Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI voice agent handle vision insurance questions accurately?

It's trained on major vision plans — VSP, EyeMed, Davis, Spectera — and explains coverage basics by phone. For complex benefit interpretations, it collects plan details and routes to your billing team with all information pre-gathered.

How does the voice agent handle urgent eye care calls?

It asks about symptoms — redness, pain, sudden vision changes, flashes — and determines urgency based on your clinical triage rules. Urgent calls are routed to the doctor's line; non-urgent concerns are scheduled for the next available slot.
