Kareo Integration

How AI receptionist captures new patient information on the call while keeping compliance in staff hands

The AI receptionist collects caller name, date of birth, phone number, and appointment details during the call and creates a new patient record in Kareo. Insurance and photo ID are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to verify and file.

How it pays back

New Patient Record Exists Before Arrival

When a new patient arrives for their first appointment, their demographics are already in Kareo. Check-in is faster; staff time shifts from form collection to clinical prep.

Structured Intake Replaces Paper Stacks

Instead of asking the patient to fill out a clipboard, the AI conducts a conversational intake on the booking call. Your coordinator receives a formatted summary ready to verify and file.

Insurance Verification Stays in Staff Control

Insurance cards and ID are collected but kept outside the chart until your team verifies coverage and consent. This keeps compliance audits clean and reduces rejected claims.

Faster Appointment Prep

Your clinical team reviews the AI's intake summary before the patient arrives, so the appointment starts on time with full context—not a rushed form review mid-visit.

Frequently asked questions

If the AI captures insurance information on the call, why doesn't it go into the Kareo chart?

Insurance data requires verification and compliance review—checking for active coverage, plan limits, and authorization rules. Your staff review the AI's capture, verify it against the insurer, and file it correctly to avoid claims rejection.

What if a new patient doesn't provide complete information on the booking call?

The AI captures what the caller provides (name, DOB, phone, appointment time) and marks incomplete fields for your staff to confirm at check-in. Your intake coordinator will have a partial record and a note about what's missing.

Can the AI ask medical questions like allergies, medications, and prior surgeries?

Yes. The AI can conduct a conversational intake using questions you configure. Answers are returned as a structured summary for your staff to review, verify, and document into Kareo's clinical sections.

Does the new patient record include consent to treat and HIPAA acknowledgment?

The AI can obtain verbal consent and acknowledgment during the call, which is captured as a summary. Your staff review the record and file formal signed documents at check-in as part of your standard compliance workflow.

How does this work for patients who don't speak English fluently?

The AI supports multilingual intake. Your team configures preferred languages; the AI conducts the intake in the caller's language and returns a structured English summary for your staff.
