Why practices hire Avery

Front-desk automation built for ophthalmology practices.

Coverage

When your team is out, Avery isn't.

PTO, sick days, that week your front desk is short-staffed. Tomorrow's clinic still gets verified on schedule — every patient, every morning.

Morale

The work nobody wants? Avery handles it.

Holding on payer lines, re-keying benefits, chasing member IDs. Avery takes the eligibility grind so your team does the work they trained for.

Fits your workflow

No new system to learn.

Avery marks each patient cleared exactly the way your front desk already does — same status field, same worklist. Nothing for your team to relearn.

Avery's first skill

A note on how we build

Skills, not new hires.

Most vendors sell you a new tool for every workflow. We don't — Avery learns new skills as you need them, same teammate, same place in your workflow.

When Avery can't answer

FAQ

Automated insurance verification, answered.

Does Avery work with our EHR and practice management (PM) system?
Yes. Avery reads your schedule and the insurance fields it needs from your EHR and PM system, then writes the verified result back into the exact status field your front desk already uses. We confirm what's supported for your systems on the kickoff call.

How deep does the integration go — does Avery write back into our system?
You choose the depth. Most practices use write-back, where Avery posts verified status and benefits straight into your system. You can also start with a worklist your team enters, or hand Avery full clearance. Change depth anytime; no contract waiting period.

What patient data can Avery access?
Only what the job needs: the schedule, the patient's insurance plan and member ID, and the status field it writes back to. Avery doesn't touch clinical notes, billing, or patient messages, and access is scoped separately for each skill.

What happens when Avery isn't sure, or gets something wrong?
Anything Avery can't answer cleanly is flagged with the reason and routed to your team, never guessed. Every check is saved with the payer response and Avery's reasoning so you can review any answer, and hand-off rules are tuned when something's wrong.

Is Avery HIPAA compliant, and will you sign a BAA?
Yes. HIPAA safeguards are in place and we sign a BAA before kickoff. There's an audit trail on every access, your data is never used to train shared models, and we'll send a security overview to your IT or compliance reviewer ahead of signing.

How long does it take to go live?
About two weeks: a discovery call, provisioning, a few days of shadow mode, then go-live. Your office manager spends roughly two hours total and no IT team is needed. Deeper integrations can take longer if a vendor is slow to grant access.

How much does automated insurance verification cost?
$4 per completed check — a coverage answer with benefits written to the chart. No subscriptions, per-seat fees, or monthly minimum. A one-time $2,500 implementation fee is invoiced only at go-live, and checks the payer can't answer are free.

Can we pause or cancel anytime?
Yes. No multi-year contract and no minimums. Because you pay per completed check, slowing or stopping lowers your bill automatically, and you can pause completely while we keep your setup ready.
