AI handles inbound calls, checks Kareo availability, and books appointments. Your staff focuses on chart prep, prior auth, and patient care—not phone queues.

Your staff stops context-switching between calls, charts, and prior auth. Booking calls are handled by AI; your team can finish chart preparation, insurance verification, and recall management without interruption.
Callers reach a live voice immediately. They don't wait on hold, hear voicemail, or call back three times. Every call is answered and resolved or escalated in real time.
Appointments booked into Kareo instantly reduce scheduling errors, double-bookings, and staff confusion about availability.
Your clinicians start their day with an accurate Kareo calendar. No manual corrections, no 'surprise' double-booked appointments caused by miscommunication.

Urgent calls only reach your desk; routine calls resolved by AI
Yes. Your team manages schedule optimization, handles complex cases (e.g., multi-visit workflows, insurance pre-authorization), and fields patient questions the AI cannot resolve. Your staff becomes a bottleneck resolver and care coordinator, not a booking dispatcher.
The AI explains the closest available option and offers alternatives. If the caller insists on speaking to a staff member about special arrangements, the call escalates to your team.
That depends on your practice size and call volume. Typical practices find that booking and routine inquiry calls account for a significant portion of inbound volume. AI handles all of these automatically.
Yes. If no suitable appointment is open, the AI can add the caller to a waitlist or callback list. Your staff monitors the list and reaches out when a cancellation opens up.
Minimal training is required. Your staff stops answering routine calls and focuses on escalated cases, chart management, and insurance work. A 30-minute orientation clarifies which calls route where.
