Primary care in Mesa: AI receptionist for new patient scheduling and intake

Primary care practices struggle to convert new patient callers into scheduled appointments. An AI receptionist captures their name, insurance, and preferences on the first call, then returns structured intake data for your team to review and file.

How it pays back

Convert more new patient callers into appointments

New patients calling for the first time want fast, friendly service. An AI receptionist answers immediately, asks the right questions, and books them same-call without making them wait on hold or call back.

Complete intake before the first visit

Your new patients answer intake questions on the scheduling call. Their medical history, allergies, current medications, and insurance details are captured and returned as a structured summary. Your staff reviews and files it into the chart — no pen and paper in the waiting room.

Insurance verification starts faster

Insurance information is captured on the call and handed to your billing team immediately. They can verify coverage and pre-authorization before the patient's visit.

Frequently asked questions

What information does the AI capture from a new patient?

Name, date of birth, phone number, email, address, insurance information, primary care preferences, and availability preferences are written to your EMR. Medical history, current medications, allergies, and chief complaint are captured as a structured summary for your staff to review and file.

Does the AI complete a full medical history questionnaire?

The AI conducts a structured intake covering major medical history, surgeries, medications, allergies, and family history. Detailed clinical documentation is completed by staff during or before the visit. The AI's summary is a starting point that saves your team time.

How is insurance information handled securely?

Insurance details are captured on the call and encrypted immediately. This information is handed to your billing team securely and is not stored in the call recording. All data handling complies with HIPAA.

Can the AI handle complex scheduling (multiple offices, provider preferences)?

Yes. You configure provider availability, office locations, visit types, and scheduling rules. The AI respects all preferences and books into the right slot. Patients can also request specific providers or times.

What if a new patient has a medical emergency during the call?

The AI is trained to recognize emergency keywords (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe injury, etc.) and immediately escalate to your clinical staff or transfer to 911. Your protocols control the escalation.

How does this compare to a paper intake form?

Paper forms are completed in the waiting room after arrival, delaying care and creating bottlenecks. AI intake happens on the scheduling call — data is complete, accurate, and ready for your team before the patient arrives.
