Epic + Urgent Care

Epic AI Front Desk for Urgent Care

A urgent care practice running Epic has two separate problems: the calls that never get answered, and the detail that never makes it into the chart. This covers both.

Why urgent care calls need specialty rules

Share wait times, capture insurance, and keep lobby chaos under control with instant phone coverage.

Wait List Transparency

Callers hear live wait times pulled from your queue before deciding to arrive.

Insurance Verification

Katie collects payer info and uploads card photos before patients walk in.

Symptom Escalation

Critical symptoms route to clinicians immediately while routine visits stay in queue.

What lands in Epic

Triage happens on the call. What reaches Epic is a structured record in the place your team already works, not a voicemail someone has to transcribe.

  • Read-only access to appointments via RPA or App Orchard
  • Drop call summaries into In Basket or work queues
  • Optional SmartForm intake for referrals

Setting it up for a urgent care practice on Epic

Go-live is typically 7 to 14 days. Most of that time is spent on your rules rather than on the integration itself.

  • Confirm which Epic modules your practice uses
  • Decide where each call type should land in Epic

Security and compliance

PHI handling is covered by a signed BAA before anything goes live.

  • BAA-backed deployment
  • Audit logging synced with Epic security
