eClinicalWorks

Ask established patients to confirm or update insurance during appointment booking calls

AI receptionist prompts returning patients to confirm insurance on file or provide updates during the call, captures changes and returns them as a structured summary for staff to review and enter into eClinicalWorks.

Current insurance in the chart at visit time means fewer post-visit corrections and resubmissions.

Frequently asked questions

How does the system know to ask about insurance updates?

When a returning patient is identified in eClinicalWorks, the AI includes insurance confirmation as part of the standard call flow. The caller is asked to confirm existing coverage or provide any changes before appointment details are finalized.

What if the patient says their insurance is the same?

The AI records the confirmation. Your staff see a note in the structured summary that insurance was verified; no eClinicalWorks update is needed unless there is a change.

How quickly does eClinicalWorks get updated if insurance changes?

Insurance changes are returned to your staff immediately after the call as part of the structured summary. Your team then manually updates eClinicalWorks at their discretion—typically before the visit or during post-call admin.

Does this work if the patient's eClinicalWorks insurance field is blank?

Yes. The AI will ask the caller to provide insurance information. If the field is empty or incomplete in eClinicalWorks, the AI captures what the caller provides, and staff can complete the record.
