Healthcare practices.
Clinicians on care, agents on everything else.

002/OPERATIONAL · REALITY

Where the hours
actually go.

/01

Patient scheduling chaos

Scheduling runs across phone calls, portals, and staff coordination. No-shows, double-bookings, and gaps pile up. Patient access is the top reason new patients go elsewhere.

/02

Prior authorization burden

Prior auths consume hours per provider per week — forms, calls, appeals. Delays in authorization delay care and stall revenue.

/03

Claim denial avalanche

15% of claims are initially denied. Half are never resubmitted. That's direct revenue loss. Manual follow-up doesn't scale past a certain claim volume.

/04

Staff burnout and turnover

Medical assistants, billers, and front-office staff are drowning in manual workflows. Turnover is high. Training is expensive. The operational load is unsustainable.

003/AUTONOMOUS · SYSTEMS

What Hendricks deploys
for this vertical.

SYSTEM · 001● LIVE

Autonomous patient access

Agents handle scheduling, insurance verification, benefit eligibility, intake forms, and pre-visit communication. Patients get instant confirmation. No-shows drop because reminders and re-scheduling are automated.

SYSTEM · 002● LIVE

Revenue cycle agents

Agents monitor every claim from submission to payment. Flag denials instantly. Draft appeals with evidence from the chart. Track aging and surface revenue at risk before it's written off.

SYSTEM · 003● LIVE

Prior auth automation

Agents initiate prior auths the moment they're needed, pull clinical justification from the chart, submit to payers, and track status. Human review only when the payer requires it.

SYSTEM · 004● LIVE

Patient engagement agents

Agents handle pre-visit preparation, post-visit follow-up, medication reminders, and routine questions — freeing clinicians to focus on the visits that require them.

005/FAQ

Common questions
we hear from this vertical.

/ Q · 01

Is Hendricks HIPAA-compliant?

Hendricks deploys on HIPAA-eligible Google Cloud infrastructure with BAAs in place. Data encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and full audit logging on every agent action.

/ Q · 02

Does this integrate with our EHR?

Yes. Agents integrate with common EHR systems via FHIR and native APIs. The architecture sits on top of your EHR rather than replacing it.

/ Q · 03

How do you handle agent decisions that touch patient care?

Agents never make clinical decisions. They handle the administrative operational work around care — scheduling, prior auths, claims, follow-up. Any action that requires clinical judgment is escalated to a clinician with full context.
