Insurance & Prior Auth

Capture insurance questions, prior auth requests, and medication coverage inquiries during calls

Migraine patients often call about preventive medication coverage or prior authorization requirements. AI-handled calls capture these administrative questions and route them to billing, reducing front-desk hold times and administrative overhead.

How it pays back

Front desk freed from insurance call load

Routine insurance and prior auth calls are handled by AI. Front desk focuses on scheduling and check-in, not holding for insurance rep callbacks.

Faster response to prior auth requests

Insurance questions are captured and flagged immediately. Billing staff prioritize urgent prior auth requests without human routing delay.

Fewer patient callbacks

AI captures insurance details, policy numbers, and action items on the first call. Billing doesn't need to call back asking for clarification.

Administrative tasks logged and tracked

Each insurance call generates a summary attached to the patient record. Your team sees what was asked, when, and what action is pending.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know when to escalate an insurance call to a human?

The AI is configured to attempt basic intake: capturing insurance info, medication name, and provider request. If the patient needs a real-time conversation with an insurance rep or billing specialist, the AI offers to transfer. If transfer is declined, a summary is queued for callback.

Can the AI check real-time coverage with the insurance company?

No. The AI captures what the patient is asking and documents it. Your billing staff use your insurance verification tools to check coverage in real time. The AI summary speeds up the lookup by organizing the patient's question.

What happens if prior authorization is denied?

The call summary flags the prior auth request. Your staff reviews the denial, consults with the clinician about alternatives (different medication, generic option), and follows your appeal process. The AI call summary is attached to the patient record for continuity.

Is insurance information kept secure?

Yes. Insurance details captured on the call are returned in a structured summary for your staff to review and file per your compliance policy. Insurance data handling is managed by your team. All call data is encrypted and audit-logged.
