How it pays back

Consolidate phone coverage across all providers

One AI receptionist handles inbound calls for your entire practice—whether you have 2 providers or 10. No need to hire multiple front desk staff or rotate call duty among clinical team.

Route calls intelligently by provider and specialty

Caller asks for an allergy appointment; the AI routes to your allergy specialist. Existing patient calls back for a follow-up; the AI routes to their established provider. Urgent referrals go to on-call.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which provider to route a call to?

The AI can look up existing patients by phone number or name and route them to their established provider. New patients are routed based on the type of visit (e.g., new allergy patient to the allergy specialist). You can also manually configure preferred routing rules per provider.

Does the AI work if we have providers in different locations?

Yes. The AI routes calls to the correct clinic location based on the caller's request or existing chart. Each location's schedule is in your EMR and accessible to the AI in real time.

What if a provider's schedule changes during the day?

The AI pulls availability from your EMR in real time. If a provider goes on leave or their schedule is updated, the AI sees it immediately and adjusts routing and booking.

Can we set up after-hours escalation for multiple providers?

Yes. You configure an on-call schedule that covers all providers. The AI routes after-hours calls to whichever provider is on call, or uses a backup list if the primary provider doesn't answer.

Does the AI handle transfers between providers if needed?

Yes. If a caller needs to speak to a different provider or be transferred to a clinic coordinator, the AI can transfer to that person or leave a detailed voicemail with context from the call.
