Workflow

Complete new patient intake and appointment booking in one phone call instead of three

New patients call, the AI collects full intake (demographics, medical history, insurance questions), creates a patient record in your EMR, and books the appointment—all without transferring to staff or sending follow-up forms.

How it pays back

Faster New Patient Onboarding

No back-and-forth calls, no emailed forms, no waiting for patient replies. New patient ready for appointment in one conversation.

Complete Chart Before First Visit

Clinical staff review intake data and medical history before the patient arrives. Provider can focus on care, not intake questions.

Reduced No-Shows for New Patients

Confirmed appointment, clear pre-visit instructions, and a warm handoff experience build confidence and reduce cancellations.

Better First Impression

New patients experience a smooth, organized onboarding. They feel welcomed and prepared—not asked to repeat themselves at check-in.

Structured summary for clinical review

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the new patient doesn't answer all questions on the first call?

The AI captures what the caller provides and flags incomplete sections in the summary sent to staff. Your team can follow up via phone or patient portal before the appointment if critical information is missing.

Does the new patient record include insurance verification?

The AI asks for insurance information during the call and returns it as structured text for staff review. Your staff verify coverage and eligibility using your normal workflow—this is not automated to avoid claim denials from incorrect data entry.

Can the AI handle new patients who are establishing with a specific provider?

Yes. The AI can route new patient calls to the correct provider queue and note their provider preference in the appointment and intake summary.

What if a new patient needs to upload photo ID or insurance cards?

The AI can send a secure portal link during or after the call for the patient to upload documents. The link includes the intake summary for the patient to verify accuracy before submission.
