New pain patients from primary care, orthopedics, and neurology often have complex histories. An AI receptionist captures referral information, pain characteristics, prior treatments, and imaging status on the first call, so your clinical team arrives fully informed.
Your pain physician meets a new patient whose entire history—referral, pain characteristics, imaging, medications, prior treatments—is already documented and reviewed. Chair time is spent on clinical decision-making, not repeating intake questions.
Your team can communicate back to the referring provider with a clear summary of the patient's pain profile, treatments offered, and outcomes. Referrers see that their patients are handled with care and precision, encouraging future referrals.
Workers' comp, commercial, or Medicare status is identified during the booking call. Your billing team confirms coverage, pre-authorization requirements, and patient responsibility before the appointment—reducing billing surprises and follow-up calls.
If a new caller reports systemic symptoms (fever, unintentional weight loss) or acute neurological changes, the AI flags the call for immediate clinical review. Your intake coordinator alerts the physician before the patient is scheduled, preventing unnecessary interventional procedures for medical emergencies.

Yes. The AI asks 'Who is your primary care doctor?' or 'Which provider referred you to us?' and 'What did they say about your pain?' This information is logged and linked to the patient's new patient record for communication back to the referrer.
The AI uses open-ended questions first—'Where is your pain?' 'When did it start?'—and then follows with specific descriptors: 'Is the pain sharp, dull, burning, or aching?' This approach captures patient-reported characteristics without suggestion bias.
The AI is configured to recognize red flags—fever, unintentional weight loss, acute neurological symptoms—and escalate the call to a clinical staff member for immediate review. Your physician can determine whether the patient needs emergency evaluation or can be scheduled for standard intake.
Yes. The AI asks 'Do you have recent imaging?' and 'What type and where was it done?' The facility name and imaging type are recorded and presented to your staff as a structured summary for review and filing. Your staff then verifies whether the imaging is available in your PACS or requests records from the outside facility before the appointment.
The AI asks 'Is this related to a work injury?' and 'Do you have a workers' comp case number?' This information is captured and flagged for your billing and intake teams. Workers' comp cases often require specific documentation and authorization, so early identification prevents delays.
