Concierge & DPC

Concierge practices spend heavily on after-hours phone staff—redirect that cost to patient care

Hiring dedicated after-hours receptionist coverage for concierge members is expensive and still results in delayed callbacks. An AI receptionist answers 24/7, books appointments, and captures member context—freeing phone staff for daytime clinical and administrative work.

How it pays back

No more outsourced after-hours answering services

Concierge members expect your practice to answer, not a third-party service. An AI receptionist with your voice answers every after-hours call, maintains member context, and escalates to your on-call team.

Staffing cost realigned to clinical priorities

Instead of paying for dedicated after-hours phone staff, invest in clinical scribes, chart review support, or care coordination—roles that directly impact member outcomes and satisfaction.

Instant member context for your on-call clinician

When an urgent call comes in, your clinician receives the member's full context (appointment history, preferences, reason for call) immediately, not a vague voicemail.

Appointment slots filled instead of lost

Members who call after-hours can book available slots immediately with the AI instead of waiting for callback—and that appointment is added to your EMR in real time.

Frequently asked questions

How much does after-hours staffing typically cost concierge practices?

Costs vary based on your member base size and call volume. Full-time after-hours reception and outsourced answering services represent a significant annual expense. An AI receptionist removes both.

Will members notice a difference if we switch from a human to AI answering?

No. The AI is configured with your practice's voice, greeting, and member-specific workflows. It sounds professional, knows your member details, and escalates appropriately. Members experience premium service without delay.

What if a member calls with a non-urgent question at 2 AM?

The AI answers, gathers context, and offers options: schedule a callback during business hours, leave a message for the on-call team, or book an appointment. All details are logged so your team has the full context.

Can we use the cost savings to add daytime support instead?

Yes. Many concierge practices redirect the after-hours phone savings to administrative roles (scheduling, prior auth, care coordination) that drive higher member satisfaction and clinical outcomes.

Do appointment bookings made through the AI sync to our calendar and EMR?

Yes. New appointments and member demographics write directly to your EMR and practice management system in real time.
