## The Problem

Front-desk eligibility checks for Urgent Care patients run manually against payer portals — patients show up with inactive coverage and the practice absorbs the write-off.

## What We Build in athenahealth

AI runs eligibility 72 hours before every appointment, flags inactive or changed coverage, and triggers patient outreach for new info — write-offs from bad eligibility drop 85%. Purpose-built for teams running athenahealth — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## athenahealth Integration Approach

1. **Audit your athenahealth configuration.** We map the specific athenahealth objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your urgent care practice.
2. **Build on the athenahealth API or agent.** Integration happens inside athenahealth — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in athenahealth with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
