AI Receptionist for Elation Health Primary Care Practices

By The Zaya Health team

Elation Health is built for primary care: independent family and internal medicine practices, direct primary care and concierge models, and value-based care groups. Those practices compete on access and relationships, which makes a missed call costly. Zaya is an AI voice receptionist designed by physicians. It answers every call the moment it rings, speaks with patients like a person rather than a phone menu, verifies who's calling, and handles scheduling 24/7, so your team has more time for the relationships that define your practice.

How Zaya connects to Elation

Zaya connects to Elation through its own proprietary integration software. Zaya works alongside Elation as your practice already uses it, so your team keeps its existing schedule, templates, and workflows. We set up and test the connection for your practice during onboarding, so there is nothing for your staff to build.

What Zaya does inside Elation

• Book. Zaya checks the Elation schedule for the right physician and visit type and books the appointment while the patient is on the phone. Appointments are booked directly in the live schedule.
• Reschedule. Zaya finds the existing appointment, offers new times that fit, and moves it so the original time reopens.
• Cancel. Zaya confirms the appointment and cancels it, freeing the slot for patients who need to be seen sooner.
• Verify the patient. Before discussing or changing anything, Zaya verifies the caller by name and date of birth.
• Messages. Refill requests, billing questions, and callback requests are captured in a structured summary. Messages can go directly into Elation as telephone encounters, be emailed to staff, or be viewed in a protected, secure portal.

Zaya recaps every call and can send an SMS confirmation.

Common front-desk problems for Elation practices

• Small teams, big panels. Many Elation practices run with a lean staff caring for large panels. One person on the phone means nobody at the window. Zaya removes the tradeoff.
• Membership practices promise access. Direct primary care and concierge practices sell responsiveness. A voicemail at 7 p.m. undercuts that promise. Zaya answers at any hour and can book or route requests per your rules.
• Value-based care depends on follow-up. Groups in value-based contracts need patients to come back for chronic care visits and annual wellness visits. When a patient calls to schedule, the call must be answered. Zaya makes sure it is.
• Same-day sick visits. Primary care schedules hold same-day slots that fill fast in the morning. Zaya handles the surge of 8 a.m. calls in parallel.
• Refill call volume. Refill requests are a large share of primary care calls. Zaya captures medication, dose, and pharmacy details so clinicians don't have to call back for missing information.
• Language access. Patients who prefer another language get a natural conversation.

Setup steps

1. Map your workflows. We review your call types, visit types, provider rules, and how your team wants messages delivered.
2. Connect Elation. Zaya's integration software is connected to Elation and your phone line, then we test patient verification, scheduling, and message routing.
3. Go live. Zaya starts answering calls on the coverage you choose, such as after hours, overflow, or every call. Setup typically takes about two weeks from kickoff to go-live.
4. Tune and expand. Your team reviews call summaries, and we adjust call handling as your needs change.

Built by physicians

Zaya was built by physicians who know how a busy clinic phone line really works: triage, privacy, and the scheduling rules that live in a front-desk team's heads. That clinical perspective shapes how Zaya handles calls for Elation practices.

Specialties

Elation focuses on primary care, and so do Zaya's Elation call flows:

• Family medicine: visits across all ages, often with one caller scheduling for several family members.
• Internal medicine: chronic disease follow-ups, annual exams, and refill requests.
• Direct primary care and concierge medicine: member-first scheduling and fast responses.
• Value-based primary care groups: annual wellness visits and care-gap follow-ups.
• Pediatrics within primary care: well-child visits and parent-led scheduling.

HIPAA and privacy

Zaya signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every client and has HIPAA safeguards in place. Callers are verified by name and date of birth before any appointment details are discussed or changed, and messages can be viewed by staff in a protected, secure portal.

Zaya supports administrative communication and scheduling. It does not provide medical advice. Callers with a medical emergency should dial 911.
