Patient Experience
New patients calling a Mesa practice often get voicemail, then wait days for a callback. An AI receptionist answers the first call, answers common questions (insurance, wait times, visit prep), captures intake details, and books the appointment immediately—turning inbound interest into confirmed slots.
New patient calls Mesa practices with intent to schedule. If they hit voicemail, they often call a competitor instead. The AI books them on the first ring. Inbound new patient calls convert to appointments, not to lost revenue.
New patients ask: 'Do you take my insurance? What's the copay? Do I need a referral?' The AI knows your accepted plans and can answer in context. Patients don't hang up waiting for staff to verify; they're booked instead.
Allergies, medications, chief complaint, and appointment history are captured on the call as a structured summary. Your staff reviews and files it into the chart before the patient arrives.
Automatic confirmation texts and reminders sent to the patient's phone. New patients who received same-day appointment confirmation show up more reliably than those who wait days for a manual call.

The AI confirms your accepted insurance plans and patient copay responsibility during the call. Your staff still performs a full insurance verification pre-visit to check benefits, deductibles, and prior authorizations—but the patient is already booked and prepped.
The AI can ask the patient if they have a referral and capture that information. If a referral is required and the patient doesn't have one, the AI can note that, and your staff follows up before the visit. The appointment is still booked; you just flag the action item.
The AI can answer general questions about visit type, office procedures, and wait times. Complex medical questions are noted in the intake summary for your clinician to address pre-visit or during the appointment. The patient is never left unanswered—they're escalated to staff if needed.
Yes. The AI can ask a few screening questions during the call (medical history, current medications, allergies). If the questionnaire is lengthy, the AI can send a link via SMS for the patient to complete before arrival, saving chair time.
The AI can capture accessibility requests and ADA accommodations during the call and flag them for your staff. Staff confirms arrangements before visit. The system is designed to capture these needs so your team can prepare.
