“Hey, um, hi. So I, uh, I think I chipped a tooth last night and it's kinda starting to hurt? Like, can I get in to see somebody?”
- Ava
“Oh no, sorry to hear that. Yeah, let's get you in. Quick thing, is the pain pretty manageable or are we talking like, you need to be seen today?”
- Caller
“No no, it's manageable. Just kinda stings when I drink something cold.”
- Ava
“Okay gotcha. Have you been to Taylor Dentistry before, or first time?”
- Caller
“First time, yeah.”
- Ava
“Cool, welcome. Can I grab your name?”
- Caller
“Yeah, John, John Martinez.”
- Ava
“Thanks John. And the best number to reach you?”
- Caller
“512 555 0142.”
- Ava
“Got it. Do you have dental insurance you wanna use?”
- Caller
“Yeah, Delta Dental PPO.”
- Ava
“Perfect, do you have your member ID on you? I can check your benefits real quick while we're talking.”
- Caller
“Uh yeah, hold on… it's 8 4 7 2 9 1 5 5 0.”
- Ava
“Cool, one sec, lemme pull that up…”
Eligibility check, ~2s
- Ava
“Alright John, good news, your plan's active. Delta covers preventive at 100%, basic stuff like fillings at 80%, and you've got a $50 deductible that hasn't been hit yet this year. So for the chipped tooth you're probably looking at 50 bucks plus around 20% of the restoration. Team'll give you the exact number when you come in.”
- Caller
“Okay yeah, that works.”
- Ava
“Great. For a new patient exam plus the chipped tooth, I've got Monday at 9:30 in the morning, or Tuesday at 2 PM with Dr. Taylor. Which one works?”
- Caller
“Uh, Monday. 9:30.”
- Ava
“Done, you're booked. Last thing, cool if I shoot you a text with confirmation, the new patient forms to fill out before you come in, and a reminder Sunday night?”
- Caller
“Yeah for sure.”
- Ava
“Awesome. You'll get that text in a minute. Anything else I can help with?”
- Caller
“Nope, that's it. Thanks.”
- Ava
“Take care of that tooth John. See you Monday.”
