How it pays back

Stop losing callers to voicemail

Callers who reach a human (or live AI) book at higher rates than those encountering voicemail or lengthy phone trees. Every answered call is a conversion opportunity.

Reduce call-to-appointment time

Booking in one call eliminates callback delays and uncertainty. Patients are confirmed and excited to attend; no-show risk drops.

Expand new patient panel

Converted callers are new patients. Practices that answer all calls and book immediately see growth in scheduled new patients.

Improve staff efficiency

Staff spend zero time on new patient phone intake; they focus on check-in verification and patient care. Incoming calls no longer interrupt clinical work.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which appointment slots are available?

The AI syncs your schedule from your EMR in real time. It sees which providers are open, how long appointments take, and which time slots are available. When a caller selects a time, the AI books it directly into your schedule.

Can the AI qualify whether a new caller should be scheduled with a specific provider?

Yes. You can set rules based on the caller's reason for visit. For example, if they report a skin concern, the AI can route them to your dermatologist. If they're a first-time patient and have no preference, the AI books with the first available provider.

What if a caller isn't sure about their availability?

The AI can offer multiple appointment times and ask the caller to choose. If none work, the AI offers to place them on a waitlist or suggest telehealth. The goal is to reach a confirmed booking, but flexibility is built in.

Does the AI collect insurance information during the new patient call?

Yes, the AI asks for insurance carrier, member ID, and group number during the call. That information is captured in a structured summary returned to your staff for verification and eligibility checks at check-in or before the visit.

Can we customize the booking confirmation message?

Yes. You control the confirmation template, including appointment details, location, parking info, pre-visit instructions, and any required forms. Confirmations are sent via SMS, email, or both based on patient preference.

What happens if the caller has a complex question the AI can't answer?

The caller can press a key or say 'agent' to transfer to your staff at any point. The AI passes along everything captured so far—caller name, appointment requested, reason for visit—so staff don't have to re-ask questions.
