Patient calls handled with care
— at scale.

Your front desk is drowning. Recall calls don't get made. After-hours patients get voicemail. We deploy a HIPAA-aware AI voice agent that handles scheduling, intake, refills, and recall — and escalates the moment a call needs a human or a clinician.

Deployed with BAA-eligible voice and LLM vendors. Mutual BAA signed with your practice.

Compliance posture

HIPAA-aware. BAA-eligible. Operationalized — not just claimed.

HIPAA compliance is a deployment posture, not a checkbox. Here is how we operationalize it for every healthcare engagement:

  • BAAs with subprocessors. Voice (Twilio under BAA), LLM (OpenAI Enterprise or Anthropic with applicable BAA), transcription, recording storage — all on BAA-eligible plans before a single PHI call is taken.
  • Mutual BAA with your practice. Signed before deployment. Subprocessor list disclosed and updated.
  • Minimum necessary by design. The agent only collects the PHI the workflow requires. Voice recordings retained 90 days by default, configurable to your policy.
  • Encryption + access logs. At rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+). Access to recordings and transcripts is logged with user, timestamp, and reason.
  • Escalation by clinical protocol. Red-flag symptoms (chest pain, SI, stroke signs) route to 911 prompt + on-call clinician per your written protocol — not the AI's judgment.
  • Disclosure in the greeting. Patients are told they're speaking to an automated assistant, with an immediate path to a human.

We are not a HIPAA-certifying body and we do not warrant compliance for your practice. We deploy against the rules and provide documentation suitable for your security officer's review.

Sample call

Appointment scheduling — start to finish.

Annual physical scheduling for a returning patient. Identifies, verifies, checks coverage, books, sends prep instructions.

AI

You've reached the scheduling assistant for Cedar Family Medicine. I'm an automated assistant — I can book or change appointments, or transfer you to our nurse line. How can I help?

Patient

I need to schedule my annual physical.

AI

Of course. Can I have your full name and date of birth to pull up your chart?

Patient

Margaret Reyes, December third, nineteen seventy-one.

AI

Thanks, Margaret. I see you here. Last physical was March of last year, so you're due. You're seeing Dr. Park, correct? And your insurance on file is BlueCross — anything change there?

Patient

Same insurance. And yes, Dr. Park.

AI

Dr. Park has Thursday June 12th at 9:40 AM, or Tuesday the 17th at 2:20 PM. Which works better?

Patient

The Thursday morning slot.

AI

Booked — Thursday June 12 at 9:40 AM with Dr. Park. I'll text you a confirmation, the pre-visit form, and the fasting note since this is a physical. Anything else today?

Patient

No, that's it. Thank you.

What it handles

The call types your front desk repeats every hour.

A

Scheduling & rescheduling

Direct EHR write. Returning and new patients. Provider preference and visit-type rules respected.

I

New-patient intake

Demographics, insurance, chief complaint. Pre-visit forms sent by SMS or email to complete before arrival.

R

Recall & reactivation

Outbound recall on your cadence — 6-month, 12-month, gaps in care. Booking direct to the calendar.

F

Refill requests

Patient identity verification, route to MA queue or e-prescribe workflow per your SOP. Never authorizes meds.

T

Clinical triage (protocol-driven)

Red-flag symptom detection routes to 911 prompt and on-call. Non-urgent symptoms scheduled to the right visit type.

B

Behavioral / after-hours

Crisis-line escalation (988), warm clinician transfer, intake-only handling. The AI never attempts counseling.

Pricing

Built for single-clinic and group practices.

Healthcare deployments start at the Growth tier because of the BAA, EHR integration, and escalation-protocol work involved. Starter is available for non-PHI workflows (recall, intake-only) on request.

FAQ

Healthcare questions, answered honestly.

Is this HIPAA compliant?

HIPAA compliance is a posture, not a checkbox — and it lives at the deployment, not the technology. We deploy on BAA-eligible voice and LLM vendors and sign a BAA with your practice. PHI handling is configured per workflow — minimum necessary, logged access, encryption at rest and in transit. We are not a HIPAA-certifying body; we operationalize against the rules.

Which EHRs do you integrate with?

Athena, eClinicalWorks, Practice Fusion, Kareo/Tebra, DrChrono, NextGen, Greenway, Allscripts, and Epic (via App Orchard or webhook bridge). If your EHR has an API or HL7/FHIR endpoint, we can integrate.

Can the agent triage clinical complaints?

Triage is configurable but conservative by design. The agent identifies red-flag symptoms from your protocol list and escalates immediately. We do not let the agent give clinical advice.

Behavioral / mental health calls?

We script for 988 crisis-line escalation, warm clinician handoff, and screening (PHQ-9, GAD-7) where the practice uses them. The agent never attempts counseling.

Will patients know they're talking to AI?

Yes — disclosure is in the greeting by default. Several states require AI disclosure; we configure to the strictest applicable rule.

Multilingual?

English and Spanish included. Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, French, Russian and others have been deployed. Interpreter-line warm transfer is also supported.

What about state laws like CMIA (California) or telephone-recording consent?

We configure the deployment to the strictest applicable rule across the states you operate in. Two-party consent states get explicit recording disclosure; one-party states get our standard disclosure. CMIA and similar state laws are reviewed during scoping.
