Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which procedure type a patient needs?

The AI asks about the patient's pain location, prior diagnoses (if known), and whether a referring provider specified a procedure. Common procedures (epidural, facet injection, etc.) are offered as quick-select options. The choice is captured and synced to the EMR appointment.

What if the patient doesn't have imaging yet?

The AI notes that imaging is pending and flags the appointment for staff review. Your clinic can order imaging before the consultation, or the clinician may order it during the consultation visit.

Can the AI check available appointment slots before booking?

Yes. The AI sees your real-time availability and books the patient into an open slot. If no slots are available, the system offers a waitlist or callback option.

Does the appointment show up in my EMR right away?

Yes. Appointment time, date, procedure type, and patient demographics are synced to your EMR schedule immediately. Your front desk sees it and can confirm with the patient if needed.

What if the referral or authorization is incomplete?

The AI books the appointment and flags missing referral documents or prior auth for staff follow-up. Your authorization coordinator can reach out to the referring provider or insurance company.
