Patient Access
Mesa medical practices lose patient revenue when calls go unanswered during lunch, absences, or after-hours. An AI receptionist answers every incoming call and books appointments directly.
A live voice answers immediately. New patients and existing patients calling with urgent needs hear a competent receptionist, not a voicemail box. That eliminates the silent patient loss that happens now.
During lunch, staff illness, or peak call volume, the AI receptionist independently confirms appointments and writes them to your EMR. Staff return to a full schedule, not a backlog of voicemails.
Mesa practices rarely hire dedicated after-hours staff. Your AI receptionist fields after-hours calls, captures urgent requests, and escalates true emergencies to your on-call provider — all for a fraction of hiring costs.
Your front desk can focus on in-person check-in, insurance verification, and chart prep instead of spending half the day on the phone. This improves staff satisfaction and in-person patient experience.
Urgent calls escalated
Same-day sick requests and after-hours emergencies routed to your on-call team
Appointment write-back
Confirmed appointments and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) flow directly to your EMR
Structured intake summary
Patient questionnaire, insurance company, and reason for visit captured on the call and returned as EMR-pasteable summary for staff review
Many patients are satisfied with AI answering when it's fast, competent, and can book an appointment. The key difference: they reach someone immediately instead of hearing a voicemail. If they prefer to speak to your staff, the AI can transfer the call.
The AI recognizes the request, captures the patient's information, and escalates the call to your staff. Your team then calls the patient back with an answer. This is much better than the patient waiting on hold or being transferred multiple times.
No. The AI integrates with your existing phone system and EMR. Calls are routed to the AI during configured hours; your team continues using your current workflow.
Yes. You configure the hours when the AI answers. Many Mesa practices start with after-hours coverage, then expand to lunch hours and peak call times as they see the benefit.
The AI receptionist integrates with named EMR systems including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. If you move to a new system, we reconfigure the integration so calls and appointments flow to your new EMR without interruption.
