Workflow
Migraine patients calling for specialized treatment (Botox, CGRP, neuromodulation) often require prior authorization. AI captures insurance details and medication history during intake, hands structured data to your staff for eligibility verification and PA processing.
By capturing insurance and prior medications during intake, your billing team can submit PA requests immediately. Treatment can often begin on appointment day instead of forcing the patient to return later.
Eligibility verification before the visit surfaces plan restrictions (e.g., 'plan requires 3 failed preventives before CGRP approval'). Your clinical team can plan accordingly instead of discovering the barrier during treatment.
Structured insurance data captured by AI means your billing team receives formatted, ready-to-enter information. No phone tag, no data entry errors, no re-verification calls to the patient.
Faster PA turnaround means treatment begins sooner and claims are submitted faster. Cash flow and appointment throughput improve.
Patients learn during the call whether a PA is needed and roughly how long it will take. No appointment-day shock; expectations are set upfront.
Insurance details captured
Carrier, plan, subscriber ID, and group number recorded during intake for staff verification
Prior auth requirements flagged
Known PA thresholds (e.g., failed preventives for CGRP) noted for billing team action
Structured summary to billing
Insurance info and medication history formatted and handed to your staff for EMR entry
PA requests submitted early
Eligible patients have authorizations in progress or complete before appointment date
No. The AI captures insurance information and primary medications during the call and structures it into a summary. Your billing staff verify coverage, check copays, and submit PA requests using their standard eligibility verification platform (e.g., your payer portal, Availity, CareCredit verification system).
The AI records what the patient knows (carrier name, subscriber ID, date of birth) and notes that the card info is incomplete. Your staff follow up with the patient via phone or patient portal to collect full details before verification.
By knowing the medication the patient needs (from their intake history and current clinical context), your billing team can immediately submit a PA request to the insurer. Instead of waiting until the day of the appointment, you have days to obtain approval.
Your clinical team documents eligibility (e.g., failed preventive medications) in the call summary. Your billing team submits the PA with the supporting documentation. The patient is contacted with an estimate of approval timing.
The AI returns a structured summary to your staff. Your billing team enters it into the patient's EMR record, insurance verification portal, and any claims system you use. Nothing is auto-filed; your team controls the EMR entry.
The AI cannot query the payer's system. It captures the insurance plan name and membership details so your staff can look up coverage in your verification platform. Most plans require prior authorization and documentation of failed preventive medications.
