Patient Intake

Ask for insurance and ID details while the patient is on the phone: AI captures them on the call and hands a verified summary to your staff.

AI asks for insurance plan, group number, and ID information during the booking call. Details are captured and returned as a ready-to-verify summary—no portals, no callback forms, no missing information at check-in.

How it pays back

Insurance verified before the patient arrives

Staff receives a summary with insurance details captured on the call. They confirm coverage, co-pay, and authorization requirements in advance. Patient doesn't spend time at check-in explaining or correcting insurance information.

No post-call follow-up calls to verify insurance

Traditional workflow: patient hangs up, front desk calls back the next day to verify insurance. With on-call capture, you have verified information before the appointment—or your staff calls with time to resolve issues.

Reduced check-in friction and time

When a patient arrives, insurance is already in the chart. Front desk asks, 'Has anything changed since we spoke?' instead of 'What's your insurance?' Faster, smoother check-in.

Better financial data collection upfront

Knowing insurance, co-pay, and deductible before the appointment allows your billing team to prepare estimates, collect cost-shares in advance if needed, and avoid billing delays.

Frequently asked questions

Does AI data sync insurance information to the EMR automatically?

Insurance details are captured on the call and returned to your staff as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary. Your staff reviews and confirms these details, then files them in the EMR according to your workflow. This ensures accuracy and maintains compliance.

What if a patient doesn't have their insurance card during the call?

If a patient doesn't have details handy, AI can note it and your staff can send a follow-up link or call to collect this information before the appointment. The appointment still books; insurance details are gathered on a timeline that works.

Can AI verify real-time eligibility with insurance companies?

AI captures the insurance information. Real-time eligibility verification requires a separate integration with your payer system. Your staff can use the captured details to check coverage in your insurance verification tool.

How does this handle patients with multiple insurance plans?

AI can capture primary and secondary insurance details during the call. The summary flags all plans, allowing your staff to coordinate coverage and determine primary responsibility before the visit.

What if the patient's insurance has changed since their last visit?

If the patient is returning and their insurance is different from the last visit, AI captures the new information on the call. Your staff updates the record and is ready to bill under the new plan.
