AI Workflow Automation for Radiology

Radiology runs on workflows. We make them run themselves.

Custom AI automation for imaging groups, from the fax queue to the schedule to the credentialing file, built around your RIS/PACS, clearinghouse, and phone system.

Order arrives
AI extracts & files
Eligibility verified
Patient contacted
Exam scheduled
6–8 wksfrom kickoff to a live AI intake pipeline
4,000+orders per month processed automatically
24/7every call answered, verified & routed
100%HIPAA-first: BAA, encryption, audit logs

The problem

Imaging orders arrive by fax. Everything after that is manual.

Faxes, PDFs, and e-referrals land in shared folders. Staff open, read, rename, verify, and route every one by hand, then pick up the phone. The cost shows up everywhere:

1–2 FTEsconsumed by manual order intake alone
$50–110Kper year in loaded intake labor cost

…before counting expired authorizations, scheduling delay, and referral leakage.

Every order touched

Opened, read, renamed, checked, and filed by hand, labor scales 1:1 with volume.

Auths expire silently

Authorization numbers and expirations tracked by eye, lapses mean unpaid exams.

Calls go to voicemail

After-hours and overflow scheduling calls are lost, and patients call a competitor.

Referrals leak invisibly

No live view of top, declining, and lost referrers until the volume is already gone.

No-shows & phone tag

Manual outreach lists, unconfirmed appointments, and schedulers doing intake instead of scheduling.

One platform

Module 01 · AI order intake

From fax pile to filed, verified order data, hands-free

6–8 weekskickoff to a live production pipeline at your pilot site
4,000+/moorders processed within the base platform tier
Field-levelextraction accuracy benchmarked on your documents, and locked as acceptance criteria
  • Continuous captureShared folders and fax queues monitored around the clock, PDFs, TIFFs, fax images, e-referrals.
  • AI field extraction with confidence scoringPatient, DOB, provider, group, insurance, exam, ICD-10/CPT, priority, auth number & expiration, every field scored.
  • Automatic naming & filingEvery document renamed to your convention and filed to your folder taxonomy, no naming drift.
  • Duplicate & revision detectionExact and near-duplicates caught automatically; revised orders linked to the original encounter.
  • Human review queueAnything below the confidence threshold routes to staff for a fast verify-and-correct, nothing is auto-filed on an uncertain read.

Module 02 · Eligibility & authorization

Verified coverage the moment an order arrives, not days later

A live clearinghouse integration (EDI 270/271) checks every order on arrival, on schedules, and on demand, so workflow routing reflects the payer's actual response, not what the fax says.

EVERY ORDER ROUTES ITSELF INTO A WORKFLOW STATE:

Waiting for Auth
Ready to Schedule
Info Needed
Ineligible
Duplicate
Expired

Payer auth-rules engine

A maintained payer/plan/CPT table determines when prior authorization is actually required, by payer and exam type.

Expiration tracking

Auth numbers and expiration dates extracted and watched; approaching lapses flagged, lapsed orders moved to Expired automatically.

One-click closure

Staff mark Scheduled or Patient Declined in one click, closing the loop and feeding the scheduling analytics.

Module 03 · 24/7 AI phone agent

Every scheduling call answered. Coverage verified before transfer.

01
Answered instantly, 24/7

Natural conversation; automated-assistant and recording disclosure on every call.

02
Intake collected

Name, DOB, carrier, member ID, ordering provider, exam needed.

03
Eligibility checked in-call

Coverage confirmed through the live 270/271 engine while the caller is on the line.

04
Warm transfer or callback task

Business hours: transfer to a scheduler with a verified summary. After hours: a structured callback task, nothing lost to voicemail.

ALSO HANDLES

Locations, hours, parking & directions · exam prep and fasting instructions · insurance participation · rescheduling · general practice questions, all from your approved content.

SAFETY BY DESIGN

No clinical advice or exam results, ever. Urgent or distressed callers escalate immediately to your staff paths. Unconfident calls transfer, never improvise. Every call recorded, transcribed & QC-scored.

Module 04 · Beyond the order

Clinical intake, referral intelligence, and the back office

PATIENTS & CLINICAL
  • Automated outreach & remindersDaily ready-to-schedule campaigns, prep instructions, and confirmation sequences that cut no-shows.
  • Pre-visit intake & risk scoringDigital questionnaires with AI chat and voice before arrival, including Tyrer-Cuzick breast cancer risk scoring delivered as DICOM SR.
  • Staff schedulingRadiologist and tech schedules honoring credentials, rest rules, and PTO, with multi-site rebalancing.
ANALYTICS & BACK OFFICE
  • Referring-physician intelligenceTop, growing, declining, and lost referrers on a normalized provider registry, live.
  • Operational dashboardsVolume by modality and physician, scheduling lag, payer mix, and phone-agent performance.
  • Credentialing automationLicenses, DEA, certs, payer enrollment, CAQH, and privileging tracked, no radiologist sidelined by paperwork.
