AI Agents for athenahealth
Voice and browser agents that work inside athenahealth. Patient calls, prior auth, and eligibility handled around the clock, so your front desk and billing teams can focus on the work that needs a person.
AI Voice Agents for athenahealth Practices
Inbound and outbound calls answered in seconds. Scheduling, pre-visit intake, refill triage, referral coordination, eligibility, and prior auth status. Every transcript and outcome flows back into athenaClinicals, with tasks posted to the correct athenaCollector or athenaCommunicator worklist.
Browser Agents & athenaNet API Integration
Browser agents operate athenaNet the way your staff does, and call the athenaNet API directly where available for faster structured reads and writes. They pull schedules, submit prior auths, verify eligibility, post documents, and update athenaCollector claim and denial worklists. No new interface to learn.
Prior Authorization Automation for Outpatient Care
For referrals, advanced imaging (MRI, CT, PET), specialty medications, infusions, and procedures, Flexbone agents submit PA requests through payer portals, call payers when portals fail, track status across the case, and post approvals back into athenaClinicals and athenaCollector.
Eligibility Verification & Denial Management
Real-time eligibility checks across 25+ payer portals before every visit, with specialty-specific benefit checks (behavioral health parity, women's health preventive, imaging) built in. Denial letters ingested via OCR, root cause classified, and corrected claims pushed back to clearinghouses without manual touch.
Live in Four Weeks Alongside athenahealth
Forward-deployed engineers configure Flexbone to your athenaNet workflows, visit types, and specialty call flows.
Week 1 — Discovery
We map your athenahealth visit types, specialty mix, payer panel, and current call patterns. Read-only athenaNet credentials and API access provisioned.
Week 2 — Build
Voice agents trained on your scheduling rules, intake, refill protocols, and specialty scripts. Browser agents and athenaNet API integrations configured.
Week 3 — Supervised Go-Live
Real patient calls and PA submissions run through Flexbone, monitored by your team. Edge cases and safety triggers escalate to humans during the ramp.
Week 4 — Optimization
We tune routing, refine specialty call flows, and verify every athenaClinicals and athenaCollector writeback. Forward-deployed engineers stay engaged post-launch.
Built for Every athenahealth Specialty
AI agents configured for the outpatient encounter types athenahealth supports, with call flows, PA logic, and denial workflows tuned to each specialty.
