Intake

Capture new migraine patient history, medication list, and trigger profile on the phone—no paper forms, no appointment delays

AI-powered new patient phone intake for migraine clinics. Structured questioning captures migraine frequency, medication history, triggers, and prior treatments, returning pasteable clinical summaries for your clinician.

How it pays back

Comprehensive history captured before first visit

New patients answer detailed questions about migraine type, pattern, triggers, prior treatments, and current medications over the phone. Your clinician receives a complete, organized summary instead of blank forms or scattered notes.

No appointment delays for form completion

Intake happens during the phone call—before the appointment. Patients arrive to their first visit ready to discuss treatment options, not filling out paperwork in the waiting room.

Insurance and prior auth identified upfront

Insurance verification and prior authorization requirements are captured during intake. Your staff knows what's needed before the patient shows up, reducing back-and-forth.

Clinician time focused on assessment and treatment

Your neurologist or headache specialist can spend the appointment on clinical evaluation and treatment planning, not re-asking history questions or transcribing notes.

New patient history structured

Migraine frequency, triggers, medication list, and prior treatments pre-documented

Insurance verified on intake call

Prior auth and coverage details flagged before appointment

Clinician summary ready

Structured notes pasteable directly into chart for review and signature

First appointment optimized

Clinician focuses on assessment and treatment planning, not data entry

Frequently asked questions

What questions does the AI ask during new patient migraine intake?

The AI asks: When did your migraines start? How often do you get them? What do they feel like? Do you have warning signs before they start? What makes them worse or better? What medications have you tried? Are you on anything for prevention? Any family history of migraines? How do they affect work, school, or daily activities? Any recent changes in migraine pattern? The AI adapts follow-up questions based on patient responses.

Can the AI identify red flags or concerning symptoms?

The AI is trained to note and flag concerning features: sudden change in migraine pattern, new worst headache of life, neurological symptoms (weakness, vision loss, speech changes), fever, or stiff neck. These are highlighted in the summary for your clinician to review and decide if urgent evaluation is needed before the scheduled appointment.

How does the AI handle patients who are already on preventive medication?

The AI captures the patient's current medications, dosages, and how long they've been taking them. It also asks about side effects or effectiveness. This information is returned in the structured summary so your clinician can assess whether current prevention is optimized or if changes are needed.

Can the intake call include allergy and comorbidity screening?

Yes. You can configure the intake script to include questions about drug allergies, other medical conditions (hypertension, cardiac disease, etc.), and medications. This ensures your clinician has the full picture before the appointment and can make safe prescribing decisions.

What if the patient doesn't want to do a phone intake and prefers a paper form?

Patients can opt out of the AI intake call. However, most practices find that patients prefer a conversation to a form—it feels more personal and the AI can skip irrelevant questions based on patient answers. If a patient insists on paper, your staff can offer a traditional intake form.

Does the intake summary sync to the EMR automatically?

The structured summary is returned to your staff as a formatted document. Your clinician reviews it, makes any notes or corrections, and files it to the patient chart. The appointment booking and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) are synced to your EMR; the clinical details (medical history, allergies, medications, symptoms, chief complaint) are captured during the call and returned as a structured summary for your team to review and file.
