then file this in your practice management system and submit claims as usual. The AI doesn't submit claims directly, but complete info reduces claim denials.

What if a member refuses to provide insurance info?

The AI notes the refusal and offers to escalate to staff. Your billing coordinator then calls to discuss payment options and self-pay terms before the first visit.
