Compliance
Interventional pain procedures often require prior authorization before booking. AI receptionist captures insurance details and procedure type on the intake call; structured data goes to your authorization team so prior auth requests can start immediately—not three days before the appointment.
The AI captures insurance and procedure type on the booking call. Your authorization team has the data they need and can submit PA requests immediately. Authorizations come back well before the appointment, reducing last-minute cancellations due to approval delays.
With auth started early, you discover coverage gaps or denials with time to appeal, work with insurance, or discuss alternative procedures with the patient. No surprises on procedure day.
Your clinical team isn't making calls to insurance companies to verify coverage. The AI documented it; your billing/auth team handles verification and PA submission. Clinical staff focuses on patient care, not insurance admin.
The AI returns insurance, procedure type, and relevant clinical flags in a standardized format. Your auth team doesn't have to hunt for details in a call recording or voicemail—all the data is there, ready to use.
Insurance details captured
Carrier, member ID, group number documented on intake call in structured format
Procedure type documented
Specific intervention (epidural, facet ablation, SI joint, etc.) recorded for PA determination
Clinical flags noted
Anticoagulation, allergy, prior procedure history documented to inform authorization review
Auth data ready same-day
Structured intake summary delivered to your authorization team hours after booking call, not days
The AI asks for the patient's insurance carrier (company name), member ID, group number if applicable, and whether they know if their specific procedure requires prior authorization. If the patient doesn't have the card handy, they can provide it during the appointment or upload it via the patient portal.
Insurance information is captured on the call and returned as a structured intake summary to your staff. Your billing or authorization team reviews it, validates the coverage, and enters it into your practice management system. This allows your team to verify accuracy and initiate PA requests.
Yes. You can configure rules in the AI system to flag high-denial carriers (e.g., 'Flag if United Healthcare') or carriers with long authorization turnaround times. Your authorization team sees the flag and can proactively reach out to insurance or prepare the patient for potential delays.
The AI notes the patient's report and escalates it to your clinical and billing teams. Your staff can then explore appeal options, discuss alternative procedures, or clarify whether the patient is working with the insurance company on reconsideration. This conversation happens during intake, not on procedure day.
No. The AI asks insurance questions as part of the natural intake flow—it typically takes 30 seconds to a minute. Booking the appointment slot and confirming the time takes the same amount of time regardless. The overall call is 3–5 minutes for a straightforward new patient booking.
Yes. The AI documents self-pay status or notes a high-deductible plan. Your staff can discuss cost estimates or payment plans during the intake or follow-up call. Early awareness of cost barriers helps your team address them proactively.
