AI agents / Front desk

An AI receptionist that books the visit after the office closes.

Most new-patient inquiries arrive when the front desk is gone: web forms at 9 PM, missed calls at lunch, messages on Saturday. An AI receptionist answers every one of them in seconds, by text, and puts the patient on the schedule.

Text-first by design. Patients reply on their own time, nothing gets lost in voicemail, and every conversation is written down.

What the AI receptionist handles

  • Web form and message replies within 60 seconds, any hour.
  • Missed call text-back: a call that goes unanswered gets a text within seconds offering to book or answer by message.
  • Insurance and availability from your verified payor list and live schedule.
  • Booking and rescheduling in your actual scheduler, with confirmations and reminders.
  • Routing: billing questions to billing, records requests to records, anything clinical to a person immediately.

What stays with your team

Clinical questions, symptoms, prescription and refill decisions, billing disputes, and anything requiring judgment. Your after-hours clinical line or on-call service stays exactly where it is. The receptionist handles logistics, so your people handle care.

Why text-first instead of a voice bot

Voice bots that pretend to be people frustrate patients and break on accents, background noise, and complicated requests. Text is asynchronous, accessible, written down, and easy to hand to a human mid-thread. For new-patient inquiries, booking, and reminders, text converts better and creates a clean record.

What it replaces, and what it does not

It replaces the voicemail box, the next-morning callback list, and the generic answering service message for non-clinical requests. It does not replace clinical triage. The full comparison is on medical answering service alternatives.

Compliance

HIPAA-eligible infrastructure with a BAA, TCPA consent and TCR registration before texting, lock-screen-safe messages, and the receptionist identifies as your practice and never claims to be human. See it work, including a symptom handoff, on the transcripts page.

Common questions

Software that handles the front desk's logistics around the clock: replying to inquiries and missed calls, answering insurance and availability questions, booking and rescheduling appointments, and routing anything clinical or complex to staff.
Can an AI receptionist answer phone calls?
Provido's receptionist is text-first: unanswered calls get an instant text back offering to book or help by message. Live phone answering can stay with your team or answering service, especially for clinical calls.
Is an AI receptionist HIPAA compliant?
It can be when built on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure with a business associate agreement, with consent captured before texting, logistics-only message content, and no patient data sent to advertising platforms.
How much does an AI receptionist cost?
Provido deploys it inside patient acquisition engagements or as a standalone build. Provido engagements run $5,000 to $8,000 per month plus a one-time $7,500 setup, with ad spend billed direct at no markup.
