Question 1

Does Practice Fusion have a built-in phone answering service?

Accepted Answer

No. Practice Fusion is a free cloud-based EHR that handles charting, e-prescribing, scheduling, lab orders, and billing — but it does not answer your phone. AgentZap adds 24/7 AI phone answering on top of Practice Fusion so every patient call is picked up, even when your staff is busy with patients or the office is closed.

Question 2

How does AgentZap integrate with Practice Fusion?

Accepted Answer

AgentZap connects to Practice Fusion through the Practice Fusion FHIR API. When a patient calls, the AI receptionist checks real-time provider availability, confirms the appointment with the caller, and books it directly into your Practice Fusion schedule. Patient demographics and intake data sync automatically. Setup takes about 10 minutes with our guided onboarding.

Question 3

How much does an AI receptionist for Practice Fusion cost?

Accepted Answer

AgentZap starts at $109/month for 150 minutes of call handling. Since Practice Fusion itself is free, your total cost for a complete EHR plus AI receptionist solution is just $109/month — compared to $2,800+/month for a full-time front desk hire. That is a 96% cost savings while providing 24/7 coverage instead of just business hours.

Question 4

Is AgentZap HIPAA compliant for medical practices?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AgentZap is fully HIPAA compliant with signed Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), encrypted data transmission, access controls, and audit logging. All patient information captured during calls is handled according to HIPAA privacy and security rules — the same standards required by Practice Fusion itself.

Question 5

Can AgentZap handle prescription refill requests?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When patients call for prescription refills, the AI captures the medication name, dosage, pharmacy preference, and patient details. The refill request is then routed to the provider for review and e-prescribing through Practice Fusion. This eliminates phone tag and keeps the refill workflow inside your existing EHR.

Question 6

What happens when a patient calls after hours?

Accepted Answer

AgentZap answers every call 24/7/365 with your practice name and greeting. After hours, the AI triages calls based on your protocols — scheduling non-urgent appointments, capturing messages for next-day follow-up, and escalating true emergencies to your on-call provider. Research shows 85% of callers who reach voicemail never call back.

Question 7

Can AgentZap handle new patient intake over the phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When a new patient calls, the AI collects full demographics, insurance information, reason for visit, medical history basics, and preferred appointment times. All data syncs to Practice Fusion so your staff does not have to re-enter anything. The patient arrives with their intake already started.

Question 8

Why do small practices using Practice Fusion need AgentZap?

Accepted Answer

Practice Fusion is free, which makes it ideal for solo and small practices — but those same practices often cannot afford a full-time receptionist. AgentZap fills that gap at $109/month, providing professional phone answering, appointment scheduling, insurance verification, and intake capture. It is the missing front desk for budget-conscious practices.

Question 9

How do I set up AgentZap with Practice Fusion?

Accepted Answer

Setup takes about 10 minutes: (1) Connect your Practice Fusion account to AgentZap using the FHIR API credentials from your Practice Fusion settings, (2) Configure your greeting, office hours, provider schedules, and escalation rules, (3) Forward your practice phone number to your AgentZap number. The AI immediately starts answering calls with your practice name, services, and availability.

Question 10

Can AgentZap verify patient insurance before appointments?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AI captures insurance carrier, member ID, group number, and plan type during the call. It can confirm whether common insurance plans are accepted by your practice and flag any issues before the patient arrives — reducing denied claims and front desk verification workload.
