Prior authorizations eat the week
Every request needs forms, notes, and follow-up calls. Staff re-key the same details into payer portals.
PREPARED FOR ·
Faxes and referrals get read and filed. Prior-auth packets get assembled. Patient messages get sorted. A report lands on the front desk each morning. It runs in your own servers or your own AWS account.
The work is rarely the problem. The hunting, retyping, and chasing around it is.
Every request needs forms, notes, and follow-up calls. Staff re-key the same details into payer portals.
Someone opens each one, finds the patient, and files it by hand. A referral that lands on the wrong chart is easy to miss.
Portal, phone, text, and email. The urgent one is buried under refill requests and billing questions.
Paperwork and rework cost every practice time that could go to patients.

HIPAA applies, and a business associate agreement is required. Any AI that touches patient information has to run under one, in an environment you control.
A day in the life. Pick a use case and watch the question or report come together, with citations back to the source.
Each fax is read with OCR, matched to the right chart, and filed. Anything uncertain goes to a person.
Sample patients are shown by initials. In your office, access follows your EHR roles.
| Document | Matched to | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Cardiology referral [1] | Chart J.M. | Filed to Referrals |
| Lab result, panel 2 [2] | Chart A.T. | Filed. Flagged for provider. |
| Page 2 only, no header [3] | No match | Held for front desk |
The assistant gathers the order, visit notes, referral, and insurance details into one packet. It shows what is missing before the payer does.
It assembles and checks. The provider decides what goes to the payer.
Messages from the portal, texts, and transcribed voicemails are sorted by topic and urgency. A nurse sees the urgent queue first.
Suggestions only. A nurse reviews the urgent queue. No message is answered automatically.
| Message | Channel | Suggested queue |
|---|---|---|
| Chest tightness since last night [1] | Portal | Nurse, now |
| Refill request, blood pressure [2] | Text | Refill queue |
| Can I move Thursday's visit? [3] | Voicemail (transcribed) | Front desk |
| Question about a bill [4] | Billing |
A one-page report before the doors open: what came in, what is waiting, and who needs a call.
Runs on your schedule. People decide what to act on.
Not just documents. Scans and photos are read with OCR. Phone calls are transcribed. Texts are included when you choose.
Most firms don't know AI can do this. Patient lists collect duplicates and typos for years. The assistant finds likely matches, fills gaps from other records, and flags what a person must confirm.

It is a help to your whole team, not a replacement. Everyone on your team gets an assistant that knows the context of your work. People still make the calls.
Answers follow the roles already set in your EHR and file shares. Built around minimum-necessary access.
A provider can give a covering nurse or float staff access for a set time. You decide who, and for how long.
Front desk, nurses, providers, and billing see different slices of the same index.
A record of who asked what and which items were opened, to support your access reviews.
Nothing is hidden for this role.
| Time | Who | What |
|---|---|---|
| 07:52 | R. Dalton, front desk | Opened: referral status, J.M. |
| 08:10 | Nurse line | Asked: urgent messages since 5 PM. 4 sources. |
| 09:03 | Admin | Granted covering-nurse access until Friday |

Optional ongoing support for new connectors, updates, and help while you care for patients.
