Frequently asked questions

What if the new patient doesn't have insurance?

The AI asks about self-pay or financial assistance options per your practice policy. The absence of insurance is noted in the structured summary so your staff can discuss payment arrangements at check-in.

How does the AI know which appointment time to offer?

The AI queries Hint Health in real time for available slots based on the patient's reason for visit and provider specialty. It offers the next available times and books the slot the patient chooses.

Can the AI handle new patients requesting a specific provider?

Yes. The AI asks if the patient has a preferred provider and checks their availability in Hint Health. If that provider is not available soon, the AI offers the next best alternatives.

What happens if a new patient's information is incomplete?

The AI asks follow-up questions to collect missing information (e.g., 'I didn't catch your date of birth. Could you spell that for me?'). If a field is still missing, your staff is notified for follow-up before the appointment.

Does the new patient receive a confirmation after the call?

Yes. The AI can send an SMS or email with appointment details, practice location, parking information, and a reminder to bring insurance card and ID. This reduces no-shows and confusion.
