Frequently asked questions

How does the AI receptionist know which calls are urgent?

During the conversation, the AI asks targeted questions about symptoms, severity, and timing. Urgent signals trigger immediate routing to your on-call provider or emergency protocol. Routine calls are handled by the AI and logged for your team.

Can I customize the after-hours greeting and routing for my Fresno clinic?

Yes. You set the greeting, specify which calls route to on-call, which go to answering service, and which create follow-up tasks for your team. Fully configurable to your workflow.

What if a patient needs to schedule but my calendar is full?

The AI can add them to a waitlist, schedule a callback reminder, or route them to an urgent care or telehealth alternative—depending on your preference. Patients never hear 'call back Monday.'

Does this work if my practice has multiple phone numbers or locations in Fresno?

Yes. You can configure multiple phone lines and locations. The AI routes each call to the correct location, checks availability across all calendars, and manages location-specific protocols.

What happens during a call about a medical emergency?

If the patient reports a true emergency (chest pain, difficulty breathing, etc.), the AI immediately routes to 911 or your on-call emergency protocol while keeping the patient on the line. Your system never delays emergency response.

How is call recording handled under California privacy law?

All calls are recorded with full HIPAA encryption and secure storage. California two-party consent is observed—your system confirms recording consent per your policy, and no data is shared with third parties.
