Data Integration

First-time callers to your practice reach an AI that collects name, DOB, contact info, and insurance on the call — then creates a new patient record in Kareo automatically

No more 'Let me look up if you're in the system.' The AI identifies new callers, captures demographics during the conversation, and writes a new patient record to Kareo with a structured intake summary your staff can review and file.

How it pays back

New patients start their chart before their first visit

When the patient arrives, their demographics and intake summary are already in Kareo. Check-in staff confirm rather than collect, and clinical staff see the captured information before the room visit.

One-time data entry, not three or four

Caller tells the AI once. That data flows to Kareo; your team reviews and files once. No re-keying on a phone slip, no transcription errors, no 'Is your middle initial...?' follow-ups.

Insurance questions get resolved before the visit starts

The AI captures coverage info on the call. Your billing team sees this in the call summary, verifies eligibility while the patient is still on the line if needed, or follows up before the appointment.

Your clinical intake form is pre-populated

Allergies, medications, chief complaint, and family history captured on the call appear in the intake summary. Staff review and file this into Kareo's visit note template — saves time per new patient.

Frequently asked questions

What if the AI can't verify the patient is truly new?

The AI asks a verification question (e.g., 'Is this your first time calling us?' or checks the name in Kareo). If uncertain, it flags the call for your staff to review before creating a duplicate. This is rare but ensures data integrity.

Can the AI capture allergies and medications accurately?

The AI asks and records what the patient reports. For example, 'Any allergies?' The patient's answer is captured verbatim and returned in the intake summary for your clinical staff to review, verify, and file into Kareo's allergy and medication lists.

Does the AI ask about insurance during the call?

Yes. The AI asks for insurance carrier, plan name, and member ID. This is captured and returned in the intake summary. Your billing team verifies the information and updates Kareo's insurance fields to ensure accurate claims processing.

What if a new patient calls after hours and wants to schedule?

The AI captures demographics, creates the new patient record in Kareo, and books the appointment. When your office opens, the patient is already set up and on the schedule.

How does this work with Kareo's multi-location setup?

The AI asks which location the patient will visit or which provider they're calling about. The new patient record is created with the correct location assignment in Kareo.

Can the AI ask custom intake questions beyond demographics?

Yes. Your team configures the intake flow — you can add specialty-specific questions (e.g., for orthopedics: 'Which body part bothers you?' or for behavioral health: 'Is this your first therapy experience?'). Answers are captured and returned in the structured summary for your staff to review and file.
