Intake

Capture membership tier and status on intake to route calls to the right care level

Concierge practices charge different fees for different service tiers. An AI receptionist identifies membership tier on intake, captures prior auth and care coordination rules, and routes each call to the appropriate provider or coordinator—ensuring members feel the value of their tier.

How it pays back

Members feel their tier immediately

When a Platinum member calls, the AI greets them by name, confirms their tier, and offers priority booking or specialist access. Standard members get appropriate access. This tier-aware routing reinforces membership value at first contact.

Membership data is captured and returned on every call

Call date, member tier, reason for visit, and any alerts (renewal due, high-utilizer flag, prior auth required) are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary. Your team reviews and files this in the chart, building a complete picture of member engagement.

Prior auth and specialty rules enforced at intake

If a member requests a specialist and your concierge plan limits specialist access, the AI knows this and either facilitates the referral (if tier allows) or routes to your care coordinator for discussion. No surprises at billing.

Clinical team preps based on member complexity

High-risk members or members with complex medical histories are flagged on intake. Staff and providers see these flags before the member arrives, enabling better visit planning and faster decision-making.

Prospects convert faster with tier education

Non-members calling to inquire about membership are routed to your membership coordinator with the AI's intake summary (caller name, reason for interest, clinical needs). The coordinator can match them to the right tier and close the sale faster.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know a caller's membership tier?

The AI looks up the caller's phone number or member ID in your EMR. If found, the member's tier (Platinum, Gold, Silver, etc.) is auto-loaded. If not found, the caller is treated as a prospect and routed to your membership coordinator for tier selection and enrollment.

What if a member calls from a different phone number?

The AI asks the member to verify their name and date of birth. Once verified, the tier is confirmed and the call is routed accordingly. The new phone number is captured and returned to your team to update the member record.

Can the AI check if a member has used all their visits or available services?

Yes, if your EMR tracks visit allotments or service usage (e.g., 4 annual physicals per tier). The AI can retrieve this and inform the member or flag it for your coordinator. Usage data is returned to your team on every call for your review and planning.

How does priority routing work if multiple providers are available?

You set tier-to-provider rules in the AI's configuration. For example: 'Platinum members → Dr. Smith (senior), then Dr. Jones; Standard members → next available provider.' The AI checks real-time availability and books according to these rules.

What happens if a member wants a specialist but their tier doesn't include specialist access?

The AI recognizes this at intake and offers two options: (1) Route to a care coordinator to discuss tier upgrade or specialty referral, or (2) Provide information on out-of-pocket specialty costs. The member's choice and the coordinator's decision are logged and returned to your team.

Can the AI track membership renewal dates and usage to identify churn risk?

Yes. Every call captures the member's renewal date, tier, and visit usage. This data is returned to your membership team. Over time, you can see which members are low-utilizers, which are frequent callers, and which are coming up for renewal—enabling proactive retention outreach.
