Patient Intake

Capture Every New Patient on First Call: AI Intake Automates Demographics & EMR Creation

Convert new patient calls into complete EMR records on the first interaction. AI captures demographics, insurance reference, and reason for visit—ready for staff review and chart entry.

How it pays back

Zero New Patient Data Loss on First Call

Every new patient inquiry is fully captured with demographics, contact info, and reason for visit. Incomplete intakes and lost new patient leads become impossible.

New Patient Demographics Write to EMR

Name, DOB, phone, and address write directly to your EMR from the call. Your staff no longer manually enters demographic data; they review the AI-captured summary and focus on clinical intake.

Faster Check-In, Better First Impression

New patients arrive for their first visit with their EMR record already established and populated. Check-in is faster, and your staff can immediately focus on clinical questions rather than paperwork.

Insurance Reference Captured for Billing Follow-Up

Patients provide insurance carrier, member ID, and group number on the call. Billing staff receive a structured reference summary and verify coverage through normal channels—maintaining verification workflow integrity.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a caller is a new patient?

The AI queries your EMR to check if the phone number or name matches an existing patient record. If no match is found, the caller is flagged as new and triggers the full new-patient intake workflow.

What demographic data does the AI capture for new patients?

Full name, date of birth, phone number, email address, home address, and emergency contact info. Insurance carrier, member ID, and group number are also captured. Demographic data (name, DOB, phone, address) writes to your EMR; clinical intake data (reason for visit, allergies, medical history) is returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file in the chart.

Does the new patient record write directly to the EMR?

Yes. Demographics (name, DOB, phone, address) write directly to your EMR as a new patient record. Clinical intake data (reason for visit, allergies, medical history) is captured as a summary for your staff to review and file in the chart.

Can new patients book appointments on their first call?

Absolutely. The AI presents available appointments, confirms the date and time with the patient, and writes the booking to your EMR and calendar. New patients can be scheduled and confirmed without transferring to a live staff member.

How is insurance information handled for new patients?

Insurance details (carrier, member ID, group number) are captured on the call and returned as a reference for your billing team. They verify coverage through normal processes; this information is not auto-written to the EMR.
