Patient Experience
New migraine patients arrive with incomplete or scattered medical history. An AI receptionist captures structured new-patient intake—demographics, migraine frequency, prior treatments, current medications, triggers, and insurance—on the booking call, ensuring your clinician has full context and the appointment runs on time.

Your clinician doesn't spend 15 minutes asking 'When did your migraines start?' or 'What medications have you tried?' They receive a complete new-patient summary and can dive directly into clinical assessment, treatment planning, and lifestyle adjustments.
Name, DOB, and contact details write to your EMR during the booking call. By the time the patient arrives, their chart is initialized with no demographic data entry for your staff; insurance details come back as a structured summary for your team to review and file.
The AI captures insurance details during the call and returns them as a structured summary to your billing team. Your staff can verify coverage through your standard channels before the appointment, reducing claim denials and surprises.
Clinicians who have full migraine history, prior treatment responses, and lifestyle context before the visit can make more informed decisions and develop better individualized treatment plans.

The AI asks open-ended questions and guides the patient through a timeline. If details are unclear, the AI captures what the patient does remember and notes gaps for the clinician to clarify at the appointment. It's better to say 'I don't remember the name' than to skip the question entirely.
Most new-patient migraine intakes take 5–10 minutes. The AI moves through questions efficiently, doesn't repeat information, and keeps the patient engaged. Time varies based on complexity of migraine history.
No. The AI captures insurance details and returns them as a structured summary to your billing team, who then verify coverage through your usual channels (eligibility verification, insurance website, phone call). The AI accelerates the handoff but doesn't replace your verification workflow.
Yes. The AI-generated summary is a draft for your team to review, refine, and file. Your staff can add notes, correct information, or supplement with data from insurance verification before finalizing the chart.
The AI captures as much structured detail as possible during the intake call. For complex patients (multiple comorbidities, long medication list, extensive prior treatments), the summary will be longer and may flag items for the clinician to explore further during the appointment.
