Turn a phone call into a complete new patient record—demographics, intake, insurance—without requiring paper or email

New migraine patients often delay booking because of complex intake forms. AI reception captures everything on the initial call: name, date of birth, insurance, medical history, medications—creating a structured summary that your staff verifies and files, ready for the neurologist's first visit.

How it pays back

Zero friction between call and appointment

A new patient calls to book. By the end of the call, they have an appointment, and your staff has a complete intake summary ready to verify and file. No 'please fill out our 10-page form and email it back'—patient is in the system immediately.

Insurance verification starts before the appointment

Your staff has the insurance info captured on the call. They can check coverage, deductible, and prior auth requirements before the patient arrives. No billing surprises after the visit.

Your neurologist walks in prepared

Instead of a blank chart, the provider sees: current regimen (e.g., propranolol + naproxen as needed), failed preventives (topiramate—cognitive side effects), imaging history (MRI brain 18 months ago, normal). History is already documented; the visit focuses on exam and planning.

Panel growth accelerated

Low-friction new patient booking means more callers complete intake and book. Your neurologist's schedule fills with prepared, onboarded patients—not no-shows or reschedulers struggling with pre-visit paperwork.

Frequently asked questions

If the AI captures everything on the call, what does my staff do?

Your staff reviews the structured summary, verifies key details (especially insurance, allergies, prior treatments), asks follow-up questions if needed, and files the intake into the patient record. You maintain clinical oversight and quality control. The AI saves time by not requiring the patient to fill out a form or repeat information.

What if a new patient doesn't want to provide insurance on the phone?

The system is flexible. If a patient prefers not to share insurance details on the call, they're not forced. That information is captured as 'to be provided at check-in' and your front desk collects it at the appointment. But most patients prefer handling it during the call to avoid check-in delays.

Does the patient's information automatically populate the entire EMR chart?

No. Appointment booking and basic demographics (name, DOB, phone) are created in your EMR as a new patient record. Medical history, medications, allergies, and insurance details are returned as a structured summary that your staff reviews, verifies, and files into the chart per your workflow. Clinical details don't auto-populate; your team is always in control.

How is insurance information secured during the call?

The call is HIPAA-encrypted end-to-end. Insurance data is captured as part of the secure call recording and summary, then stored in your practice's secure environment. Your staff accesses it from your EMR or portal, just like any other patient record.

Can a new patient reschedule their appointment right after booking it?

Yes. If during the call or confirmation, the patient wants to change the appointment date, they can say so and the AI offers available slots. Changes sync to your EMR immediately.
