How many hours can you get back?
Your volume, your times, your labor cost. Estimates, not results.
Invoices × (minutes today − minutes with the agent) ÷ 60 × hourly cost
These are example assumptions, not results. Example for a group with 20 locations: minutes cover pulling, price-checking, coding and routing. Use your own numbers.
Questions owners ask us
Do we have to buy new software or connect anything?
No. The agent works in the software you already use, with the same screens, keyboard and mouse your team uses, under logins you give it. Nothing to replace and nothing to integrate.
How is the agent built?
You explain the job the way you'd train a new hire: talk or type, and hand over your SOP and a few real examples. Then it does a real one live while you watch and correct it. Your process is saved as a flowchart and a written procedure, and every run follows the version you approved.
Will it pay vendors on its own?
No. It enters bills and prepares the pay run. A person releases every payment, and bank-detail changes always go through your call-back check.
Does it touch patient data?
No. The agent is only given logins for your accounting system and vendor portals. It has no access to your EHR or practice management system, and the AP process does not need any.
How does it know our contract prices?
From where you keep them: the supplier portal's contract price list, or your own price file. It checks each invoice line against that price and shows both numbers when they differ.
Can we change the process later?
Any time. Add a step, change a rule, move an approval or drop one. Tell the agent what changed, review the new flowchart and save it as a new version.
Which location should we start with?
Bring last month's invoices for one location.
