Browser Agents That Operate NextGen Office & NextGen Enterprise

Browser agents log into NextGen the way your staff does. They submit prior auths, verify eligibility through payer portals, post denial appeals, and write updates back into the chart. No custom API build or vendor certification required.

Prior Authorization Automation for NextGen EHR

For every NextGen encounter, Flexbone agents submit PA requests through payer portals, call payers when portals fail, track status across the visit, and post approvals back to the chart. Scales cleanly across multi-specialty groups where PA rules vary by service line.

Operations

Why NextGen Practices Need AI

Ambulatory practices run on NextGen for charting, scheduling, and billing. The operational pain sits around the EHR: phones nobody can answer fast enough, prior auths that tie up clinical time, and denials that never get worked because staffing is tight. Flexbone sits alongside NextGen and takes that work off your team. See the healthcare calls page for the voice side of the deployment.

Implementation

Live in Four Weeks Alongside NextGen

Forward-deployed engineers configure Flexbone to your practice's NextGen workflows, specialty mix, and call patterns.

Week 1 — Discovery

We map your NextGen workflows, specialty templates, payer mix, and current call volumes. Read-only NextGen credentials provisioned.

Week 2 — Build

Voice agents trained on your call scripts. Browser agents configured against NextGen and your payer portals. Phone integration and writeback logic go live.

Week 3 — Supervised Go-Live

Real patient calls and real PA submissions run through Flexbone and into NextGen, monitored by your team. Edge cases escalate to humans during the ramp.

Week 4 — Optimization

We tune routing accuracy, refine specialty call flows, and verify every NextGen writeback. Forward-deployed engineers stay engaged post-launch.
