Frequently asked questions

How does the AI identify urgent member calls?

The AI asks brief screening questions to assess urgency—chest pain, shortness of breath, severe bleeding, or other red flags trigger immediate escalation to your on-call provider. Routine questions are captured and summarized for your staff.

Can the AI confirm upcoming appointments with members?

Yes. The AI can call or text members the day before their appointment to confirm they're still planning to attend. This reduces no-shows and keeps your schedule full.

Will members accept AI answering their calls?

Members in concierge practices are often frustrated by poor phone access; a professional, warm AI voice that answers instantly and understands their concerns is a relief. If they need a human, the call transfers immediately.

What happens to the information the AI collects during a call?

The AI returns a structured summary of the call—member name, reason for call, urgency level, and any questions. Your staff reviews it and documents it as needed. Appointment bookings and member demographics (name, DOB, phone) sync to your EMR; clinical content and concerns are captured as a pasteable summary for your team to review and file.

Can the AI handle follow-up calls for prior authorizations or test results?

Yes. The AI can call members to inform them of test results, prior authorization status, or prescription refill readiness. Members hear from your practice promptly, improving satisfaction and engagement.
