Frequently asked questions

How does the AI receptionist know which Kareo slots are available?

The AI has real-time read access to your Kareo schedule. It queries available times based on provider, location, and appointment type, then confirms the slot before booking.

Can the AI receptionist schedule with specific providers or locations?

Yes. You can configure which providers and locations the AI should offer to callers. Patients can request a specific provider, and the AI will show only that provider's available times.

What if a patient wants to reschedule an existing Kareo appointment?

The AI can look up the patient's existing appointment in Kareo, cancel it, and book a new one — all in the same call. The Kareo calendar is updated immediately.

Do appointment details (chief complaint, visit type) get recorded in Kareo?

Appointment type, date, time, and patient contact details are written to Kareo. Chief complaint and reason for visit are captured during the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file—not auto-populated into the chart. This ensures clinical accuracy and your team's oversight.

What happens if the Kareo connection drops during a booking?

The AI will inform the patient that it's having trouble accessing the schedule and offer to take their information and call them back within an hour with confirmation. Your staff is alerted to the pending booking.
