Migraine Care

Structured referral intake that captures referring provider notes, prior imaging, and medication trials before the first visit

Migraine specialists receive referrals from primary care, urgent care, and ER—often with incomplete or inconsistent prior documentation. Patients arrive without records of prior imaging (MRI, CT), medication trials, or previous specialist visits. AI-guided referral intake on the initial call captures referrer details, imaging history, medication trials, and prior imaging status, ensuring your specialist has complete context before the first appointment.

Referral call captures referring provider name, facility, and chief reason for referral (first-time migraine workup, refractory to preventives, progression, secondary concern)
Medication trial history structured: which preventives were tried, at what doses, for how long, and why discontinued (efficacy, side effects, patient preference)
Imaging history captured: prior MRI, CT, or other imaging, when performed, and results or whether imaging is needed
Red flags from referrer noted: secondary headache concerns, progressive features, medication overuse risk, or family history of aneurysm
Insurance authorization status checked and prior auth requests initiated if needed before the first appointment
Complete referral summary and intake packaged into a pre-visit brief that your specialist reviews to prioritize first-appointment time

How it pays back

Specialist sees complete medication trial history before the visit

Instead of asking 'What preventives have you tried?', your specialist receives a structured list of previous medications, doses, durations, and outcomes. This eliminates duplicate prescribing and focuses the visit on next-step treatment.

Imaging workup is planned, not improvised

AI determines whether the patient has had prior imaging and what was found. Your specialist can decide if repeat or new imaging is needed before the appointment, saving time and reducing unnecessary repeat studies.

Prior authorization is obtained proactively

Insurance approval for imaging, procedures, or certain preventives is flagged during the intake call. Your staff can initiate authorization before the visit, reducing delays in treatment and patient frustration.

Secondary headache red flags are surfaced

If the referrer noted concerns (sudden worst headache, progressive features, fever, vision changes), the specialist knows immediately. The first visit is focused, and any urgent workup is prioritized.

Referral details captured on intake call

Referring provider, reason for referral, and referring facility logged and structured for specialist review

Medication trial history structured

Prior preventives, doses, duration, and outcomes documented and presented to specialist in pre-visit summary

Imaging history and imaging needs determined

Prior imaging identified; repeat or new imaging decisions made before appointment

Prior authorization initiated

Insurance approval for imaging or procedures flagged and requested during intake call

Frequently asked questions

How does AI capture medication trial details accurately?

The AI asks structured questions: 'Did you take a blood pressure medication for prevention—like a beta-blocker or channel blocker?', 'Do you remember the name or dose?', 'How long did you take it?', 'Did it help, or did you stop it for another reason?' Patient answers are recorded and structured. Your staff can clarify any unclear details, but most trial history is captured accurately on the first call.

What if the patient had imaging done years ago and doesn't remember the results?

The AI logs that imaging was done and the approximate year. Your specialist can then request records from the prior facility or order current imaging if clinically indicated. Either way, you have a baseline instead of ordering unnecessary repeat imaging.

Can the AI request records from the referring provider's office?

The AI doesn't request records directly, but it logs the referring provider's name and facility, and notes key prior information from the patient. Your staff can then submit formal records requests to the referrer. Having the referrer's details from the intake call makes this process faster.

How does this speed up the first specialist visit?

Your specialist receives a pre-visit summary that includes referring reason, prior medication trials, imaging status, and insurance details. Instead of using the first 15 minutes gathering history, the specialist spends that time on physical exam, decision-making, and treatment planning.

What happens if the patient doesn't have insurance authorization yet?

The AI flags this during intake and notes what authorization is needed (imaging, procedures, specific preventive drugs). Your billing staff can initiate the prior auth request immediately, sometimes while the patient is still on the call. This typically speeds approval by hours or days.
