Patient Intake

New patient calls answered with intake questions—demographics sync to Kareo, medical detail returned as structured summary for your chart

The AI asks intake questions on the call: insurance, medical history, medications, allergies. Patient name, DOB, and phone sync to Kareo; full intake summary returns as structured text for clinical review and filing.

How it pays back

New patient chart is warm before first visit

Demographics are in Kareo, intake summary is ready for your team to review and file into the chart, and your staff has time to assess medical history and allergies before the patient arrives. No chart prep scramble on arrival day.

Insurance details captured for staff verification

The AI asks for insurance info during intake; your billing staff reviews, verifies, and files it into Kareo per your standard workflow. Your verification process stays intact and ensures accuracy.

Structured intake reduces clinician rework

Rather than a rambling voicemail or handwritten note, your doctor sees organized intake: allergies, medications, chief complaint, prior surgeries. They can start from a known baseline instead of re-asking everything.

After-hours new patients don't create backlog

Evening or weekend new patient calls are fully captured. Patient is in Kareo with complete intake summary by morning. No lost data, no voicemail tag-team.

Frequently asked questions

Do insurance details go straight into Kareo?

No. Insurance information is captured during the intake call and returned as part of the structured summary. Your billing team reviews, verifies, and files it into Kareo via your standard insurance intake workflow. This preserves your verification process.

What if a new patient has complex medical history?

The AI asks standard intake questions. For complex cases, the summary flags complexity and notes that clinician review is needed before the appointment. Your team can call the patient back if additional detail is required.

How do photo IDs or insurance cards get into the system?

Patients upload them via the MedReception portal link sent after the call, or your staff can manually capture them during the appointment. Your team processes them per your credential verification workflow.

What if the new patient call comes after hours?

The AI completes the full intake, books an appointment if available, and captures all details. By the time your team arrives, the patient is in Kareo with complete intake summary ready for chart prep.

Can the intake be customized for different appointment types?

Yes. You configure intake questions by appointment type, specialty, or chief complaint. A dermatology intake is different from cardiology intake, and the AI adapts its questions accordingly.
