New Patient Onboarding

New migraine patients book first appointments directly on the AI call—structured intake completed, appointment confirmed, no staff callback needed

New migraine patients who call your clinic expect to schedule during that call, not wait for a callback. Our AI receptionist completes new patient intake, books the first available appointment, and sends confirmation—all in one conversation without staff involvement.

How it pays back

First impression: 'You're all set'—not 'we'll call you back'

New patients book and confirm during the same call. No callback needed, no uncertainty. Conversion is locked in, and patient satisfaction starts high.

New patient record created in EMR at call time

Demographics, DOB, phone, and insurance data are written to your chart during the call. Staff arrive to an appointment that is already scheduled and partially prefilled.

Initial migraine intake already captured and structured

Callers answer questions about migraine onset, frequency, and impact during the call. The structured intake summary is prepared for the clinician to review before the visit.

No staff time spent on scheduling or intake callbacks

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI verify insurance eligibility on the call?

The AI collects insurance member ID and group number. If your EMR or practice management system has an integrated eligibility check, it runs in real time and reports coverage back to the patient. Otherwise, the information is captured for staff to verify before the appointment.

What if a new patient has a complex migraine history?

The AI captures the key details: onset, frequency, associated symptoms, impact on work/life, prior treatments. For complex cases, the AI notes that a pre-visit phone consultation with the clinician may be helpful and flags this for staff to reach out.

Can new patients choose their preferred provider?

Yes. The AI mentions available providers and their next open appointments. Patients can request a specific clinician if your practice offers that. If the preferred provider is booked, alternatives are offered.

What pre-visit information is sent after booking?

The confirmation email includes appointment details, clinic location and parking, a link to pre-visit paperwork, insurance information to bring, and what to expect during the visit (exam, testing, discussion of treatment options).

Do new patients have to repeat their intake at the office?

No. The AI intake summary is prepared for the chart. At the office, the clinician reviews it and asks follow-up questions as needed. There is no redundant paper intake form.
