eClinicalWorks Workflow

Structured insurance capture when eClinicalWorks patient lookup doesn't find a match

If a patient cannot be identified in eClinicalWorks during the call, the AI receptionist still captures insurance and demographic information as a structured summary so new patient records can be created with complete information.

How it pays back

Insurance Captured First Time, Not Later

Even if the patient isn't in the system yet, insurance information is collected during the initial call and structured so your team can verify it immediately without a callback.

New Patient Records Ready to Go

When a new patient is created in eClinicalWorks, their record includes demographics and appointment information in one place. Insurance details are provided in a structured summary for your staff to review and file.

Eligibility Verification Starts Sooner

Your staff gets a complete, structured insurance summary before the new patient arrives, so authorization and coverage questions are resolved proactively.

Frequently asked questions

What triggers a failed patient lookup in eClinicalWorks?

A lookup fails if the patient is not yet in eClinicalWorks (new to your practice) or if the information provided doesn't match any existing record. In either case, the AI proceeds to capture full intake information including insurance.

How is insurance information structured if there's no existing eClinicalWorks record?

The AI captures insurance details during the call and returns them in a structured format (carrier name, member ID, group number, etc.) that your staff can use to verify eligibility and create the new patient record.

Does the AI create a new patient in eClinicalWorks automatically?

The AI captures new patient demographics and insurance as a structured summary. Your staff reviews the information and creates the eClinicalWorks record using your standard new patient workflow, which ensures accuracy and compliance.

Does the AI re-ask for information if eClinicalWorks lookup succeeds partway through the call?

No. The AI checks eClinicalWorks at the start of the call. If a match is found, it uses that record. If no match is found, it proceeds to capture full intake information, including insurance, in one continuous conversation.
