Workflow
Newark practices lose calls after 5pm and on weekends. Capture every after-hours caller, route urgent cases to on-call staff, and book appointments for the next day.
Routine questions, new patient intake, and scheduling requests are handled by AI. Your on-call provider receives only escalated cases that need clinical judgment or callbacks.
A caller at 9pm can reach your practice, speak to an AI, and walk away with a confirmed appointment. They don't have to call back on Monday.
Your team starts each morning with a structured summary of after-hours calls: new patients to contact, urgency flags, and appointment confirmations. Everything is organized and ready for action.
Non-urgent calls no longer interrupt sleep. Your on-call team handles only cases that matter, improving retention and morale.

The AI asks targeted questions about symptoms, pain level, or situation. Keywords like chest pain, difficulty breathing, or severe injury trigger immediate escalation to your on-call provider. Your practice sets the urgency rules.
You define fallback options: send to a second provider, page a nurse, or offer an urgent care address. The caller always gets a next step, never voicemail.
Yes. The AI checks your EMR availability and offers the next open time during business hours. The caller confirms, and the appointment holds until morning for final confirmation.
After-hours service is included with the AI receptionist. You pay one monthly fee for 24/7 coverage. No call-by-call charges.
Weekends are treated like after-hours. The AI captures calls and holds appointments for Monday morning, or routes urgent cases to your on-call team.
