Pain & Spine Workflows

Adjusters, Case Managers and Attorneys Call Too. Route Them.

Comp and personal injury callers want status, records and authorisation. Capture the claim detail and leave every disclosure decision with your staff.

Identifies third-party callers at the top of the call: the adjuster, the nurse case manager, the employer, a defence or plaintiff attorney's office, and the records retrieval vendor calling on somebody else's behalf
Captures the claim identifiers your billing and records team need on the first attempt: claim number, date of injury, carrier, employer, adjuster name and direct line, and precisely what is being requested
Applies your disclosure rules rather than improvising them. HIPAA permits disclosure for workers' compensation purposes as authorised by and to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable law, limited to the minimum necessary, while attorney requests generally turn on a valid authorisation or court process
Reads no clinical detail, appointment history or treatment plan to a caller whose authority your staff have not confirmed, and does not confirm or deny a patient relationship outside the rules you configure
Separates a records request from an authorisation question from a status call, because in most pain practices those three belong to three different people and only one of them is clinical
Keeps the comp queue and the patient queue apart, each carrying the fields that team actually works from, so a nurse case manager's call does not land in the same pile as a flare call

How it pays back

Third-Party Calls Stop Consuming Your Front Desk

In an interventional pain practice with a significant comp and personal injury caseload, adjusters, case managers and law offices can rival patients for phone time, and they call during clinic hours. Handling their intake automatically returns those hours to the people in your waiting room.

Disclosure Decisions Stay With Your Staff

The safe default on a third-party call is to capture and route, never to release. The system is built that way, so the pressure a persistent caller applies has nowhere to land. Your records or compliance staff make every disclosure decision with the file open.

Claim Detail Captured Once, Not Chased

Most repeat calls in a comp workflow exist because the first call did not capture the claim number, the carrier or a direct callback line. Structured capture on the first contact removes an entire round trip from the status conversation.

Personal Injury Calls Get Their Own Lane

Lien paperwork, letters of protection where your practice accepts them, and requests for treatment status arrive on a different cadence and go to different staff than clinical calls. Sorting them at the point of the call is the difference between a workable queue and an inbox.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI release records to an adjuster or a law office?

No. It captures the request, the requester and the claim detail, then routes it to your records or compliance staff. No document is sent and no clinical content is read aloud by the system under any configuration.

Will it confirm that someone is a patient?

Only within the rules you configure, and many practices treat that as protected information on a third-party call. Where your rules do not clearly permit it, the caller is told the request is being routed, and nothing more.

Can it accept an authorisation over the phone?

No. Authorisations are documents your staff review against your policy and applicable state or provincial law. The system captures that one has been offered and routes the call to the person who handles it.

How does it handle an attorney asking for the next appointment date?

As a request for protected information, not as a scheduling question. It is captured and routed to staff, because an appointment date discloses that treatment is ongoing and is not the system's to give out.

What about independent medical examination and peer review schedulers?

They are identified as third-party callers and routed on the rules you write for them, with the requesting entity, the examination type and the requested window captured, so your coordinator picks up a complete request.

Do the rules differ by state or by country?

Yes, materially. Workers' compensation and disclosure requirements differ by jurisdiction across the US, Canada and Australia. The system carries no legal rulebook of its own. It executes the rules your practice and counsel have written for the jurisdictions you operate in.
