Intake Workflow

New patient intake on every call — Mesa practices delegate phone intake to AI, free staff for clinical work

The AI answers inbound calls, gathers insurance and demographics, confirms appointments, and sends structured intake summaries to your staff. Your team focuses on patient care, not phone forms.

How it pays back

Less form-filling in the waiting room

Intake is done on the call. Patients arrive with demographics and reason for visit already documented. Staff pulls the AI-captured summary and focuses on vital signs and clinical questions.

Staff spends clinic time on patients, not calls

Front desk doesn't take repetitive intake calls. The AI captures intake once per call. Your team checks in patients, schedules follow-ups, and handles real issues.

Insurance and demographics ready for billing

The AI captures insurance info on the call and returns it as a summary. Your billing team has it before the first visit — fewer registration delays, faster claims submission.

Morning schedule arrives with context

Your staff sees not just an appointment time, but the patient's stated reason for visit, any flags, and urgent keywords. Clinical team prepares chart and materials before the patient arrives.

Frequently asked questions

What information does the AI capture during intake?

Name, date of birth, phone number, insurance (carrier and member ID), reason for visit, current medications, allergies, and relevant medical history. All returned as a structured summary your staff can review and file into the chart.

Does the insurance information auto-populate in my EMR?

Insurance details are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary. Your staff or billing team reviews it and uploads it to your EMR. This ensures accuracy and gives your team control over data entry.

What if the patient doesn't know their insurance info?

The AI captures what the patient has (member ID, carrier name, or approximate plan name) and flags it for your team to verify before the visit. This prevents billing delays.

Can the AI recognize existing patients?

Yes. When an existing patient calls, the AI can see their record in your EMR and skip redundant questions, or ask only for updated information.

How do my staff review the intake summary?

The AI returns a call recording transcript and a structured data summary. Your staff logs into the MedReception portal to review, then uploads the summary to your EMR chart.

Does this work with our current EMR?

Yes, as long as it's one of our named integrated systems (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, ModMed, and others). Patient demographics sync directly. Your staff manages the rest of the chart.
