Verify insurance before the migraine appointment—capture details on the booking call

Insurance verification doesn't have to be a separate call. When a migraine patient books via AI reception, their insurance information is captured during the conversation. Your staff verifies coverage in real time or immediately after—so no billing surprises at checkout.

How it pays back

Insurance verified before the patient sits in your chair

No surprise bill at checkout and no back-and-forth calls. Your billing team has everything they need to verify the patient's plan while they're booking the appointment.

One call, complete booking and insurance picture

Instead of calling back with 'insurance questions,' the patient provides all details during the initial booking. Your team works through verification while the appointment is being logged.

Patient knows their copay before arrival

Once insurance is verified, your staff sends the patient a confirmation text or email with expected out-of-pocket cost. No guessing on the day of the appointment.

Catch insurance issues early

If a patient's coverage is invalid, lapsed, or has a high deductible, you know immediately. Your staff can discuss options or flag it for the provider before the visit.

Member ID, group, policy holder, and employer information recorded in conversation

Verification completed same-day or next-day

Your billing team processes insurance details while the appointment is fresh

Patient notified of expected costs

Frequently asked questions

What information does the AI ask for regarding insurance?

The AI captures member ID, group number, policy holder name, employer, and whether the caller mentions any secondary coverage. This is standard information available on the insurance card.

Can the AI verify the insurance in real time?

The AI collects the information during the call. Your staff then verifies it with the insurance company or eligibility system (you have APIs for most major carriers). Verification typically happens same-day or first thing the next morning.

What if the patient doesn't have insurance?

The AI notes self-pay status and captures any relevant details (employer-sponsored benefits, health share, etc.). Your staff can then discuss payment arrangements or financial assistance options before the appointment.

Does the insurance summary go to your billing software?

The structured insurance data is returned to your team's inbox as a summary for your staff to review and verify first. Your staff then enters it into your billing system—it does not auto-sync.

How do we handle patients who don't know their insurance details?

The AI asks what they know and notes gaps. Your staff may follow up with the patient via email, text, or a quick phone call to collect the missing info. Some practices wait until check-in.
