Patient Intake

AI intake and appointment booking combined: new patients complete registration and book in a single inbound call.

New patients call once. AI captures demographics, medical history, insurance information, and books the appointment. New patient record created in the EMR with demographics and appointment details. No follow-up calls, no portal lag, no incomplete registrations.

How it pays back

Zero Friction New Patient Entry

New patients don't navigate multiple calls, forms, or portals. Call once, register, book, done. Highest-touch experience available.

Reduces New Patient No-Shows

Patients who book immediately are less likely to forget or cancel. Instant confirmation and reminders help lock in attendance.

Insurance Verified Fast

Insurance info is captured during the intake call, not discovered at check-in. Staff can verify while the patient is still on the line if questions arise.

Chart Populated Before Arrival

Demographic data and structured intake summary are ready when the new patient arrives. Check-in is a quick confirm-and-sign, not re-registration.

Intake, booking, and chart creation in a single call

EMR record created with demographics

Name, DOB, phone, address, and appointment details written to EMR

Insurance captured at intake

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI write insurance information to the EMR automatically?

No. Insurance info is captured during the call and returned in the intake summary for your staff. Your team verifies coverage with the insurance company, then enters or updates it in the EMR. This ensures accuracy and compliance with insurance verification requirements.

What if the patient doesn't have insurance or is uninsured?

The AI notes this in the intake summary. Your staff can discuss payment options, self-pay rates, or charity care programs before or at the appointment. No friction; the patient is still fully registered and scheduled.

Can the AI handle multi-specialty new patients (e.g., one patient seeing two providers)?

Yes. The AI can book appointments with multiple providers or schedule a multi-specialty consultation during the same call. The new patient record is created once, and all appointments are linked to that record.

What if the new patient is a minor or needs a guardian?

The AI can ask for parent/guardian information, verify consent, and collect both names in the chart. Your office can configure special workflows for pediatric or guardian-required registrations.

Do new patients need a patient portal login to complete intake?

No. Voice intake eliminates the portal friction entirely. Patients never log in; they just call and speak with the AI. All data is captured and ready in the EMR when they arrive.
