Use Case

New Patient Intake. Automated.

New patient intake calls take 20-30 minutes and follow the same script every time. Dialbox handles them end-to-end. Insurance, medical history, symptoms, first appointment booked. Your front desk can focus on patients who are actually in the office.

The Reality

Manual Intake Overwhelms Your Front Desk

A single new patient intake call takes 20-30 minutes. For a busy practice seeing 5-10 new patients per week, that's 2-5 hours of phone time. Meanwhile, patients in the waiting room wait longer and other calls go to voicemail.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about new patient/client intake calls.

Is the AI HIPAA/PIPEDA compliant for collecting medical information?

Yes. Dialbox handles sensitive medical information securely with encryption in transit and at rest, meeting PIPEDA and HIPAA compliance requirements.

Can the AI collect insurance information?

Yes. The AI can collect insurance provider, policy number, group number, and policyholder details during the intake call.

How accurate is the AI at collecting medical details?

The AI confirms and spells back critical information like medication names, dosages, and allergies for accuracy. Completion rates are higher than manual intake because the AI never forgets a question.

Can I customize the intake for different practice types?

Completely. Each practice type can have its own intake flow. A dental practice asks different questions than a physiotherapy clinic.
