Revenue Protection

Stop losing patient information when calls go to voicemail, IVR trees, or back-to-queue hold loops.

AI receptionists answer inbound calls and conduct intake in real-time. Patient data—name, DOB, phone—is captured and structured on every call that connects. Chief complaint, symptoms, and insurance details are gathered during the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file, eliminating the data loss that happens when patients hang up frustrated or voicemail goes unheard.

How it pays back

No more 'caller hung up before leaving voicemail' data loss

Patients who call and get no answer or hit an IVR tree often hang up. With AI answering every call, intake happens. That patient information is captured, not lost forever.

Demographics and contact details collected on the call

When a patient speaks to the AI during booking, they provide contact details and reason for visit. Your staff have the information captured and ready in the intake summary for review and filing.

Reduces follow-up calls to complete intake

Staff don't spend time calling patients back to verify symptoms or confirm reason for visit. All that information came in on the initial call and is in the intake summary.

Appointment quality improves with complete data

When the provider has chief complaint, symptom context, and caller information in advance, the visit is more efficient and focused. Patient doesn't repeat information, provider doesn't guess at what the visit is for.

Every call answered, every caller heard

No voicemail fallback, no data loss to silence

Intake gathered in real-time during the call

Information captured as patient speaks

Structured summary returned to staff immediately

Data ready for review and filing

Urgent symptoms flagged and escalated

Safety concerns bypass routine workflow

Frequently asked questions

What happens to intake data if the call drops or the patient hangs up during intake?

The AI captures whatever intake was provided up to that point. The partial intake summary is returned so staff have some context and can follow up with the patient if needed. Nothing is lost.

Can patients opt out of providing intake information on the call?

Yes. If a patient declines to provide certain details, the AI respects that. It notes the deferral in the intake summary. Appointment still books. Staff can request missing information before the visit or at check-in.

How is patient privacy protected during intake collection on the phone?

All calls are HIPAA-compliant. Calls are encrypted, recordings are stored securely, and data transmission is encrypted. The AI is trained to handle PHI and avoids asking for sensitive information on speaker phone or in public settings.

Does the AI ask for full insurance card details, or just the plan name?

The AI asks for insurance plan name and member ID if available. Full card details (like CVV or expiration) are not requested on a phone call. Patients can provide card info at the appointment or via the MedReception portal if they prefer not to say it aloud.

What if a caller is confused or doesn't understand the intake questions?

The AI is trained to rephrase, slow down, and clarify. If the patient is very confused or hostile, the AI can flag the call for staff escalation. Staff review the recording and partial intake and can reach out with a gentler approach.
