Workflow
AI identifies prior auth calls about migraine preventives and routes them to clinical staff. Front desk stays focused on appointments; clinical team handles authorization detail without delay.
Your nurses or authorization team don't have to dig through front desk messages—the call is pre-routed with the insurance question already captured and contextualized.
Appointment staff focus on scheduling and new-patient intake. Prior auth, coverage disputes, and medical necessity calls go straight to the team equipped to answer them.
Migraine preventive prescriptions often need prior auth. Routing these calls separately keeps your appointment line available for patients booking visits.
Clinical staff get insurance company name, patient ID, drug being authorized, and reason—not a vague voicemail. Fewer calls needed to resolve the issue.

The AI asks why the caller is calling: appointment booking, question about an existing appointment, refill request, migraine symptoms, or insurance/coverage question. Callers who indicate insurance or authorization issues are flagged for clinical routing.
Patient name, date of birth, phone, insurance company name, member ID, the migraine preventive being authorized (e.g., Aimovig, Emgality, Nurtec), and the caller's reason for calling—e.g., 'Checking on approval status' or 'Insurance denied; need help with appeal.'
No. Prior auth typically requires clinical judgment—e.g., confirming diagnosis code, discussing failed trials, or explaining medical necessity to insurance. Those conversations go to your clinical staff. The AI routes and provides context, speeding the handoff.
The prior auth call can be queued with priority, sent to voicemail with a dedicated callback message, or routed to a secondary clinical contact depending on your configuration.
Refill requests are typically handled separately. If a refill requires prior auth (e.g., insurance denied coverage), that call can be routed to clinical staff. Routine refills often stay in the appointment or nurse line queue.
