Book Appointments Anytime to Grow Revenue Faster

24/7 inbound scheduling

Patients can schedule, reschedule, or confirm appointments at any hour with the same specialty-specific precision and EHR-native accuracy as a daytime call.

Intake collected at booking

Assort collects the data your team needs, like patient demographics, insurance, and clinical history, when booking the appointment so your team walks in to complete charts.

Always-on web & chat scheduling

Patients who prefer to book digitally can self-schedule via web form or web chat at any time, with full scheduling logic applied and every appointment written directly to your EHR.

Give Patients the Flexibility to Connect on Their Schedule

Multi-channel access after hours

Whether a patient calls, texts, or visits your website at 10pm, Assort meets them where they are — across voice, SMS, and web chat — and resolves their request in a single interaction, without a callback.

Accurate answers to common questions

Assort answers FAQs consistently and accurately — office hours, directions, accepted insurance, prescription refill requests — so patients get what they need without waiting until morning.

On-call escalation for urgent needs

For patients with urgent clinical concerns, Assort collects the relevant context and routes them to the on-call provider. Urgent patients reach the right person. Everyone else is handled without escalation.

Let Your Team Start the day Focused on Patients, not Callbacks

Fewer overnight calls to return

Every request Assort resolves after hours is one your staff doesn't have to work through in the morning. Scheduling, intake, and FAQs are handled before the office opens.

EHR tasks created automatically

Prescription refill requests, lab result inquiries, and other clinical items are captured in full and written to the EHR as tasks, ready for clinical review without staff re-collection.

Complete charts ready from the first appointment

Appointments booked after hours arrive with intake already done. Your front desk spends the first hour of the day moving patients through, not catching up on what came in overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is after-hours patient access software, and how does it work?

After-hours patient access software allows healthcare practices to handle patient requests like scheduling, intake, FAQs, and clinical task creation outside of normal business hours, without staff involvement. Assort deploys AI agents that answer inbound calls, respond to texts, and handle web chat inquiries around the clock, applying the same specialty-specific scheduling logic and EHR integration as your daytime workflows. Every interaction is written directly to your EHR in real time.

Can an AI agent handle complex scheduling after hours?

Yes. Assort's after-hours agent handles the same scheduling complexity as a trained scheduler, provider-specific rules, appointment type logic, insurance requirements, and multi-step workflows, without simplifying or deferring to a callback. Scheduling is completed within the same interaction, and the appointment is written directly to your EHR.

How does Assort handle urgent patient calls after hours?

Assort's after-hours agent triages patient inquiries in real time. For non-urgent requests like scheduling, FAQs, and prescription refills, the agent handles the interaction autonomously and creates any necessary EHR tasks. For patients with urgent clinical concerns, the agent collects relevant details and escalates to your on-call provider through your existing on-call workflow, so urgent needs are never missed.

What patient intake information can Assort collect after hours?

Assort collects a full intake dataset during after-hours interactions: demographics, insurance details, clinical history, and any practice-specific intake questions. Insurance eligibility can be verified in real time, and patients can submit their insurance card via a mid-call photo link. Every response is entered directly into your EHR, so new appointments arrive with complete charts ready before the visit.

What channels does Assort support for after-hours patient access?

Assort supports inbound voice calls, SMS, and web chat for after-hours patient interactions. Patients can also self-schedule through an online web form at any time. All channels are connected to the same scheduling logic and EHR integration, so every booking or request is handled with the same accuracy regardless of how the patient reaches out.
