Workflow

Capture medication refill requests and controlled substance authorization requirements on the call

Pain clinics manage controlled substance refills with strict protocols. Our AI captures medication name, quantity, prescriber, and prior authorization status during the call and hands structured intake to your clinical staff for rapid approval or follow-up.

How it pays back

Refill Requests Don't Require Patient Callback

Medication information, insurance, and refill authorization details are captured on the first call. Your clinical staff review and approve or deny without contacting the patient again.

Controlled Substance Compliance Built In

The AI follows your clinic's protocols for controlled substance refills: patient identity confirmation, pain status assessment, and prescription compliance review. Documentation is thorough and defensible.

Insurance Prior Auth Started Immediately

The AI captures insurance details during the call. Your staff can initiate prior authorization right away, reducing approval time and delays in medication access.

Refill Denials Handled Proactively

If a patient has exceeded refill limits or needs clinical review before refill approval, that is documented in the summary. Your provider can reach out with clear guidance on next steps.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI distinguish a medication refill request from other types of calls?

The AI asks the caller the reason for their call early in the conversation. If it's a refill request, the AI asks specific questions about the medication, quantity, and last refill date. Other requests (appointments, consultations) are routed to the appropriate workflow.

Does the AI verify controlled substance prescribing compliance?

The AI captures medication details and refill history but does not verify DEA prescribing rules. Your clinical staff and provider review the AI's summary to confirm compliance with your clinic's policies and state/federal regulations.

What if a patient requests a refill but the prescription is expired?

The AI notes the prescription status in the summary. Your provider receives this information and can contact the patient to renew the prescription, schedule a follow-up visit, or deny the refill per your clinic's policy.

Can the AI check insurance coverage and prior auth requirements?

The AI captures insurance information and medication details during the call. Your staff review the summary and initiate prior authorization with the carrier.

Are refill requests documented for compliance and audit purposes?

Yes. All refill requests are recorded, and the AI's structured summary is filed in the patient's chart. Your provider's approval or denial decision is logged for DEA compliance and quality review.
