New Patient Setup

How AI reception captures new patient demographics for Kareo and returns medical history as a structured summary—zero manual entry needed

New patients call, provide details once, and their demographics (name, DOB, contact info) are written to Kareo. Medical history and chief complaint are captured and returned as a structured summary for your team's review before the first appointment.

How it pays back

Chart opens with core demographics on day one

By the time your front desk schedules the appointment, the new patient record in Kareo already has name, date of birth, and phone. No manual chart creation, no duplicate entry.

Intake summary ready for staff review before clinical contact

Medical history, medications, and presenting complaint are captured on the phone and returned to your team as a structured, pasteable note. A staff member reviews it before the patient walks in the door—ready to file in the chart.

Insurance details documented on first contact

Insurance questions are asked during the call and documented in the intake summary. Your billing team has the information immediately to begin verification before the appointment, reducing delays at check-in.

Appointment never gets lost in transition

The call that books the appointment is the same call that creates the Kareo record and captures intake. One interaction, end-to-end—no handoff delays or dropped appointments.

Frequently asked questions

What if a new patient doesn't have all their medical history ready?

The AI documents what's available and flags incomplete sections in the intake summary. Your team can follow up before the appointment or complete it during the first visit. Nothing is lost.

Does the AI ask for insurance on the new patient call?

Yes, if your practice protocol includes it. The AI asks standard insurance questions and captures the information. It's returned in the intake summary for your billing team to verify and process.

Can new patients schedule their own appointment, or does staff confirm?

The AI offers available slots and confirms the selection on the call. The appointment writes to your Kareo calendar in real-time. Your staff can see booked times immediately and reach out to confirm if needed.

What if the caller wants to speak to someone immediately instead of completing intake?

The AI recognizes urgency or patient preference and can escalate to your staff at any point. The patient's call information is handed over with context—nothing is lost in the transfer.
