Never Miss a New Patient or a Crisis Call Again
A 24/7 HIPAA-compliant AI receptionist that screens leads, verifies insurance, and syncs directly with SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Jane App.
Mental health practices face a unique administrative burden where the cost of a missed call is often a lost long-term patient. Solo practitioners lose an average of $30,000 per year due to no-shows and unreturned intake inquiries. With no-show rates hovering between 20-30%, the financial stability of a private practice relies heavily on consistent follow-up and efficient scheduling.
Furthermore, the complexity of verifying insurance panels like Headway or Alma and adhering to strict 42 CFR Part 2 regulations makes generic answering services a liability. Read Laboratories deploys specialized AI agents that understand the nuance of clinical intake, ensuring that patients are screened for clinical fit and insurance compatibility before they ever reach your calendar.
Problems We Solve
High No-Show Rates
Automated, empathetic follow-ups and rescheduling via voice and SMS reduce the industry-standard 30% no-show rate to under 10%.
Intake Bottlenecks
Screens new patients for clinical fit, specialty alignment (e.g., CBT, EMDR), and insurance coverage before booking into your EHR.
Crisis Handling Risks
Uses sentiment analysis and keyword detection to instantly route high-risk calls to emergency services or your on-call clinician.
Insurance Verification Lag
Collects PPO/HMO details and verifies benefits in real-time, preventing the 'first session billing' surprises that lead to patient churn.
Administrative Burnout
Eliminates the 'phone tag' cycle between sessions, allowing clinicians to focus on patient care rather than logistics.

What It Costs
Setup
$2,500 - $3,500
Monthly

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the AI truly HIPAA compliant?
Yes. We sign a BAA with every practice. Our AI agents use SOC2 Type II compliant infrastructure, and all call transcripts are encrypted at rest and in transit, adhering to HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 standards.
How does the AI handle patients in crisis?
The agent is programmed with a priority 'Crisis Protocol.' If a caller mentions self-harm or emergency symptoms, the AI immediately provides the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number and offers to route the call to a human or 911.
Can it check if I take a specific insurance?
Absolutely. We load your specific panels (e.g., Aetna, BCBS, Cigna) into the AI's knowledge base. It can ask for the patient's member ID and group number to facilitate verification before the first session.
Does it work with SimplePractice or TherapyNotes?
Yes, we use secure API integrations to check your real-time availability and book new patient intakes directly into your calendar without manual entry.
Can the AI sound like a real person?
We use advanced text-to-speech models that offer warm, empathetic, and professional voices. Most patients cannot distinguish the AI from a remote receptionist, which is vital for building trust in a clinical setting.
What happens if the AI doesn't know the answer?
If a question exceeds the AI's training, it gracefully offers to take a detailed message and informs the caller that a clinician or admin will follow up within a specific timeframe.
