AI sales agent for Medical Clinic — how it works
Every missed call is a patient who books with the clinic one search result below yours. Your front desk is checking in a full waiting room, the phone rings out, and the person with a week of back pain — who doesn't even know whether they need primary care or an orthopedist — gives up and keeps scrolling. SL-CLAW is a patient intake chatbot and AI receptionist for medical practices that answers in seconds on your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram, day and night. It clarifies the complaint, routes the patient to the right specialty without ever playing doctor, answers pricing and insurance questions from your own fee schedule, works through hesitation with SPIN questioning, and agrees on a visit time right in the chat — then hands your front desk a qualified, ready-to-confirm patient instead of a voicemail.
Where sales usually get lost in this industry
- Calls come in while your front desk is checking in patients — callers hang up and book with the next practice in the search results.
- Patients look for care at night and on weekends; an unstaffed inbox and a voicemail box answer no one.
- Your staff repeats the same intake script all day: what are your symptoms, are you a new patient, what insurance do you have, what does a visit cost.
- Patients stall at "who do I even see for this?" — without complaint-based routing, they never pick a specialist and never book.
- Web forms and voicemail collect phone numbers, not commitments — someone still has to call everyone back and re-qualify from scratch.
- Instagram DMs and WhatsApp messages sit unanswered because no one at the clinic owns those channels.
What the bot does in this industry
AI sales agent for Medical Clinic: clarifies the complaint and specialty, matches the right specialist and books the appointment. It doesn't just log inquiries — it runs the conversation, qualifies the buyer, handles objections, and drives the deal to close.
- Clarifies the complaint and specialty
- Matches the right specialist
- Books the appointment
Who is this for?
A patient with a complaint who doesn't know which doctor to see, choosing between your clinic and a public one. They book when the agent routes them to the right specialist and finds a convenient time.
Market at a glance
- $9.8T (9.9% of global GDP) — Global healthcare spending (2022) (WHO Global Health Expenditure Report 2024)
- ~22–24% — Private spending share (voluntary + out-of-pocket), OECD average (OECD Health at a Glance)
- ~24.7% CAGR to 2030 — Telehealth market momentum (Grand View Research, Telehealth Market Report)
The math, honestly
- Example inputs: 600 patient conversations a month across your website widget, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram.
- AI cost on the full volume — every dialog, not just the "saved" ones: 600 × ~$0.50 ≈ $300/month, with no subscription on top (real per-dialog range is $0.10–$1).
- If your front desk spends ~4 minutes per routine inquiry, those same 600 conversations represent roughly 40 staff hours a month the chatbot absorbs — including nights and weekends no one staffs.
- Startup: $300 one-time for the bot, $1,000 if you want implementation with hands-on support, plus a $20 usage credit at activation. Compare that to one month of a part-time receptionist and run your own math.
- 14-day money-back guarantee, so the downside of testing it on your real patient flow is capped.
Example inputs only — swap in your clinic's actual inquiry volume. Per-dialog cost varies from $0.10 to $1 with conversation length, and the math above counts the entire dialog volume, not a cherry-picked subset.
Drives the deal to the money — and doesn't drop it
Not an "inquiry received" auto-responder. It walks the customer from the first question all the way to "book a doctor's visit" — and if they go quiet, it follows up on its own.
- Follows up to close: handles the last objections and calmly walks the customer to payment
- Comes back to cold leads — reminds without pressure until the customer buys or clearly declines
- Remembers the customer and chat history — recognizes them by name, budget, and past interests instead of starting from scratch
- Invoices, quotes, contracts, CRM or 1C integration — available as a separate implementation for your business
What else the AI sales agent can do
- Works in Telegram, WhatsApp, Instagram, and the website chat widget — text and voice
- Understands voice messages and replies with voice — speech recognition and synthesis
- Detects the deal stage on its own and moves it forward — 7 stages to close
- Uncovers customer needs with the SPIN technique — asks the right questions
- Answers from your knowledge base — catalog, price list, PDFs, website
- Hands hot leads and tasks to your sales rep, alerts on "hot" stages
- Logs the lead in your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive), creates tasks, and books meetings
- Understands English, Ukrainian, and Russian
- Picks the right AI "power" for the conversation complexity — cheaper on simple ones
FAQ
What if it doesn't work out — can I get a refund?
