Scale new patient intake without adding staff

An AI receptionist that captures and schedules incoming new patient calls at any volume, returning structured intake data as a summary for staff review and EMR entry so they can focus on clinical care.

How it pays back

Convert more callers to booked appointments

No caller gets a voicemail or busy signal. The AI answers, qualifies, and schedules the appointment in one call. No callbacks required.

New patient records ready for first appointment

When the new patient arrives, their record includes name, DOB, phone, and a summary of their chief complaint. Your staff can focus on clinical notes and verification.

Reduce new patient no-shows

The AI confirms the appointment details, sends reminders, and captures urgency. Patients who connect with a real voice on intake are more likely to attend.

Improve new patient experience from the first call

A professional AI voice that listens, asks clarifying questions, and books immediately builds confidence. Patients feel heard, not rushed through a menu.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI collect insurance information securely?

Yes. The AI captures insurance details on the call and returns them as a structured summary. Your staff verify and file that data into your EMR. Insurance information is NOT auto-written to the patient record—your team controls that entry.

What if a new patient has a complex medical history?

The AI asks open-ended questions about chief complaint, medications, and allergies. It returns all responses as a narrative summary that your staff can review, expand, and document in the patient record.

Can the AI screen for contraindications or red flags?

Yes. You configure the AI to flag high-risk conditions—e.g., chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe allergies—and escalate to a nurse or provider immediately. Routine new patient calls are scheduled normally.

How does this work with my marketing campaigns?

Every call from your ads, local listings, or referral partners is answered by the AI and logged in your system. You see where calls are coming from and which sources convert to booked appointments.

What if my practice is at capacity and has no new patient slots?

The AI can offer future dates, waitlist the patient, or suggest referral to another practice. You control the messaging so no caller feels turned away.
