Workflow
Interventional pain clinics lose hours to insurance verification calls after booking. Capture insurance, payer details, and clinical indication during the patient's scheduling call—structured and ready for your staff to review and submit.
Rather than scheduling first and then calling insurance later, your staff has the patient's insurance details on file before the appointment is booked. Your authorization team can start the prior auth request immediately—not hours or days later—reducing approval delays.
The AI asks the patient for their chief complaint and relevant history (e.g., 'six months of left-sided lower back pain radiating to the leg'). This description is returned as a structured summary to your staff, ensuring your authorization team has the clinical context the insurance company needs to review the request.
Your authorization specialist no longer spends time calling to verify insurance details. The AI has already confirmed payer name, plan type, and member information on the intake call. Your team moves straight to submitting the prior auth form.
Prior auth rejections often stem from incomplete or mismatched patient information. Because the AI captures and structures the data on the intake call, your submissions are complete from the start—fewer resubmissions, faster approvals, faster procedure scheduling.

HIPAA-safe handling of PHI during insurance verification
The AI is configured with a list of your common payers and their prior auth requirements. When a patient names their insurance, the AI knows if that carrier requires pre-authorization for their specific procedure type (e.g., epidural vs. facet block). If yes, the AI captures all the data your staff needs. If no, the booking proceeds with a note for your records.
The AI can ask the patient to look up their payer online or offer to email a follow-up form. If the patient provides payer name and date of birth, the AI can often retrieve member ID from your EMR or ask the patient to provide it by reply text or portal. Your staff has a complete flag to follow up if the data is incomplete.
No. The AI captures and structures the required data and returns it to your staff. Your authorization team reviews, verifies, and submits the formal prior auth request through your EMR or portal. The AI's job is to gather the data so your staff can move faster—not to replace authorization submission.
Insurance details (payer, member ID, clinical indication) are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary to your staff. This summary is linked to the patient's appointment record and EMR account. Your staff uses this data to submit the prior auth and then stores any insurance verification in your patient chart per your compliance protocol. The data is treated as PHI and secured per HIPAA standards throughout.
If a patient has previously called and provided insurance information, the AI can note their prior payer on this new call and ask if coverage has changed. If the patient says 'still the same,' the AI confirms. If coverage has changed, the AI captures the new insurance details. This avoids submitting prior auth under old or invalid insurance.
