Automate hand injury intake for workers' compensation cases

Hand surgeons see acute work-related injuries. Capture injury mechanism, employer details, and workers' comp info on first call. Structured intake is ready for staff to review, file, and route to billing.

Injury mechanism and timeline captured in triage format (crush, laceration, burn, etc.)
Employer name, workers' comp carrier, and claim number collected on call
Neurovascular status screening: sensation, color, swelling, bleeding
Return-to-work restrictions and loss-of-work status flagged for billing
Comparison to prior imaging or injury on file (if repeat patient)
Liability and third-party payer information captured as structured summary

How it pays back

Injury Details Captured in Triage

Instead of fragmentary messages, the AI gathers injury type, mechanism, time of injury, and employer all on the first call. Your staff receives a structured summary to review and route to workers' comp billing.

Faster Claim Submission

Workers' comp carrier name, claim number, and employer details are captured during intake. Your billing staff has what they need to file claims without phone tag with the patient.

Neurovascular Red Flags Escalated

The AI screens for signs of vascular compromise or nerve injury during intake. Urgent findings are flagged for immediate surgeon review; routine trauma is scheduled routinely.

Third-Party Liability Tracked

If the injury involves a third party (e.g., equipment malfunction), the AI captures that context. Your staff flags it for the surgeon and billing so liability can be routed correctly.

Injury mechanism documented

Crush, laceration, blast, thermal injury typed in triage

Workers' comp details captured

Employer, carrier name, and claim number on intake

Neurovascular screening live

Sensation, motor, circulation status assessed during call

Liability and third-party flagged

Structured intake notes ready for billing and claims routing

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a call is work-related?

When a patient reports a hand injury, the AI asks 'Did this happen at work or during a work-related activity?' If yes, the AI proceeds with workers' comp intake: employer, incident time, and witness information.

What neurovascular questions does the AI ask?

The AI asks about color (pale, pink, blue), temperature (warm, cold), sensation (normal, numb, tingling), and bleeding (controlled, ongoing). Concerning answers are flagged for surgeon review immediately.

Can the AI verify workers' comp claim status?

The AI captures the claim number and carrier name during intake. Your staff uses that information to verify claim status with the carrier. Verification is not automated by the AI.

How is third-party liability documented?

The AI asks if any equipment malfunction, third-party vehicle, or other entity was involved in the injury. That context is captured in the intake summary and flagged for your billing and legal teams.

Does the intake summary go to the chart or billing?

Your staff reviews the structured intake summary. Appointment details (name, DOB, phone) are written to your EMR. The clinical injury details, workers' comp, and employer information are captured as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your staff to review and file, then route to billing for claim submission.
