Workflow

Identify which callers match your procedure indications before they reach a clinician

Not every pain patient is a candidate for your procedures. AI reception screens for typical pain history, location, and prior treatments so your clinical staff focuses on qualified candidates, not intake questions.

How it pays back

Clinical Efficiency

Your providers spend intake time on clinical assessment and shared decision-making, not basic history questions. Structured summaries from the AI answer 'why is this patient calling?' before the appointment.

Appointment Conversion

Callers whose pain profile matches your procedures get rapid scheduling. Callers who need different care (primary care referral, surgical evaluation) are identified and appropriately routed, reducing no-shows and wrong-fit appointments.

Contraindication Early Flagging

Anticoagulation, recent infection, or severe comorbidities that complicate procedures are surfaced before scheduling. Prevents wasted appointment slots and clinical surprise.

Insurance Pre-Check

Coverage and prior auth requirements are captured at intake. Staff can initiate authorization requests immediately instead of discovering barriers on the day of the visit.

Intake screening completed

Pain history, location, prior treatment, and contraindications captured before clinician touch

Candidate profile matching

Structured summary flags whether caller matches typical procedure candidate or needs alternate pathway

New patient chart prepared

Demographics, appointment booking, and pain summary ready for appointment check-in

Named EMR integrations

New patient creation and demographics sync directly into athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a patient is a candidate for your procedures?

Your clinical team provides training on typical candidate profiles: pain location, duration, prior treatments that failed, and any red flags. The AI asks structured questions and compares responses to that profile. The summary flags fit level, but your clinicians make the final determination.

What if the caller doesn't match the typical profile?

The intake is still captured and structured. Your clinical staff reviews the summary and decides if they want to see the patient for alternate evaluation or if a referral is more appropriate. Nothing is rejected without clinician input.

Can the AI identify contraindications like anticoagulation or infection?

Yes. The AI asks about current medications, recent procedures, and active infections. Responses are flagged in the summary. Your clinical team reviews before scheduling to avoid contraindicated procedures.

Does this speed up new patient appointments?

Yes. High-fit candidates can be scheduled quickly because intake is already complete. Your scheduler has the structured summary and knows the caller is ready. Reduces intake appointment time and scheduling delays.

Does it require my EMR to pre-load patient profiles?

No. Your clinical team trains the AI by describing your typical candidate. The AI learns to ask the right questions and flag matches. EMR integration is optional; the AI works from the training you provide.
