Workflow

Capture pain management referrals and book consultations even when your office is closed

Referring physicians and patients calling after hours for pain management consultations don't reach voicemail. Our AI books consultation appointments, captures referral source, and briefs your team at start of business.

How it pays back

Referral Source Never Goes to Voicemail

Physicians calling to refer pain patients reach a live conversation immediately. The practice name, specialty, and referring provider are logged so you can nurture referral relationships and track volume.

Consultations Booked Before Patients Hang Up

Referral calls result in scheduled appointments. Patients don't have to wait for a callback to confirm their first visit, so show rates are higher.

On-Call Provider Alerted to Urgent Referrals

Complex cases or patients in acute pain are escalated to your on-call clinician during nights and weekends. Urgent consultations can be triaged or scheduled for emergency evaluation.

Referral Pipeline Tracked Automatically

Every referral call is logged with source, patient info, and booking status. Your team can measure referral volume and conversion without manual tracking.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a call is from a referring physician vs. a patient?

The AI asks the caller to identify themselves and the reason for the call. If it's a provider referral, the AI captures their practice name, specialty, and the patient's pain complaint. If it's a patient, it collects contact info and chief complaint.

What if a referral is urgent and the patient needs same-day or next-day evaluation?

The AI identifies urgency indicators (acute pain, post-operative complications, loss of function) and either books the patient into an urgent slot or escalates to your on-call provider for triage guidance.

Are referral calls recorded and logged for compliance?

Yes. All calls are recorded, and referral details are captured in a structured summary. Your staff review the log at start of business and file referral source information for billing and relationship tracking.

Can the AI confirm insurance eligibility for referrals?

The AI captures insurance information during the call. Your staff verify benefits and pre-authorization requirements the next morning before the patient's first appointment.

How are overnight referral bookings communicated to your team?

A daily morning report lists all referrals booked during off-hours, including referring provider, patient name, pain type, and scheduled appointment time. Staff review and confirm pre-op or pre-auth needs.
