Integration

How medical AI receptionists integrate with your EMR to book appointments and create patient records

Understand how AI reception connects to your EHR—what syncs, what doesn't, and how appointments and patient data flow into your chart system.

How it pays back

Appointment bookings are live in your EMR instantly

When the caller confirms, the appointment appears in your schedule, your provider's calendar, and your waiting room check-in system—no delay, no duplicate entries.

New patient creation is triggered automatically

If the caller is not in your system, the AI creates a new patient record with basic demographics (name, DOB, phone, email). Your staff can add insurance and complete the profile.

Intake data is structured and pasteable

Chief complaint, medical history, medications, allergies, and questionnaire answers are returned as a summary. Staff copy/paste or import into the patient chart—no re-keying.

Insurance is captured but verified by staff

The AI collects insurance information on the call. Your staff verify coverage, copay, and eligibility before the visit—workflow stays in your control.

Your EMR data never leaves your account

Integration is bi-directional but read-only for EMR data. The AI reads your schedule and patient roster; it writes only appointments and new patient demographics (name, DOB, phone, email).

Frequently asked questions

Which EMR systems work with medical AI receptionists?

The system integrates with 13+ platforms including Epic, eClinicalWorks, Athena, Tebra, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, AdvancedMD, ModMed, and others. Check the full integration list or contact support for your specific EMR.

Does the AI read my full patient chart?

The AI reads your schedule (open appointments, provider availability) and patient roster (to recognize existing patients and pull demographics). It does not read clinical notes, diagnoses, or medication lists—only what's needed to book and screen.

What appointment data flows into the EMR?

Patient name, phone, email, provider, date, time, appointment type, and reason for visit are written to the appointment slot in your EMR. The appointment appears in your schedule and can be synced to provider calendars and check-in systems.

Does insurance information auto-populate the chart?

No. Insurance information is captured on the call and provided to staff as part of the intake summary. Your staff verify coverage, copay, and eligibility before the visit. This keeps billing and insurance verification in your control.

Can my staff override or edit an appointment the AI booked?

Yes. All appointments booked by the AI appear in your EMR like any other appointment. Your staff can edit, move, or cancel them at any time.

What happens if my EMR goes down?

The AI buffers incoming calls and appointments. Once your EMR is back online, bookings sync. If integration fails, the system alerts you and queues calls for staff callback.
