AI Concierge — For Solo physicians and small group practices (1-25 providers)
AI Concierge for Doctors — Patient Triage Without Hiring More Staff
Most medical practices route ~60% of their staff time to phone triage. An AI concierge handles the routine — appointment requests, prescription refill checks, insurance questions — so your team focuses on patients in the room.
Patient phone volume has grown 40% since 2020 (MGMA data). Staffing hasn't. The result is long hold times, missed callbacks, and burned-out front desk teams. An AI Concierge handles the high-volume, low-complexity calls — appointment requests, refill status, billing questions — while routing actual clinical concerns to your nursing staff.
Crucially, it knows when NOT to handle a call. Chest pain, shortness of breath, suicidal ideation, fall with possible fracture — all immediately escalated to your on-call provider with the patient still on the line and a transcript already prepared. The concierge augments your team's judgment, never replaces it.
HIPAA compliance is baked in: encrypted call transcripts, BAA available, no PHI used in model training, optional on-premise deployment for larger practices.
