Automatic Calling System(Using Twilio API)

Automatic Calling System — IVR Communication
Automation

Project Summary

The Automatic Calling System is a custom-built web application designed to automate outbound call operations for medical offices. It simplifies the traditionally manual process of reaching out to insurance providers to collect, verify, and document patient insurance details. By
integrating Twilio's IVR (Interactive Voice Response) capabilities, the system acts as an intelligent communication assistant — reducing administrative workload and expediting insurance verification processes.

Challenges

The project came with several operational and technical challenges:

  • Automating outbound call operations to multiple insurance companies while maintaining compliance.
  • Capturing and recording responses from automated and human interactions.
  • Dynamically generating call scripts and queries based on patient and insurance data.
  • Providing a user-friendly interface for medical office staff to track call statuses and responses.
  • Ensuring data security and HIPAA compliance throughout the communication and data logging process.

Our Solution

Combining our domain experience in Healthcare workflow automation and expertise in communication APIs, we developed a robust and scalable solution tailored to streamline the insurance verification workflow.

Key Functional Features Delivered:
  • Automated Outbound Calling System:
    Leveraged Twilio API to initiate and manage outbound calls to insurance companies with IVR capabilities.
  • Custom Call Flow Scripting:
    Calls dynamically construct their script based on patient-specific insurance details retrieved via the platform.

Technology Stack

  • Backend Framework: Flask
  • Communication API: Twilio
  • Data Processing: Pandas
  • AI/NLP Integration: GPT-4

Business Impact

  • Reduced insurance verification turnaround time by automating call operations
  • Minimized administrative workload, freeing up staff for higher-value tasks
  • Improved accuracy and consistency in collecting insurance information
  • Enabled real-time tracking and logging of insurance verification calls
  • Enhanced patient experience by expediting their claim and coverage confirmations
