Concierge & DPC

AI receptionist handles routine member questions about services, hours, policies, and billing

Concierge members often call with questions outside of appointment needs—about membership benefits, billing, office hours, services offered, or how to reach the on-call provider. An AI receptionist answers these inquiries instantly, reducing staff interruptions and improving member satisfaction.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know the answer to questions about my membership tiers?

Your membership structure, benefits, copays, and policies are configured in the AI's knowledge base when it's deployed. This can be updated anytime your offerings change. The AI references this data to answer questions accurately and consistently.

What if a member has a billing dispute?

The AI can acknowledge the concern and capture the details—amount disputed, reason, date of service, etc. This information is logged and escalated to your billing or business team for investigation and follow-up. Complex disputes require human review and decision-making.

Can the AI explain the difference between two membership tiers?

Yes. The AI can compare tiers side-by-side—coverage, visit limits, specialist access, preventive benefits—and help a member understand which tier fits their needs. This is especially useful for prospective members deciding whether to join.

What if a member asks about a service we don't offer?

The AI can be trained to clearly state what services are and aren't available, and to offer alternatives—e.g., 'We don't provide physical therapy on-site, but we partner with [clinic name] and can provide a referral.' This prevents member confusion and disappointment.

How does the AI handle a member upset about a charge or billing error?

The AI acknowledges the frustration, apologizes for the confusion, and commits to having the billing team investigate. It captures the member's version of events and schedules a callback from your business office. This prevents escalation and shows the member their concern is being taken seriously.
