Patient Onboarding

Voice AI new patient intake that automatically creates patient records in your EMR—no staff re-entry

When a new patient calls, voice AI captures their demographics during the call and writes name, DOB, phone, and address directly to your EMR. Your staff opens the chart already populated, ready for the visit.

How it pays back

Stop asking new patients to repeat information to your staff

AI captures details once. By the time a staff member picks up (or the patient arrives), the demographic section of the chart is complete. No re-asking for name, date of birth, or phone number.

New patient appointment confirmation happens on the first call

Patient calls, gives demographics, explains reason for visit, and books an appointment—all in one call. Your staff confirms the booking the next morning; the patient never gets a "we'll call you back" message.

Your front desk spends zero time creating new patient records

New patient demographics are auto-populated in the EMR. Staff time spent on data entry drops immediately. Team focuses on chart review, prior authorization, and insurance verification instead of manual record creation.

Insurance and intake details are organized for your team

Clinical intake (reason for visit, symptom duration, relevant history) returns as a structured summary. Insurance info is captured separately in the portal. Your staff reviews both before the patient's visit, not during check-in.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI collect insurance information during the new patient call?

Yes. The AI asks for insurance details (member ID, group number, carrier) during intake. This information is captured and stored in the MedReception portal for your staff to verify with the carrier and enter into your billing system. Insurance data is not auto-populated into the EMR chart; your team handles verification and entry.

What if a new patient's information is incomplete or unclear?

The AI confirms information before writing to the EMR. If something is unclear, the AI asks for clarification immediately. If the patient can't provide a detail (e.g., date of birth), the AI notes it and your staff can contact the patient before the visit or collect it at check-in.

Can the AI detect if a patient is already in the EMR under a different name or phone?

Yes, if EMR integration is enabled. The AI can check for duplicates (same DOB, similar name) before creating a new patient record. If a match is found, the AI alerts your staff instead of creating a duplicate.

What happens to the clinical details the AI captures (reason for visit, symptoms)?

Clinical details are returned as a structured summary—not auto-populated into the chart. Your staff reviews the summary, determines the chief complaint and medical history details that belong in the chart, and files them. This ensures a clinician reviews and approves the information before it's part of the medical record.

Can the AI collect patient photos or ID information?

No. Photo ID and driver's license information are not captured by the AI. If your practice requires ID verification, the patient provides that at check-in. The AI focuses on demographics, contact info, and reason for visit.

How does the new patient data flow into the EMR after-hours?

After-hours, the AI captures new patient information and the appointment request. Both are queued in the MedReception portal for your staff to review and confirm when you open. New patient records are created once your staff confirms the booking in the morning.
