Concierge & DPC

Route member calls directly to on-call physicians without front-desk gatekeeping

Concierge members pay for direct access. AI escalation routing ensures urgent calls reach physicians immediately while routine requests go to care staff, preserving the member experience and managing physician workflow.

How it pays back

Members Get Direct Access They Paid For

Urgent member calls reach physicians without delay. Routine calls are routed to care staff, ensuring physicians focus on complex cases while members feel heard.

Physician Workflow Remains Manageable

Pre-call summaries let physicians know call reason and member history before answering. Routine requests are filtered out, so physician time is spent on high-value care.

Reduced On-Call Burden for Staff

AI handles call volume, triage, and callback scheduling. Staff and physicians only address calls that need immediate human attention.

Urgent calls escalated immediately

Chest pain, difficulty breathing, acute injury routed to on-call physician

Routine requests routed appropriately

Prescription refills, billing questions, appointment requests sent to care team

Pre-call summaries provided

Physician sees call reason, member tier, and recent visit history before answering

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which physician is on-call?

The AI integrates with your practice management system or on-call schedule. It pulls the current on-call physician and routes urgent calls accordingly. If no physician is available, it escalates to the after-hours nurse line or urgent care per your protocol.

What if a member calls with a non-urgent request outside business hours?

The AI captures the request, confirms it is not urgent, and offers a callback during business hours or during the next available window specified by the practice. Urgent requests bypass this and escalate immediately.

Does the physician receive a summary before the call connects?

Yes. The AI returns a structured summary including member name, tier, reason for call, recent visit history, and any flagged conditions. The physician reviews this before answering.

Can physicians customize escalation rules per member?

Yes. You can set member-specific rules (e.g., Premier tier always gets same-day callback; Premier plus gets immediate escalation for non-urgent) or symptom-based rules (e.g., any report of chest pain goes to physician immediately).
