Thanks for calling Pinewhistle Physio. This is Riley, the clinic's AI assistant, and this call is recorded. How can I help?
Hi. I was rear-ended last week and my neck's really sore. Do I need a doctor's note to come in?
I'm sorry to hear that. You don't need a referral to book here. Is this visit related to the car accident?
Yes.
Thanks. I'll note that so the front desk can start the paperwork with you. Please don't share your claim or policy numbers with me; the desk takes those directly.
Okay. Do you bill my insurance?
We direct bill most extended health plans, and auto claims go through the front desk. Are you a new patient with us?
Yes. Should I be icing it or using heat in the meantime?
I'm the clinic's AI assistant, so I can't give health advice. Your physiotherapist will cover that at your first visit. If you have numbness, weakness or severe pain, please call 911 or go to an emergency department.
No, nothing like that. Just stiff.
Okay. The first visit is a 60-minute initial assessment. I have tomorrow at 4:15 with Priya or Saturday at 10:00 with Mark.
Tomorrow at 4:15.
Booked. Can I get your full name and a number I can text the confirmation to?
Amir Haddad. This number.
Thanks, Amir. You'll get a text now with the time, the address and parking. The desk will call you before your visit about the claim. Anything else?
Amir gets a confirmation text. The clinic gets: New patient, Amir Haddad, initial assessment Tue 4:15 with Priya. Auto claim: yes. Benefits: yes. Reason, in the caller's words: neck sore after a rear-end collision. No claim or policy numbers taken.
