Patient Acquisition

New patients call your Fresno practice—capture their intake while they're on the line, not after a voicemail tag

Fresno practices miss new patient intake details because calls go to voicemail. AI reception captures demographics, chief complaint, and insurance info on the first call, ready for your staff to review and file.

How it pays back

No new patient data loss

Rather than a new caller leaving a voicemail with partial information and a Fresno area code, the AI captures their complete intake on the call and pre-schedules them in your system.

Faster chart preparation

By the time your staff logs in the next morning, new patient charts have structured intake summaries ready to review and file. No chasing voicemails or missing information.

Insurance information captured upfront

The AI asks for insurance details and member ID during the call. Your staff gets a summary to review and verify coverage at your own pace.

Chief complaint is documented

The AI captures the reason for the visit from the patient's own words. Your clinical staff uses that as the basis for the chart note.

New patient appointment is already booked

Callers aren't asked to call back or wait for a callback. They're scheduled on the first call and receive a confirmation text or email.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI write insurance information to the EMR automatically?

No. Insurance details—carrier name, member ID, group number—are captured on the call and returned in a structured summary for your staff. Your staff reviews the information, verifies it, and files it in your system. This gives your team control over what's entered and an opportunity to flag errors.

What if a new patient doesn't know their insurance info when they call?

The AI captures what they know and notes that insurance verification is pending. Your staff follows up via text or email to collect that info. The appointment is still booked and the intake is still started.

How does the AI know this is a new patient?

When the caller says it's their first visit, the AI starts a new patient intake. It asks for demographics and chief complaint. Your EMR is checked to confirm they're not already in the system. If they are, the AI updates their existing record with the new visit reason.

Can the AI ask about medical history and allergies?

Yes. The AI asks screening questions about allergies, current medications, and relevant medical history. Those answers are captured and returned as a structured summary for your clinical staff to review and enter into the chart.

What if the new patient has complex medical needs?

The AI captures the intake and routes the call to your clinical staff or nurse line if needed. Complex cases are handled by a human. The structured intake the AI collected is passed to them so they don't have to start from zero.
