Patient Intake

AI new patient scheduling captures appointments and intake around the clock—no staff handoff needed

New patient callers expect to book immediately. AI captures intake, checks availability, books appointments, and writes appointment details and new patient demographics to your EMR—all while the caller is on the phone.

How it pays back

Book new patients instantly, any time

Caller reaches AI, answers intake questions, receives appointment confirmation—all within minutes. No voicemail, no callback delay, no competing practices stealing the booking.

Capture complete intake on the call

Insurance, emergency contact, medication history, reason for visit, and questionnaire answers are collected and returned as a structured summary for staff verification.

Sync new patient records to EMR automatically

New patient demographics (name, DOB, phone, address) and appointment details write directly to your EHR. Insurance details and clinical information are returned as a structured summary for staff to review and file in the chart.

Reduce new patient no-show rates

Callers who book on their first call and receive instant confirmation are more likely to show up than those who leave voicemail.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI handle all the questions a new patient needs to answer on intake?

Yes. AI can walk through standard intake forms: chief complaint, medical history, allergies, medications, insurance, emergency contact, and practice-specific questionnaires. Complex or sensitive questions can be flagged for staff callback; routine bookings close on the first call.

What if a caller's insurance information isn't in AI's database?

AI captures what the caller provides and returns it as a structured summary for staff verification. Insurance verification (eligibility, copay, coverage) can be completed by staff before the appointment or at check-in.

Does AI write the new patient record to my EMR, or just the appointment?

AI writes the appointment and new patient demographics (name, DOB, phone, address) to your EMR. Insurance details and questionnaire answers are returned as a pasteable summary for staff to review and file in the chart before the patient's visit.

What if a new patient caller has a complex medical history or urgent concern?

AI triage can identify high-priority or complex calls and route them to staff immediately, or flag them for clinician callback. Urgent or safety-sensitive calls escalate; straightforward new patient bookings complete on the AI call.

Can new patients schedule telehealth appointments through AI?

Yes. If your practice offers telehealth, AI can confirm availability for both in-person and remote visits, and book whichever the caller prefers. Appointment type and access details write to the EMR.
