Frequently asked questions

Does the AI receptionist book appointments directly into my EMR?

Yes. When a patient books an appointment via phone, the appointment, name, date of birth, and phone number are written directly to your EMR calendar and patient record. Your staff does not re-enter the booking.

What patient information does the AI collect on the call?

The AI collects chief complaint, medical history, current medications, allergies, insurance carrier (for routing and prior auth support), and demographics. This data is returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file—it does not auto-populate the clinical chart.

How does it handle urgent or emergent calls?

The AI detects keywords like 'chest pain,' 'difficulty breathing,' 'severe bleeding,' or 'unconscious' and escalates immediately to your on-call provider or 911. No triage delay.

Can it work with my existing phone system and EMR?

Yes. The AI integrates with 13+ EMRs and phone platforms—Tebra, Cerner, Epic, Athenahealth, Allscripts, and others. No rip-and-replace; it layers onto your existing setup.

Does it replace my front desk staff?

No. It offloads phone volume, booking, and routine intake so your front desk can focus on check-in, insurance verification, and complex patient interactions. Most practices keep or redirect staff to higher-value work.

What languages does it support?

The AI can be trained to greet and handle calls in multiple languages, with live staff escalation for complex multi-language needs.
