Revenue Protection

Stop losing patient calls and revenue—24/7 AI reception answers every call, day or night

Medical practices lose revenue every time a call goes unanswered. Learn how round-the-clock AI reception captures every patient opportunity, even after hours.

How it pays back

Revenue capture on every call

Patients who reach a live voice or successfully book an appointment are far more likely to show up and pay. When calls ring unanswered, that patient often calls a competing practice instead. AI reception ensures no opportunity is lost, whether the call comes at 2 PM or 2 AM.

No staff burnout from after-hours coverage

Rotating on-call schedules exhaust small teams. AI answers and triages after-hours calls, escalating only genuinely urgent issues to your staff. Your team sleeps; the AI works.

Structured intake, ready for your staff

AI captures caller name, date of birth, phone, and reason for call on the first call. Staff receive a structured summary—not a messy voicemail—and chart review takes seconds instead of minutes.

Day or night, no voicemail dead ends

New patient intake automated

Demographics and booking written directly to EMR

Same-call handoff to on-call provider or clinical staff

EMR-independent and portable

Named integrations with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, ModMed—switch EMRs, keep your AI

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a patient calls after midnight?

The AI receptionist answers immediately, performs basic intake, and determines urgency. If the call is non-urgent (appointment request, refill question, general inquiry), the AI captures details and schedules or logs a callback for next business day. If urgent (chest pain, severe allergic reaction), the call is transferred to your on-call provider or emergency service right away.

Does the AI write clinical information to the chart?

No. The AI captures caller information—name, DOB, phone, and reason for call—and returns it as a structured summary for your staff to review and file. Clinical documentation (chief complaint, assessment, plan) remains your responsibility. The AI does write appointment bookings, new patient demographics, and contact info directly to the EMR.

How does this connect to my EHR?

The AI integrates with named EHR platforms including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. When a new patient books, their name, DOB, and phone number are written to your EMR automatically. When an existing patient calls, their chart is pulled up so the AI can reference allergies, prior visits, and active medications.

What if we don't want to use after-hours AI and prefer a voicemail service?

You can configure the AI to route after-hours calls to an external answering service instead, or to voicemail. Many practices find 24/7 AI advantageous because patients prefer reaching a live system to leaving a voicemail, and urgent issues get flagged in real time.
