Workflow

AI receptionist for Mesa practices — never miss a new patient call or referral

New patient calls are your growth source. An AI receptionist qualifies, books, and captures intake on every inbound call from Mesa-area callers — even during lunch and after-hours.

How it pays back

Convert more referrals into scheduled visits

Referral calls from neighboring urgent cares, hospitals, and practitioners often go to voicemail. An AI receptionist captures the referring provider's name, patient details, and urgency in real time and books immediately into your EMR.

Reduce new patient drop-off after initial contact

When a new patient reaches someone (human or AI) who schedules them in the same call, they are more likely to show up. Voicemail callbacks are a friction point; answering immediately bridges that gap.

Qualify callers before they hit your schedule

The AI asks: 'Are you a new patient or established?' 'What's the reason for your visit?' This filters out wrong-number calls and directs urgent cases to your on-call provider or urgent-care pathway.

Capture complete intake without double-entry

Phone number, date of birth, insurance carrier name, and chief complaint are recorded on the call. Staff review and file the structured summary — no manual re-entry from paper or voicemail.

Every new patient call answered

No missed referrals, no busy signals

Appointment booked to EMR in real time

Direct calendar sync; no scheduling backlog

Intake captured in one call

Structured summary ready for staff chart entry

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle new patient forms?

The AI collects foundational data on the call: name, DOB, phone, reason for visit, insurance carrier name. For more detailed forms (medical history, medications, allergies), you can send a portal link after booking, or staff can collect that in-person at check-in.

What if the caller wants to speak to a doctor before booking?

The AI can escalate to a nurse or clinician if requested. Most callers book with the AI directly. For complex cases, escalation happens within seconds.

How do you track referral source?

The AI asks 'Who referred you?' or 'How did you hear about us?' and captures the provider or source name. That detail is included in the new patient summary sent to your EMR for attribution.

Can you book new patients if we have no availability?

Yes. The AI can offer a waitlist slot, callback with next available, or same-day urgent routing if clinically appropriate. You decide the workflow.
