A Front Desk AI, Ready for Your Privia Practice

Your front desk fields the same relentless call volume every Privia practice knows—scheduling, refills, insurance questions, new patients—usually with a team that’s already stretched.

Talkie is an approved vendor for Privia Health practices. Its AI agents answer every call and message around the clock and take the routine work off your staff, right inside athenaOne. And because Privia has already vetted Talkie on security, integration, and fit, your practice skips the long evaluation and gets to a fast, low-risk start.

Over the last month, Talkie’s handled over 6,000 phone calls. They work with our workflow; we don’t have to conform to theirs. The other day, I walked out with the phone supervisor at 5:05, and they were just like, ‘Oh my gosh, we never get out of here close to 5. We’re usually out of here around 6.’ So they were all smiles. The Talkie team wants you to succeed, and they do whatever they can to make sure the implementation is successful.

Before Talkie, our front desk was really struggling – they couldn’t attend the phones in a timely manner while also checking patients in and out. Now AI Sophie answers over 1,000 calls a month, which humanly we would not have been able to handle. Over one third of those are during off hours, so we would have missed out on all those patients. We were also able to let go of our answering service – so we actually saved money too.

We needed help when my front office staff was busy with calls so that patient calls did not go unanswered. I wanted to avoid having to add more staff and keep costs low. It took a little while for patients to be receptive of the AI agent but now have become accustomed to using it. During a recent period where I lost a front office person and my referral coordinator back to back, I noticed the call volume handled by the AI attendant had gone up greatly. It gave me peace of mind to know these calls did not go unanswered and to also know I was not missing out on these visits.

Working with the team at Talkie.ai has been a truly smooth experience! We’ve already noticed a significant difference since implementing their virtual front desk, effectively eliminating the issue of missed calls.

After receiving 3700 phone calls in 1 month we needed help. Talkie has eliminated the burden of the calls, freeing up the staff to have more one on one interactions with patients. Jessica works when we don’t, which allows for after hour scheduling and requests for refills.

Talkie.ai has been a great experience for us. It has reduced the burden significantly. Messages including voicemail show up in the chart almost instantly and very accurate. This has been a great addition to our practice, and it is hard to imagine running the practice without it.

Talkie AI is doing the hard part for us. It handles about 5,000 calls a month—gathering the key patient information, capturing the referral details, and getting everything ready so our team can move straight to scheduling. It saves our staff a huge amount of time and helps us focus on the few cases that actually need manual follow-up. Honestly, Talkie AI feels like it’s doing about three-fourths of the job already—it’s been a real win for our workflow. Great for our Allergy and Asthma practice!

FAQ

  • Is Talkie approved for Privia practices?

    Yes. Talkie is an approved vendor for practices in the Privia Health network, which means Privia has already vetted and approved it—so your practice adopts a partner Privia trusts, and skips running that evaluation itself.

  • What is Privia’s review process?

    Before approving a vendor, Privia evaluates it on security, integration capability, and workflow fit, among other criteria. Talkie has already cleared that review, so the security checks, integration validation, and workflow diligence are done for you rather than something your practice has to repeat.

  • Does Talkie work with athenahealth?

    Yes. Talkie is an official partner listed on the athenahealth Marketplace, with a native athenaOne integration that reads live availability and writes scheduling, refills, and patient cases directly into the system. Talkie integrates just as deeply with Elation Health, ModMed EMA, AdvancedMD, and eMedicalPractice, so a practice on a different EHR is covered too.

  • Is Talkie a fit for a small or independent practice?

    Yes. There’s no minimum size—the agent scales to your call volume and your workflows.

  • Is Talkie secure and HIPAA-compliant?

    Yes. Talkie is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA-compliant. Every call and text is documented in athenaOne, and the agent leaves clinical questions to your care team.
