HIPAA-Compliant AI Chatbot for Medical Practices

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Our AI receptionist answers calls on a real phone number — full AI receptionist-grade voice answering, not a browser-based site widget. Patients calling your practice get answered, even during the morning and evening rush hours when most calls are missed. We also offer a browser-based voice agent if you want answering on your website.","question":"Can an AI receptionist actually answer patient calls for a medical practice, or is it just website chat?"},{"answer":"HIPAA compliance costs can range widely for small to mid-size healthcare organizations, which is why many practices look for cost-effective communication solutions. Agents by AIQ runs month to month with no long-term contracts, and you own everything we build. Book a scoping call and we'll walk through what your practice needs before you commit to anything.","question":"How much does a HIPAA-compliant answering service cost for a small practice?"},{"answer":"Yes — that's core to how we build. Every agent is connected to the tools your practice already uses, so the AI receptionist, appointment setters, and follow-up agents work within your existing workflow rather than replacing your systems. We scope your current stack on the first call.","question":"We already use a patient portal and scheduling software. Will your agents work with them?"},{"answer":"It starts with a scoping call where we learn your call volume, front desk pain points, and existing tools. From there, our team designs, builds, and connects your agents, then operates them for you ongoing. Because it's done-for-you, there's no lengthy implementation your staff has to manage on their side.","question":"How long does it take to get an AI receptionist up and running for our practice?"},{"answer":"Traditional answering services route messages; our agents answer calls on a real phone number, handle appointment setting conversations, run follow-up, and automate workflow busywork — all integrated with your existing tools. And unlike typical vendors, we're month to month and your practice owns everything we build. We're not another AI wrapper or DIY toolkit — AIQ Labs builds and operates the agent for you.","question":"How is this different from a traditional medical answering service or call center?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Book a Scoping Call","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Tell us about your practice's call volume, front desk challenges, and the tools you already use."},{"step":"2","title":"We Design and Build Your Agents","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Our team sketches, builds, and connects your AI receptionist and agent workflows, then integrates them with your existing systems."},{"step":"3","title":"We Run It, You Own It","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"AIQ Labs operates your agents month to month.
