Can it handle patients with recent injuries safely?

Yes. If a caller mentions a recent injury or fall they haven't seen a doctor about, it recommends they get medical clearance first and offers to book a follow-up once they have. We never rush an undiagnosed injury into a wellness practice.

Does it capture insurance and billing info?

It asks about insurance status and flags workers' comp or auto-accident claims so your billing team bills correctly. Many plans cover acupuncture or chiro — we make sure the right claim type is captured.

How does it answer medical questions without giving advice?

It sidesteps medical opinions ("Will this fix my migraines?") and moves the caller toward booking so your practitioner can answer in the consultation. It's warm and helpful — not robotic.

Hear how it handles a real alternative health practitioner call

CallerHi, I've been having chronic back pain for about three months now and a friend recommended your practice. Do you have availability for a consultation soon?
ReceptionistHi, thanks for calling. I'm Sarah from Wellness Chiropractic. I'd love to get you scheduled. Just to make sure we take the best care of you — has a doctor already looked at your back, or is this your first time getting it checked?
CallerI've had it looked at by my primary care doctor and they said it was muscle strain. They recommended I try chiropractic care.
ReceptionistPerfect, that's really helpful. So we can book you with our chiropractor. Are you a new patient with us, or have you been in before?
CallerNew patient. I don't have insurance — I'm self-pay. How much does a first visit cost?
ReceptionistOur initial consultation is $150 and includes an evaluation and a first treatment. I'll send you the full fee schedule and a new-patient form when I have your number. What's the best way to reach you?

A new patient with chronic back pain books a chiropractic consultation and the intake details go straight to the practitioner.
