Patient Onboarding

Capture new patient intake data on the first call instead of losing callers to voicemail

When an AI receptionist answers a new patient call, intake happens immediately during the conversation. Demographics and chief complaint are collected and ready for your team before the patient hangs up. Insurance information is captured and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review.

How it pays back

Zero Voicemail Dead Ends for New Patients

New patient calls are answered live. Intake happens during the conversation. Your team never has to chase down incomplete messages or call patients back to collect missing information.

Appointment Books with Verified Details

By the time the call ends, you have a confirmed appointment, verified contact information, and a triage-ready patient summary. No back-and-forth emails or follow-up calls needed.

Insurance Information Captured for Review

Coverage and authorization details are captured during the intake call and returned as a structured summary. Your billing team can review and verify before the patient arrives for their first visit.

Frequently asked questions

What if a new patient calls after hours?

The AI receptionist answers after hours, captures intake, and books the appointment for the next available time. Your team receives the complete intake summary the following morning. No voicemail backlog or Monday morning call deluge.

Can the AI handle new patient calls during lunch or high-volume times?

Yes. The AI answers every inbound call simultaneously, so new patient inquiries never queue or go to voicemail. Callers complete intake and book during their preferred call time.

Does the AI ask for insurance if the patient doesn't have it?

The AI asks about insurance coverage as part of intake. If a patient declines or doesn't have it, that's noted in the summary. Your front desk can discuss payment options at check-in or the provider can address it during the visit.

What if the patient's insurance information changes or is wrong?

The intake summary is delivered to your team for review. If information is incorrect or outdated, your staff can call the patient to verify before the appointment. The summary flags these issues for your team to double-check.

How does this work if the new patient is calling to ask questions before booking?

The AI can answer common questions about hours, location, insurance, and services. If the patient wants to book, intake flows naturally from the conversation. If they just need info, the call ends without pressure—they can call back when ready.
