Concierge & DPC
Concierge members expect evenings, weekends, and holidays to be covered. Hiring dedicated after-hours staff is expensive and inefficient. AI receptionist handles off-hours call volume while your team sleeps.
Concierge members pay for 24/7 access. AI receptionist delivers it without the cost and scheduling complexity of night-shift staff. Urgent calls reach providers; routine requests are captured and handled efficiently in the morning.
Instead of fielding calls and trying to triage via voicemail playback, on-call providers receive a structured summary from the AI and can call back informed. They handle high-acuity issues, not basic screening.
Members who get voicemail at off-hours often don't bother calling back or booking appointments—they just seek care elsewhere. Immediate AI response converts off-hours calls into appointments and keeps members in your practice.
Your daytime coordinators don't spend the morning fielding voicemail overflow and playing phone tag. Off-hours calls are already captured and ready for efficient follow-up. Day staff can focus on appointment delivery.

Structured intake captured
Chief complaint, symptoms, and history ready for morning follow-up
The AI uses clinical decision trees to screen for high-acuity complaints (chest pain, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing, high fever, etc.). Urgent calls route to your on-call provider immediately by phone or page. Routine requests (appointment booking, medication refill requests, general questions) are captured and queued for morning callback.
The AI asks screening questions (symptoms, duration, severity) and can provide basic guidance (call 911 if chest pain or difficulty breathing, etc.). If it's beyond the AI's scope, it either escalates to your on-call provider or advises the member to go to urgent care or ER. The call is fully documented for morning follow-up.
Yes. Members understand that a human receptionist isn't available at midnight. An AI that answers immediately, listens carefully, and routes urgent issues to a provider is much better than a voicemail system. And for true emergencies, urgent calls transfer to the on-call provider quickly.
The AI can book same-day appointments (for urgent issues seen by on-call staff) or next-business-day appointments (for routine requests). The booking syncs to your EHR in real time. Members get confirmed appointment times immediately, not callbacks in the morning.
The AI escalates immediately by phone or page. If the provider doesn't answer within a short window, the AI can escalate to a backup provider or recommend the member call 911 or go to urgent care, depending on the severity. All attempts are logged.
