eClinicalWorks

AI detects when existing eClinicalWorks patients have outdated insurance and captures updated details during appointment calls

When an existing patient calls for an appointment, AI verifies insurance on file and captures updated details if the policy has changed. Staff receives a comparison summary for eClinicalWorks chart review.

How it pays back

Outdated insurance caught proactively

Before the appointment is entered, your staff knows if coverage has changed. No claims submitted to lapsed policies; eligibility checked with the current carrier.

Less eligibility-check work for billing

Insurance is current in eClinicalWorks when the appointment is confirmed. Billing runs eligibility without having to call the patient or chase updated cards.

Existing patients feel recognized

AI references the patient's last visit and confirms insurance details—familiar experience that builds trust and reduces caller frustration with 'we already have your info' scenarios.

Fewer claim corrections and rebills

Up-to-date insurance in the chart means first-time claim submission accuracy, reducing rework for your billing team.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know what insurance is on file in eClinicalWorks?

The system integrates with your eClinicalWorks instance to read patient demographics, including insurance carrier and policy info stored in the chart. It then asks the caller if that information is still current.

What if the patient says their insurance hasn't changed?

The AI confirms and documents that insurance is unchanged. The appointment is booked with the existing insurance on file, and no update is needed in eClinicalWorks.

Can the AI update insurance directly in eClinicalWorks?

No. The system returns a comparison summary for your staff to review and update manually in eClinicalWorks. This ensures accuracy and gives your team control over what enters the chart.

What if a patient's insurance is partially entered (e.g., carrier but no member ID)?

The AI flags incomplete information and asks the caller to provide the missing details. The structured summary shows what was collected and what is still needed for staff to follow up on.

Does this work for patients with multiple insurance policies?

Yes. The system can be configured to capture primary and secondary insurance. The AI asks whether the caller's insurance has changed and requests both if applicable.
