Scheduling

Eliminate appointment-booking callbacks by confirming and writing to EMR on the inbound call

Modern medical voice AI books appointments and writes appointment data directly to your EMR in real time. No 'we'll call you back to confirm.' Callers get their appointment and confirmation number before hanging up.

How it pays back

Instant confirmation, zero callbacks

Patients hate the 'we'll call you back to confirm' dance. Voice AI books and writes appointments to EMR in real time. Caller hangs up with a confirmed appointment and confirmation number. Your staff never needs to follow up on that booking.

Real-time schedule sync

The AI reads your live EMR schedule and offers only open slots. Block times, lunch hours, and provider preferences are respected. Double-booking and schedule conflicts are eliminated.

New-patient records auto-created

First-time callers get a chart created automatically with their name, DOB, and phone number. Demographic data is captured once, not re-entered by staff.

Appointment no-shows drop

Same-call confirmation and immediate reminders (via SMS or email) reduce cancellations and no-shows compared to callback-based booking.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI access my real-time schedule?

The AI integrates directly with your EMR (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, ModMed, and others). It reads your live calendar, provider availability, and block times. When a caller asks for an appointment, the AI offers real open slots—no double-booking, no overbooking.

What if a caller wants to book with a specific provider?

The AI asks the caller's preference and checks that provider's schedule. If no availability with that provider, the AI offers alternatives or schedules a waitlist entry. All options are presented conversationally.

Does the appointment appear in my EMR immediately?

Yes. When the call ends, the confirmed appointment is already in your schedule. Your staff sees it when they open the chart. No manual entry, no delays.

What if the caller is a new patient?

The AI creates a new chart with name, date of birth, and phone number. Insurance information and clinical details are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file into the record.

Can the AI ask for appointment reason or chief complaint?

Yes. The AI captures chief complaint and appointment reason conversationally. This information is included in the appointment note or intake summary for your clinical staff to review before the visit.
