Workflow
Insurance approval delays block procedure scheduling. MedReception AI asks about coverage and prior auth needs during intake, flags payer-specific requirements, and routes to your billing team—so approvals are tracked from day one.
Billing team doesn't wait for appointment confirmation to start prior auth. They have complete intake data and payer details on the same day the call comes in.
Callers with workers' comp or Medicare Advantage plans trigger a workflow alert so billing prioritizes their authorization. No surprises the day before surgery.
Payer name, member ID, plan type, and special requirements are captured once during intake and passed to billing, scheduling, and clinical staff. No re-verification needed.
Structured intake shows exactly when authorization was requested, what was asked, and when it was documented. Supports appeal letters and regulatory inquiries.

Payer name, member ID, plan type, and authorization requirements collected during intake call
Prior auth routed to billing queue
Authorization requests sent to billing team with complete intake summary for immediate payer contact
High-risk payers auto-flagged

Structured summary for staff review
Insurance details and authorization flags returned for clinical and scheduling team coordination
The AI asks about insurance coverage and prior auth needs during new patient intake and pre-procedure calls. For established patients with known coverage, the question is skipped unless a procedure or plan change is noted.
The AI captures the caller's name, date of birth, and any plan information they remember. This is returned to billing as a partial summary, and your team follows up for complete details before contacting the payer.
No. The AI captures all required information and routes it to your billing team, who contact the payer. This ensures compliance with your payer agreements and maintains relationship continuity with insurers.
The AI identifies workers' comp claims during intake and flags them for immediate routing to your billing team. Workers' comp often has unique authorization timelines and requirements, so early flagging prevents procedure delays.
Insurance details are captured during the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file. Your staff enters insurance into your practice management system; the AI does not write insurance data directly to the EMR to maintain data integrity and compliance.
