Concierge & DPC
Concierge members expect their provider to be reachable in an emergency. AI-powered after-hours routing ensures urgent calls are answered, triaged, and routed to on-call physicians with member identity verified and chief concern captured immediately.

Members in urgent situations reach a voice immediately. The AI captures concern, verifies membership, and routes to on-call provider within seconds. No voicemail, no delays, no callback loops.
The provider receives the call with member name, visit history, and chief complaint summary visible. They answer the phone informed. No context-switching, no repeated questions, faster resolution.
The AI triages incoming calls. Medication refill requests, appointment questions, and non-urgent concerns are logged. Urgent medical issues are escalated immediately. On-call providers sleep through routine calls.
Every after-hours call is logged with timestamp, caller identity, reason for call, and routing decision. This creates an audit trail for quality review and compliance verification.

The AI asks clarifying questions to understand the member's concern. Red flags—chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe injury—are routed immediately. Medication questions and appointment requests are logged for morning follow-up. Your practice can configure urgency criteria.
The AI will attempt to reach the provider on their configured phone number. If the provider doesn't answer after configured attempts, the AI can route to a backup provider, escalate to urgent care, or advise the member to call 911 if the concern is life-threatening.
The AI routes to the on-call provider assigned to that night or weekend. If your practice rotates coverage, the AI uses your current on-call schedule. Members can request their primary provider if your practice allows direct lines.
Yes. The AI has access to member demographics and visit history from your EHR. This context is passed to the on-call provider so they can assess the situation more quickly. The AI captures detailed medication and allergy information during the call and presents it to the provider in a structured summary before they take the call.
The AI recognizes repeat calls from the same number and member and logs this pattern. The on-call provider is informed of prior calls that evening. This helps the provider identify whether the issue was resolved or if the member has ongoing concerns.
