Workflow

Capture pain history and insurance questions on the call; hand off structured data to your staff

Pain management intake and insurance inquiries are captured during the call as structured summaries. Your staff review, verify, and action—eliminating repeat patient questioning and back-and-forth voicemail.

How it pays back

Staff review structured summary, not voicemail

Instead of listening to rambling messages, your team sees a clean, organized intake summary ready to file or action.

Prior auth research starts with caller context

Insurance questions include clinical detail: 'Caller asking if plan covers medial branch block; last ESI was 8 months ago.' Staff can research more accurately.

No repeat intake at first appointment

Intake is done on the call. When patient arrives, your clinical staff starts with history already captured and verified.

Workers' comp cases tracked from intake

Employer, claim number, and date of injury documented on the call. No missing eligibility data at appointment time.

Pharmacy coordination faster

Medication refill requests include patient's current regimen and last fill date. Pharmacist and staff have context to verify and authorize.

Intake captured on the call

Pain history, medications, allergies, insurance structured and ready for staff review

Insurance questions documented with context

Prior auth research starts with caller's clinical detail and plan questions

No repeat phone calls for missing data

Structured handoff eliminates 'call them back' loops

EMR-ready summaries

Staff paste directly into chart; no manual transcription

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI handle workers' compensation intake?

Yes. The AI captures employer name, claim number, date of injury, nature of injury, and current work restrictions. All details are returned in a structured summary for your staff to verify eligibility.

What happens if a patient asks about prior authorization for a specific procedure?

The AI captures the question, the procedure (e.g., medial branch block, ESI), insurance member ID, and any clinical context the patient provides. This is handed to your staff as a summary to research with the payer.

How does the AI know what pain medications to ask about?

The AI asks open-ended questions about current pain medications and recent treatments. Patients answer with their actual medications and past procedures. AI captures and organizes the responses for your staff.

Can the AI process medication refill requests?

The AI captures refill requests with the medication name, current dose, last fill date, and reason (pain flare, routine refill). This is handed to staff/pharmacy as a structured request. The AI does not authorize refills directly.

Is the intake summary automatically filed in the EMR?

No. The AI returns the structured summary to your staff. They review it, verify accuracy, and file it in the patient's chart. This is a staff-reviewed handoff, not auto-population.

Can the AI capture insurance details for follow-up verification?

Yes. Member ID, group number, and plan name are captured during the call. Insurance questions and eligibility concerns are documented for your insurance coordinator to verify.
