Pro Tips

1

Always use 'Human-in-the-Loop' protocols for complex clinical questions that the AI agent cannot resolve with 100% certainty.

2

Integrate your AI caller with your LAMA lists to ensure you aren't contacting patients who have previously opted out.

3

Prioritize patients with dual eligibility as AI can quickly navigate their complex benefit structures for APCM billing.

4

Use a local caller ID for AI outreach to increase answer rates, as patients are 4x more likely to answer local numbers.

5

Record a custom 'warm intro' from the lead physician to play at the start of the AI call to establish immediate trust.
