- A healthcare billing company deployed a HIPAA-compliant voice agent that calls patients to explain charges and collect payment on the spot.
- Since December: 61,246 calls, 420 hours of patient conversation, and 97% of conversations across channels completed without human involvement.
- Each connected call costs about 7 cents in telephony plus model inference, before infrastructure, payment processing and staff.
- The problem it solves: statements list codes without explanations and providers lack staff for follow-ups; first patient call went out 15 weeks after kickoff. Touted as the best voice-agent case study on the platform.
