Patient Access

Capture complete intake information from Spanish-speaking callers without staff translators

AI receptionist that conducts full patient intake in Spanish, gathering demographics and chief complaint, then returns a structured summary your staff can review and file.

How it pays back

Eliminate translator bottleneck

Your clinical staff doesn't pause appointments to translate intake or interpret a patient's symptoms. The AI captures it in Spanish and returns an English summary for staff to review and file.

Reduce appointment delays

Intake happens at call-time, not during the appointment. Staff see complete, structured patient information before the visit begins—no time wasted gathering basics during chair time.

Improve data accuracy

Patients describe their symptoms and history once, in their native language, to the AI. No miscommunication, no second-hand retelling, no insurance details lost in translation.

Grow your Spanish-speaking panel

When callers know they'll be understood on the phone, they schedule. Smooth bilingual intake signals that your practice welcomes and serves Spanish speakers professionally.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Spanish-speaking receptionist if the AI handles intake?

No. The AI conducts intake in Spanish and returns a structured summary for your English-speaking staff to review and file. Your receptionist is freed from translation duty and can focus on scheduling and follow-ups.

How detailed is the intake the AI captures in Spanish?

Very detailed. The AI asks about insurance carrier, policy number, employer, allergies, current medications, prior surgeries, chief complaint, and symptom duration—everything your staff would normally ask a new patient.

What if a patient's medical history is complex?

The AI clarifies complex information naturally. If a patient mentions a medication they can't remember the name of, the AI asks follow-up questions to capture the details. The summary flags anything unclear for staff to verify at check-in.

Are insurance details captured accurately?

The AI captures insurance carrier, policy number, group number, and subscriber name and returns them in the structured summary. Your staff verifies these against the insurance card or online portal before the appointment.

Can staff edit or add to the intake summary?

Yes. The AI returns a structured summary that staff can review, edit, and supplement before filing. If the patient mentioned something the AI missed, staff can add it.

What languages does the intake support?

Currently English and Spanish. The system detects the caller's language and conducts intake in that language, returning a bilingual-ready summary.
