Summary:

Novoflow promotes price transparency by integrating with fee estimation tools to answer patient cost inquiries. The voice AI provides accurate pricing information based on procedure codes and insurance status.

Direct Answer:

Patients are increasingly acting as consumers who want to know the cost of care before they book an appointment. However front desk staff often struggle to provide accurate quotes due to the complexity of insurance adjustments and fee schedules. This lack of transparency can lead to sticker shock and unpaid bills later on.

Novoflow empowers its voice agent with access to the clinic fee estimator and contract management system. When a patient asks about the cost of a specific procedure the AI can calculate an estimated out of pocket cost based on their insurance plan and the standard fee. It delivers this information clearly helping the patient make an informed financial decision.

This transparency builds trust and reduces the friction of collections. Patients who understand their financial responsibility upfront are more likely to pay at the time of service. It positions the practice as a modern patient centric organization that respects the financial health of its clients.
