The front desk can’t do It all

Calls gets pushed aside

For specialty and multi-site clinics, patients still rely on the phone.

Calls come in nonstop and land on the same staff handling check-ins and insurance. Patients wait on hold, calls drop, and frustration builds for everyone. Legacy IVR systems break down, routing gets messy, and after-hours means someone is always on call.

Parlance voice AI takes care of the routine work, so your team can focus on the patient in front of them without leaving the one on the phone waiting.

Natural Conversation

Patients say what they need & Parlance handles the rest

Parlance voice AI answers inbound calls with natural conversation, eliminating menus and hold queues for routine requests.

Patients simply say what they need, and calls are routed accurately to the right team. What Parlance automates for clinic groups:​

Scheduling, confirmations, and cancellations all handled by voice

Inbound Call Routing

Across single sites and multi-site networks

After-Hours Handling

Consistent IVA-driven coverage, day or night

Prescription Refill

Refill requests are processed quickly and efficiently

Intelligent Call Routing

Directions and location navigation support

Voice AI provides locations, hours, & directions

Automatic Call Escalation

Escalates calls requiring human judgment to staff

Parlance healthcare voice AI answers routine calls instantly, so staff can focus on escalations, urgent requests, and patient conversations that require a human touch.

One Call Entry Point

Intelligent routing across your entire clinic network

Multi-site clinic groups face a more complex call flow than single-location practices. Patients call expecting immediate access to the right location, provider, or department, but routing across multiple sites often creates unnecessary transfers, long hold times, and overloaded front desk teams.

Parlance uses HIPAA-compliant AI powered voice assistants, to understand caller intent and route each call accurately across every location. No separate phone trees for each office and no rigid menu systems designed for single-site practices.

Calls move between locations automatically and after-hours coverage redirects without an on-call human. Daily directory updates prevent the 20 to 30 percent annual degradation that misroutes patients across most patient access contact centers.

Patients don’t stop needing answers at 5 PM

They call about next-day appointments, prescription refills, and urgent issues that don’t require the emergency department but still need a response. Parlance provides consistent, professional after-hours coverage without requiring staff to be on call.

After-hours 
self-service for patient scheduling & FAQ resolution.

Urgent call escalation and on-call provider routing for clinical matters.

Appointment scheduling for the next available slot.

Clear communication of emergency protocols for callers with acute needs.

The result:

Patients receive a professional, consistent experience after hours.

Staff are not pulled from personal time to handle routine after-hours volume.

Urgent calls reach 
the right person without routing failures.

Having Parlance as a reliable solution was invaluable as we built out the Access Center. We simply wouldn’t have been able to build it with the offsite staff. It’s really been a huge win for us. ”

Works with your existing systems

HIPAA-compliant by design

Parlance connects directly to your scheduling system, so it sees the same availability, provider schedules, and routing your front desk uses. When patients call, appointments are scheduled and information updates in real time.

Every interaction, voice, SMS, and web chat, is HIPAA-compliant.

HIPAA-compliant two-way texting

Beyond voice, Parlance SMS supports HIPAA-compliant two-way texting for reminders, confirmations, and patient questions, giving patients another way to reach you.

Information to Guide you

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the IVA create messages in the electronic health record for providers?

Yes. Parlance can generate structured messages for placement in the electronic health record. We work with your organization to determine the specific information required in provider messages and design a series of questions that guide the caller through the necessary data collection. This information is then formatted and transmitted to populate the message according to your EMR protocols.

How does Parlance handle return calls from providers when caller ID shows the main switchboard number?

When patients receive calls from provider numbers that display as the main switchboard or organization number, they frequently call back without checking voicemail or text messages. While our system cannot access individual provider voicemails to retrieve specific callback information, we provide clear guidance to callers. The automated response directs them to check their voicemail and text messages, as these will contain the specific provider name and reason for the call. If the caller knows the provider’s name, they can state it and be routed accordingly.

Parlance serves clinic groups from $30M specialty 
practices to $75B+ national networks.

Parlance scales with how clinics actually operate. It’s used across everything from independent specialty groups to large health systems, adapting to each organization’s size, systems, and workflows.

The Parlance team brings deep healthcare experience, with an average of 10+ years working in health systems and patient access operations.

Parlance is part of Constellation Software, providing the long-term stability health systems expect. Most organizations see measurable ROI within 30 days, with performance that holds over time.
