The Situation

A six-provider primary care group was losing front-desk hours to manual intake — paper forms, phone-tag for insurance verification, and no-shows that went uncaught until the appointment slot was already gone.

The Approach

Rather than replacing their EHR, we layered an automated intake flow on top of it: digital pre-visit forms, automatic insurance verification, and a reminder sequence timed to actually reduce no-shows, not just add notifications. Staff kept their existing systems — the automation ran underneath, not instead of.

The Result

New-patient intake time dropped 42%, and no-show rates fell 18% within the first full month. No new software for staff to learn, and no disruption to how the front desk already worked.
