Medical-grade voice AI that integrates with your EMR and meets HIPAA requirements out of the box

Production medical voice AI systems must integrate with your EMR and comply with HIPAA. Learn what to audit: encryption, call storage, Business Associate Agreements, and data residency.

How it pays back

Direct EMR write-back for appointments and demographics, no re-entry

Appointments and new-patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) are written directly from the AI into your EMR. Staff never re-enter data. This eliminates transcription errors and compliance gaps.

HIPAA-aware by design, not an afterthought

Encryption, call recording consent, audit logging, and compliance workflows are built into the platform. You don't need to configure compliance; it's standard.

Structured data ready for clinical review

Chief complaint, insurance info, and intake details are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary. Your clinical staff review and file it manually. Nothing bypasses staff oversight.

Audit-ready workflows

Call logs, timestamps, staff actions, and EMR writes are tracked automatically. If an auditor asks 'show me who accessed this call,' you have the answer.

Frequently asked questions

What is a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and why does voice AI need one?

A BAA is a legal contract between your practice (the Covered Entity) and the voice AI vendor (the Business Associate). It defines how patient data is protected, stored, and accessed. Any vendor handling PHI must have a BAA in place. Verify the vendor provides one before signup.

Where are call recordings stored?

Production medical voice AI systems store recordings in HIPAA-compliant data centers with encryption at rest and in transit. Verify your vendor's infrastructure is U.S.-based or meets your state's data residency rules. Recordings should be retained only as long as needed for clinical and legal purposes.

What data does the AI write to my EMR, and what stays for staff review?

Appointments, new-patient records, and demographics (name, DOB, phone) are written directly by the AI to your EMR. Insurance information, medical history, symptoms, and chief complaint are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file manually. This keeps sensitive clinical data under your control.

How is call consent captured for HIPAA compliance?

The AI informs callers that the call may be recorded for quality and compliance purposes. Consent is logged automatically with a timestamp. If a caller declines, the call can proceed but recording stops. This logging is required for compliance audits.

What EMR systems does medical voice AI integrate with?

Production systems integrate with named EMR platforms including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. Verify your specific EMR is supported before purchase. If not, contact us to discuss options.