Yes — a 14-day money-back guarantee from the payment date. Not a fit? Contact support and we'll process the refund within 24 hours. Details are in the Terms of Service.
Will a subscription fee creep in over time?
There is no subscription fee at all. The agent is a one-time purchase ($300, one plan with everything included). After that you only pay for AI usage via the token. If the bot isn't talking, nothing is charged.
What if I can't set it up myself?
Self-service with the step-by-step guide works for most people — it deploys in about an hour. If you'd rather not deal with it, there's a Custom build from $2200: we tailor it to your business, set up integrations (CRM, 1C), load the knowledge base, and train your team.
How to set up the bot for Medical Clinic so it actually sells
- Set up complaint-based routing — the patient immediately knows which specialist to book.
- Prohibit diagnosis consultations — legal and reputational risk is off the table.
- Connect the agent to doctors' schedules — bookings only land on open slots, no double bookings.
Which systems can the bot connect to?
- HubSpot — CRM handoff out of the box
- Pipedrive — CRM handoff out of the box
- Website chat widget
- Telegram
- Your EHR / practice management system (Epic, athenahealth, DrChrono, Kareo and others) — via webhook/API, configured during implementation ($1,000); compatibility confirmed before payment
Does the patient intake chatbot give medical advice or diagnoses?
No, and this is enforced, not just promised. The agent clarifies the complaint and routes the patient to the right specialty — primary care, orthopedics, cardiology — but the diagnosis and treatment plan always come from the physician at the visit. You set hard prohibitions during setup, and because you own the full code, your team can review and tighten every rule.
How does it handle HIPAA and patient privacy?
SL-CLAW is not a hosted SaaS that stores your patients' data on someone else's servers. You receive the complete code and deploy it on infrastructure you control, so your practice — with your compliance advisor — decides where conversations are stored, how long they're retained, and who has access. Privacy requirements are worked through with you during implementation ($1,000 tier), and the 14-day money-back guarantee applies if the setup doesn't fit your compliance needs.
Does it book directly into our EHR or practice management system (Epic, athenahealth, DrChrono, Kareo)?
Honest answer: the agent agrees on a visit time with the patient in the conversation and hands your front desk a structured, qualified lead — your staff confirms the slot in your scheduling system. Passing that lead into an EHR or practice management system is done via webhook or API and is configured as part of implementation ($1,000). We confirm compatibility with your specific system before you pay anything.
Which channels does the AI receptionist cover?
Website chat widget, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Telegram. It also understands voice messages and replies with voice, so patients who prefer talking over typing still get an answer — around the clock, including nights and weekends.
What does it cost to run month to month?
There is no subscription. The bot is $300 one-time. AI usage averages about $0.50 per patient conversation (real range $0.10–$1 depending on length), and you get a $20 usage credit at activation. A clinic handling, say, 600 conversations a month is looking at roughly $300 in usage — example math, plug in your own volume. You only pay for conversations that actually happen.
How long does it take to launch, and what are the options?
The bot itself deploys in about an hour. Three tiers: $300 one-time for the bot, $1,000 for implementation with support (we configure routing rules, your fee schedule, insurance answers, and system handoffs with you), and custom development from $2,200 for practices with nonstandard workflows.
Can it answer pricing and insurance questions accurately?
It answers from your own fee schedule and the insurance policies you load into it — visit prices, self-pay rates, which carriers you work with, what to bring to check-in. It can also issue an invoice for the visit right in the chat, so a patient can commit on the spot instead of "calling back later."
What if it doesn't work for our practice?
There's a 14-day money-back guarantee. And because the code ships to you, you're never locked into our hosting or held hostage by a vendor — the core keeps receiving updates while everything runs under your control.
