Questions

Is it HIPAA compliant?

Some vendors are and will sign a BAA; many generic AI tools are not. Always confirm in writing.

Can it verify insurance?

Some can collect insurance details; verification usually still needs staff or a dedicated tool.

Will older patients cope?

A clear voice, short questions and an easy 'speak to someone' option matter most.
