Workflow
Interventional pain schedules are complex: epidural steroid injections, facet blocks, and nerve blocks often fill weeks ahead. A same-day cancellation wastes an expensive procedure slot. An AI receptionist reschedules cancellations, finds alternative dates, and confirms patients automatically—recovering lost revenue.
A same-day cancellation for a facet block leaves a procedure slot empty. The AI reschedules the canceling patient or contacts a waitlist candidate within minutes—turning a lost slot into a booked procedure.
Patients who reschedule via AI (not staff callback days later) confirm their new date immediately and receive automated reminders. Confirmation and reminder compliance reduce no-shows on rescheduled slots.
Your staff maintains a waitlist in the EMR. When a slot opens via cancellation, the AI can check the waitlist, contact eligible waiting patients, and book them—all without staff intervention.
Every cancellation is logged with reason, time, patient response, and rescheduling outcome. This data helps you identify trends (e.g., patients canceling 24 hours before) and adjust your pre-procedure confirmation protocol.

The AI reads your EMR or practice management system in real time. When a cancellation call comes in, it queries open slots for the requested procedure type (e.g., lumbar epidural) and presents the next available dates and times to the caller.
Yes, if your practice has multiple providers or locations. The AI can be configured to offer slots across your entire network, or restricted to specific providers or locations based on your preferences.
The AI notes the refusal and flags the cancellation for your staff. If the patient wants to speak to a staff member or requests a callback, the AI captures their preference and creates a task for your front desk.
When a procedure slot opens, the AI can retrieve your waitlist from the EMR (sorted by date added or procedure type) and contact the first eligible patient. If they confirm, the slot is booked; if they decline, the AI moves to the next waitlist candidate.
Yes. Once the patient confirms a new date with the AI, an appointment confirmation (with date, time, location, provider name, and pre-procedure instructions) is sent via SMS or email, depending on your setup.
