Workflow

Never miss an insurance approval callback that delays your procedure schedule

Insurance companies call back with approvals and denials—but if your front desk is busy with patients, those callbacks get dropped. AI reception logs every prior auth call and hands your staff a structured queue of pending approvals.

How it pays back

No Orphaned Prior Auth Approvals

When insurance calls back with approval, the AI captures it immediately. Your staff wakes to a list of cleared patients ready to book procedures. No Monday surprise that an approval sat in voicemail over the weekend.

Procedural Efficiency

Your scheduler sees exactly which patients have current authorizations and can book without waiting for clinical staff to retrieve insurance documents. Reduces approval-to-booking lag.

Denial Escalation

Denied prior auths are flagged for immediate clinical review. Your provider can justify medical necessity, provide peer-to-peer review, or approve appeal filing on the same day instead of playing tag with insurance.

Patient Communication Loop Closed

Instead of patients calling repeatedly to check approval status, the AI can notify them of approval or denial and next steps. One-way communication reduces follow-up call volume.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI write insurance information directly to the patient chart?

No. Insurance details—approval numbers, effective dates, and limitations—are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file. This protects chart integrity and allows clinical verification before documentation.

How does the AI know when an insurance company is calling?

The caller ID and the nature of the call (authorization status, approval number, etc.) are identifiers. If needed, the AI can ask the caller to confirm they're calling from the insurance company. Your practice trains the system on your most common insurance partners.

What if insurance calls with a denial?

Denials are flagged in the morning queue with the denial reason. Your clinical staff can immediately review, determine if appeal or peer-to-peer review is warranted, and start the process the same day instead of discovering it later.

Can patients check their prior auth status via the AI?

Yes. If a patient calls asking about their authorization, the AI can look up the status and either confirm approval or explain a denial is pending. This reduces routine callback volume.

Does it work with all insurance companies?

The AI handles any inbound caller claiming to be from an insurance company. It captures and structures the message. Your team confirms legitimacy and files the authorization. No integration with insurance systems is required.
