Frequently asked questions

If I close at 5 PM, does the AI take over at 5 PM or later?

You define your after-hours window during setup. Most practices set the AI to answer starting at close of business through the next morning. You can customize hours per day or location.

Does the AI book into the same Practice Fusion calendar my staff uses?

Yes. The AI reads your live Practice Fusion schedule and books into the same calendar. There is one source of truth. Your staff sees after-hours bookings the next morning.

Can the AI handle urgent after-hours calls?

Yes. If a caller describes an emergency or uses urgent language, the AI routes the call to your on-call provider or emergency line. Urgent calls are never left as voicemail.

What if a caller wants to book a same-day appointment but calls after hours?

The AI offers next available slots based on your Practice Fusion schedule. If same-day is not available, the AI books the caller for the next open time. Your team can manually adjust if needed.

Do patients get confirmation of their after-hours appointment?

Yes. You can configure automatic confirmation texts or emails. Patient receives a message with appointment details, date, time, and provider name from your Practice Fusion schedule.
