Scheduling

Caller requests a provider; AI checks Kareo availability and books them—no caller confusion, no schedule conflicts

Multi-provider practices use complex scheduling logic in Kareo. The AI reads real-time availability, provider rotations, and block time. Callers book with the right provider, and the appointment is confirmed on the call and syncs to Kareo for staff review.

How it pays back

Eliminates front desk scheduling logic and conflicts

Instead of the front desk juggling who can see whom and when, the AI checks Kareo directly. Bookings are always accurate—no double-bookings, no missed constraints.

Callers get immediate availability without hold music

Rather than 'Let me check the schedule and call you back,' the caller hears available times within seconds. If their first-choice provider is booked, alternatives are offered live on the call.

Provider rotations and block time are automatically respected

If a provider is on vacation, at surgery, or blocked for admin time in Kareo, the AI won't book them. Your Kareo setup is the source of truth; the AI never has to be manually updated.

Works for multi-specialty and multi-location practices

Practices with pediatricians, specialists, and multiple offices can configure the AI to route calls to the right provider and location. Booking lands in the correct Kareo calendar every time.

Frequently asked questions

If a caller asks for a provider who is booked solid, what happens?

The AI offers available times with other providers in the practice. If the caller prefers to wait, the call can be escalated to your scheduling team to add to a waitlist or schedule a callback.

Can the AI handle provider-specific rules like 'new patients only' or 'established patients only'?

Yes. These rules are configured from your Kareo settings and enforced by the AI. The system knows which providers accept new patients and routes accordingly.

Does the AI book telehealth and in-person with different providers?

Yes. If different providers offer telehealth vs. in-person, the AI confirms the caller's preference and books with the appropriate provider. Telehealth and in-person slots are tracked separately in Kareo.

What if a caller insists on a provider who isn't available for weeks?

Your staff is notified of the caller's preference, and they can follow up with a waitlist placement, cancellation callback, or offer from the provider directly.
