HIPAA-compliant AI that handles patient registration, insurance verification, medical history collection. Saves 15-25 minutes per patient.
Front desk staff spend 15-25 minutes per patient on intake paperwork. Patients arrive early to fill out forms. Insurance verification takes 5-10 phone calls per day. Incomplete forms delay appointments. Manual data entry causes errors. 30-40% of staff time consumed by administrative tasks instead of patient care.
Technical architecture overview
HIPAA-compliant AI guides patients through intake via voice, SMS, or web portal. Collects demographics, insurance, medical history, consent forms. Real-time insurance eligibility verification via Availity or Change Healthcare. Digital signatures for HIPAA forms. Auto-populates EHR with structured data. Flags incomplete or problematic information for staff review.
Core components of the system
Custom AI with BAA + Encryption
Secure patient data collection and processing
Epic / Cerner / Athena API
Auto-populate patient records, bidirectional sync
Availity / Change Healthcare API

React + Secure Backend
Web/mobile intake interface with progress saving
What makes this solution powerful
Patients complete intake via web portal, SMS questionnaire, or voice call. Progress saves automatically. Incomplete forms trigger reminder SMS 24 hours before appointment.
AI verifies insurance eligibility while patient completes forms. Alerts front desk immediately if insurance is inactive or requires authorization. Saves 5-10 verification calls per day.
AI asks follow-up questions based on answers. 'Do you have diabetes?' → Yes → 'What's your last A1C?' Collects complete, structured data for clinical use.
Intake data flows directly into EHR in structured format. No manual transcription. Reduces data entry errors by 90%. Staff review and approve before appointment.
Step-by-step deployment process
Week 1-2: HIPAA compliance review, BAA execution with vendors, security audit. Map existing intake workflow and EHR data structure. Identify required forms and consent documents.
Week 3-4: Build intake questionnaire with clinical input. Integrate insurance verification and EHR. Set up digital signature workflow. Configure data validation rules.
Week 5-6: HIPAA compliance testing, penetration testing, audit logging verification. Staff training on reviewing AI-completed intake. Pilot with 10% of patients. Full rollout with monitoring.

Learn from our experience
Don't: Skimp on HIPAA compliance. Patient intake involves PHI - violations are costly. Ensure all vendors have BAAs.
Don't: Make forms too long. Patients abandon intake after 10-15 minutes. Prioritize essential questions, defer nice-to-haves.
Don't: Launch without insurance verification. Patients get angry when told 'insurance doesn't cover this' after completing intake.
Don't: Auto-populate EHR without staff review. Clinical staff must verify AI-collected data before using for treatment decisions.
Full HIPAA compliance stack: (1) All vendors sign BAAs, (2) Data encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3), (3) Access logging and audit trails, (4) Regular security audits and penetration testing, (5) Patient authentication before accessing intake portal. We handle all compliance documentation as part of implementation.
Multi-channel approach: (1) Web portal for tech-savvy patients, (2) SMS-based questionnaire (text-only, works on flip phones), (3) Voice call option where AI asks questions verbally, (4) Paper forms as fallback with OCR scanning. Typically 70% digital, 30% traditional.
Yes. AI uses conditional branching - asks follow-up questions based on answers. For complex conditions, AI collects basics (diagnosis date, medications, managing doctor) and flags for clinical staff interview. Not meant to replace clinical judgment, just streamline data collection.
Integration with clearinghouses like Availity or Change Healthcare. AI sends eligibility check (270/271 transaction) while patient completes intake. Response shows coverage status, copay, deductible, authorization requirements. Takes 10-30 seconds. Alerts staff if issues detected.
Multi-language support available. AI can conduct intake in Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, etc. Medical terminology translated accurately. Can also integrate with interpreter services for rare languages. Digital forms easier for non-English speakers than handwritten forms staff must decipher.
