Patient Intake

Eliminate the intake backlog: AI captures data on the call, returns structured summary for staff review and filing

Stop asking new patients to arrive early. AI captures intake during the booking call and writes appointment and demographics to your EMR automatically. Your clinical team opens the chart minutes after the call ends.

How it pays back

Eliminate 'please arrive 15 minutes early' for paperwork

Intake is done before the patient books. When they check in, they're ready for the clinical team. No waiting, no wasted chair time, no frustrated patients.

Your clinical team sees a complete chart at a glance

Instead of opening a blank chart and starting an interview from scratch, the provider walks in with medical history, allergies, current meds, and chief complaint already documented. Saves time and reduces clinical errors.

Insurance information captured for verification

Insurance data is captured during the call and handed to your front desk as part of the intake summary. Your team can verify coverage before the visit. No billing surprises, no claim denials due to eligibility gaps.

No staff overtime for chart prep the night before

Data is ready the moment it's captured. No need for someone to come in early to pre-populate charts or chase down missing information.

Frequently asked questions

When exactly does the data get to my EMR?

Appointment details (time, date, new patient flag) and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) are written to your EMR immediately after the call. The intake summary (chief complaint, medical history, medications, allergies) is returned to your staff within seconds as a structured, pasteable summary ready to review and file. Most practices report the entire patient record is populated before the appointment starts.

What if a new patient has a complex medical history?

The AI captures what it can during the call and flags items for clinical follow-up. Your staff can call the patient the day before the appointment to fill in details, or the provider can address it during the visit. Either way, the basic history and chief complaint are already documented.

Does this work for walk-ins or urgent care visits?

For scheduled appointments, yes—intake happens when they call to book. Walk-ins can complete a rapid intake form or brief verbal intake with your staff on arrival. The workflow is designed primarily for scheduled new patients.

What if the patient cancels after intake is captured?

The patient record is created but the appointment is cancelled in your EMR. The data remains in the chart for future reference if they reschedule. No wasted effort—the information is there if they return.

Does the patient have to provide insurance during the phone call?

Not required, but strongly encouraged. The AI will ask; if the patient prefers to provide it at check-in, they can. However, capturing it on the call allows your team to verify coverage before the visit and avoid surprises.
