Intake

AI-powered new patient intake in Newark: capture details, qualify, and book in one call

Newark practices handle significant new patient call volume. AI captures intake in parallel while scheduling, then returns structured data for staff review and filing.

How it pays back

Collect more patient data on intake

The AI conducts intake in parallel with scheduling. While the caller listens to available times, questions about allergies, medications, and chief complaint are asked and recorded. Your staff receives a complete intake summary, not a name and phone number.

Structured summary ready for staff review

Captured data is returned as a structured summary. Your staff reviews it and files it into the EMR or uploads it via the MedReception portal. The patient doesn't re-enter name, DOB, or insurance at check-in.

Your front desk is free to handle complex cases

Routine new patient intake moves off the phones. Your team can focus on patients with insurance questions, special needs, or referral requirements.

Frequently asked questions

What information does the AI capture for new patients?

The AI captures name, date of birth, phone, email, insurance plan, member ID, reason for visit, medical history, allergies, current medications, and any special needs or questions. All data is returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file.

Does insurance information sync to the EMR?

Insurance plan and member ID are captured on the call and returned as part of the intake summary for your staff to review and file in the chart. Your team verifies insurance and enters it into your EMR.

Can the AI handle complex new patient calls, like referrals or workers' comp?

The AI can capture referral information and workers' comp claim details as text. For complex cases, the caller is transferred to your team. Your staff handles authorization verification and special routing.

What if a new patient doesn't have insurance?

The AI captures self-pay status and any relevant financial information. Your staff can follow up on payment arrangements or financial assistance programs based on your practice policy.

How does the AI know if someone is new to the practice?

You can configure the AI to ask if the caller is a new patient or returning. Alternatively, the AI can check your EMR for an existing patient record and treat accordingly.

Can new patients complete intake before their first appointment?

Yes. After the call, the patient receives a link to the MedReception portal where they can review and update captured information, add insurance details, and consent to treatment.
