New Patient Intake · Primary Care

What if every patient call got ready before they arrive?

That’s new patient intake with FrontDesk: an AI receptionist trained for primary care practices that answers instantly and books in under two minutes.

The Problem

Why primary care practices need new patient intake

These challenges cost practices thousands in lost revenue every month.

01

Establishing care takes a mountain of paperwork

New primary-care patients face extensive intake, and doing it on paper at check-in slows the whole schedule.

02

Records transfers get forgotten

Without prompting, prior records aren’t requested ahead, so the first visit lacks the history it needs.

03

Intake competes with same-day demand

The front desk juggling sick-visit calls can’t give thorough new-patient intake the time it deserves.

The Solution

How FrontDesk handles new patient intake

AI-powered new patient intake built specifically for primary care practices.

01

patient calls your practice

Whether during business hours or at midnight, the AI answers instantly and begins the new patient intake process.

02

AI handles the process

Through natural conversation, the AI manages every step of new patient intake specific to your practice's protocols.

03

appointment booked or action taken

The process completes with a booked appointment, captured information, or appropriate routing - all in under 2 minutes.

04

Your team is notified

Staff gets instant notifications with full context, so they can follow up on anything that needs personal attention.

In their words

What primary care patients ask during new patient intake calls

A strong new-patient intake sets up a lasting primary-care relationship. AI captures demographics, insurance, medications, and visit reason, then texts your forms and prompts records transfer — so the first visit is about the patient, not paperwork.

What do I need to bring to establish care?

Can I do the new-patient forms online?

Do you accept my insurance?

Can you request my records from my old doctor?
