Workflow Capability

Voice AI that captures new patient intake and books appointments in a single call—no callback needed

Traditional front-desk workflows require two calls: one to book, one to collect insurance and history. Voice AI completes intake and scheduling in one conversation.

How it pays back

One Call, Problem Solved

New patients call once. By the time they hang up, they have an appointment and their information is captured. Staff reviews the intake summary and approves it into the chart. No follow-up calls, no voicemail chains.

Front Desk Gains Hours Back

Routine new patient calls no longer tie up front desk staff. They focus on complex scheduling, insurance issues, and face-to-face patient care.

Structured Data Ready for Clinical Review

AI captures insurance, allergies, medications, and chief complaint in a structured format. Staff reviews and approves the intake, then it's pasteable into your EHR chart.

Higher Show Rates

Patients who complete intake on the first call are more invested in the appointment. They are less likely to no-show.

Comprehensive intake in one call

Demographics, insurance, history, and chief complaint captured and structured.

Appointment booked immediately

No 'we'll call you back' - patient leaves the call with a confirmed slot.

Structured summary for staff review

Insurance details and medical history returned as reviewable, EMR-pasteable text.

New patient record and appointment created in EMR

Demographics, DOB, phone, and appointment slot written to your system simultaneously.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI collect insurance information on the call?

Yes. The AI asks for insurance carrier, plan type, and policy number. That information is captured in the structured summary and returned to staff for review. Staff can verify coverage if needed before the appointment.

What if the patient doesn't have insurance?

The AI notes that and moves forward. The appointment is still booked. Staff can flag the account for self-pay arrangements when they review the intake summary.

How does the AI handle complex medical histories?

The AI asks open-ended questions about allergies, medications, and current chief complaint. The patient describes their situation in their own words. Those responses are captured verbatim in the summary for the clinician to review and formally document.

Can the patient book a specific provider or time slot?

Yes. The AI asks for preferred times and provider, checks availability, and confirms the slot. If the patient's request isn't available, the AI offers alternatives and confirms before ending the call.

Does this work for every type of medical practice?

It works best for new patient calls. Established patients calling for follow-ups or refills may have shorter intake needs. The AI adapts based on your practice's configuration.
