Frequently asked questions

Can the AI receptionist route urgent calls to my on-call provider?

Yes. You define urgency keywords and symptoms (e.g., chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding). When detected, the system sends an SMS alert or phone notification to your on-call clinician with caller details and can transfer the call live if configured.

What happens if a patient calls at 2 a.m. and wants an appointment?

The AI receptionist checks your EMR schedule, finds the next available appointment (or slots them for first-thing Monday if urgent), and confirms the booking. The appointment appears in your calendar immediately—no staff needed.

Do I need to pay on-call staff extra for this?

No. The AI receptionist handles all routine calls, intake, and basic triage. On-call staff only receive alerts for genuinely urgent cases, and they can respond to alerts without picking up every after-hours call.

Can it handle new patient intake after hours?

Yes. The AI captures name, date of birth, phone, and reason for visit. New patient records with appointment and demographic details are created in your EMR. Caller allergies, medications, insurance information, and clinical details are logged as a structured summary for staff to review and file—no re-entry needed.

What if we're closed on Sundays but want calls on Saturday night?

You set the exact hours. The AI receptionist follows your schedule precisely—active on Saturday 5 p.m. to midnight, silent on Sunday, back on Monday at 8 a.m., whatever you need.
