Reduce pre-certification delays and insurance callbacks in interventional pain practices

AI receptionist captures insurance and procedure details during booking; staff receives structured data to submit for prior authorization without follow-up calls.

How it pays back

No Insurance Callbacks

Patient provides insurance once during intake. Staff gets a complete summary with all fields needed for pre-cert submission. No need to call the patient back to ask for group number or coverage details.

Faster Prior Authorization Processing

Insurance companies receive complete, accurate submissions. Missing data (diagnosis code, imaging reports, provider tax ID) is provided upfront, reducing denials and re-submissions.

Billing Team Efficiency

Insurance data is pre-populated and validated. Billing staff spends time on authorization follow-up, not data entry. Fewer manual errors and re-work.

Patient Confidence

Patients know coverage is being verified before their procedure. No surprise denials or cancellations due to authorization issues.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI submit insurance pre-authorizations directly?

No. The AI captures insurance information and procedure details during intake and returns a structured summary to your billing team. Your staff submits the pre-cert to the insurance company using your existing process or portal.

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

The AI asks for current insurance during every booking call. If insurance has changed, the new carrier and policy are captured and sent to billing. Your system is updated with the latest coverage.

Can the AI check insurance eligibility in real time?

The AI captures insurance information during the call. Your practice can integrate an eligibility check with your billing or PMS system to verify coverage while the patient is on the call, if your system supports it.

How is prior authorization status communicated to the patient?

Your staff handles authorization follow-up and communicates status to the patient. The AI can be used to confirm authorization receipt via callback or text message after your team submits the pre-cert.

What if the insurance denies the pre-cert?

Your billing team receives the denial and can contact the insurance company or the patient. The AI intake summary provides all clinical context needed to support an appeal or resubmission.
