New Patient Flow
When patients call to schedule, the AI receptionist completes the entire new-patient intake on that same call. Structured summaries arrive ready for staff review, and your team can focus on clinical care instead of processing paperwork.
Your team receives a complete intake summary overnight. Clinicians start with full context—not scrambling to fill gaps in the waiting room or wasting appointment time gathering history.
Once they tell the AI their medical history on the call, they're done. No clipboard in the waiting room; no check-in nurse re-asking the same questions. First visit feels frictionless.
Patient co-pay and coverage are confirmed on the booking call. Staff knows exactly what to collect at check-in—no surprises, no delayed billing.

The intake conversation typically occurs during the scheduling call. The AI asks clarifying questions conversationally, adapting to the patient's responses. Total call time depends on medical complexity, but the process is integrated into the booking rather than added as a separate step.
The AI is trained to dig deeper on complex cases—asking follow-up questions about past surgeries, chronic conditions, and medication interactions. Staff receive a structured summary for clinical review. Any red flags are flagged for urgent attention.
Patients can provide what they're comfortable sharing. If information is missing, your staff can follow up via phone or at check-in. The structured summary shows which fields are complete and which may need follow-up.
Yes. The AI introduces itself clearly at the start of the call. Patients know they're speaking with an AI receptionist designed to help with scheduling and intake. If they prefer human interaction, they can request transfer to staff.
The structured summary is returned to your practice environment for staff review and filing. Clinical data (medical history, allergies, medications, symptoms, chief complaint) is reviewed by your team before being entered into the patient's chart. Your staff maintains control over what enters the permanent record. Appointment bookings and patient demographics are synced to your EMR; clinical content is captured as a pasteable summary for your team to review and file.
