Workflow

Intake-to-Appointment Workflow for Interventional Pain New Patients: Chief Complaint, Imaging History, and Calendar Sync

New patients calling for pain consultations need brief intake—chief complaint, pain history, prior imaging, and medication list—then immediate appointment booking. MedReception AI captures intake, checks your calendar, books the appointment, and returns a structured summary for your staff to review.

How it pays back

No callbacks, no 'we'll confirm with your doctor.' The AI checks availability, books the appointment, and confirms on the spot.

Frequently asked questions

What if your calendar is fully booked?

The AI can offer the next available opening and add the patient to a waitlist. It can also ask whether the patient prefers a specific provider or time of day. Your team reviews cancellations and callbacks the patient if an earlier slot opens.

Can the AI collect insurance information?

Yes. The AI asks for insurance company name, member ID, and group number. That information is captured and returned in the intake summary. Your billing team reviews it for verification and pre-authorization.

What if a new patient needs imaging ordered before their first visit?

Your intake summary includes imaging history. If an MRI or ultrasound is needed, your staff can contact the patient or order it directly. MedReception captures the need so nothing falls through the cracks.

How does the system know this is a new patient?

If your EMR is integrated, the AI looks up the caller by phone number. If there's no match, it's a new patient. If your EMR isn't integrated, the AI asks whether they've been to your practice before.

Can the AI handle patients requesting a specific provider?

Yes. It can ask provider preference and check that provider's calendar, or offer alternatives if the preferred provider is unavailable.
