Tebra Integration: Appointments Booked, Charts Untouched

Abby's AI Receptionist answers your practice's phones 24/7, checks your live Tebra schedule, and books the appointment while the patient is on the line: open times offered, the reason for the visit in the appointment notes, new patients added and returning ones matched. Existing appointments are found by name and moved or cancelled per your rules. The clinical record is never touched.

Booked into the Tebra scheduleThe AI Receptionist checks your live Tebra schedule, offers open times with the right provider, and books the visit on the call, reason for visit in the notes.

Reason for visit, every visitEach appointment carries why the patient called, in their own words, so triage happens at a glance, not on a callback.

Boundaries built inHIPAA-compliant options are available, and Abby works the schedule only: it never reads patient records or writes to the chart. The phone and the calendar are ours to help with; the medicine is yours.

When Gloria Okafor calls at 8:04 AM asking to be seen this week, mornings preferred, Abby's AI Receptionist doesn't take a message. It checks Dr. Patel's live Tebra schedule, offers Thursday at 9:20, and books the follow-up while she's on the line, with her reason for the visit in the appointment notes, in her own words.

Your front office opens Tebra to a schedule that already has Thursday filled, alongside the morning's other bookings, each one triaged at a glance because the reason for the visit is right there on the appointment. New patients are added to Tebra on the same call; returning patients like Gloria are matched to the record you already have.

Charts Are Off Limits, On Purpose

Abby's AI Receptionist, the virtual receptionist for Tebra practices, handles what a great front desk handles at the phone: who's calling, why, and when they can come in, then finds the opening in Tebra and books it, with the reason for the visit on the appointment. Changes work the same way: the AI Receptionist finds the patient's appointment by name, offers other open times, and moves it, or cancels it per your cancellation rules. Details are confirmed with the patient on the call; your practice's usual reminders apply.

What Abby doesn't do is just as deliberate. No reading patient records, no writing into the EHR chart; the integration touches the schedule and the patient's contact details, nothing clinical. HIPAA-compliant options are available. And the choice of who answers is yours: Abby's live US-based receptionists are on the same plan for the calls you want a person to pick up, screen, and take a message on, while the scheduling work inside Tebra stays with the AI Receptionist.

Five Fields In, Zero Charts Touched

From the call	Where it lands in Tebra
Caller name and callback number	The patient in Tebra: matched to the existing record, or created for a new patient
Reason for visit, in the patient's own words	The appointment notes: the first line your schedulers read
Preferred days and times	An open slot on the provider's Tebra schedule, offered from live availability and booked on the call
Provider and visit type	The appointment's provider and appointment reason, as you've set them up in Tebra
Urgency, per your protocol	Routed immediately, or booked into the next open time

Scheduling only: the appointment, its notes, and the patient's contact details. Abby never reads patient records and never writes to the chart.

While The Waiting Room Is Full

The 8 AM surgeMonday mornings ring off the hook while the desk checks patients in. Overflow rolls to Abby and callers get booked into open Tebra slots instead of lost to hold music.

Reschedules and cancellationsThe AI Receptionist finds the patient's appointment by name, offers open times from the live schedule, and moves it, or cancels it per your rules, so the desk isn't returning calls to shuffle the calendar.

Billing and insurance questionsStatement questions and coverage checks become clear messages routed to the right person, per your practice's rules.

After-hours, by protocolEvening and weekend calls are answered; routine visits book into tomorrow's open times, urgent calls follow your escalation protocol, and the rest wait, organized, for morning.

How It Works

Onboarding connects your Tebra schedule, sets which providers and visit types the AI Receptionist may book, and captures your routing and escalation protocol.

Abby answers every call in your practice's name, checks the live Tebra schedule, and books, moves, or cancels appointments per your rules.

Appointments land on the Tebra schedule with the reason for visit in the notes; every conversation arrives in your call summary.
