AI Agents for NextGen Healthcare
Voice and browser agents that work alongside NextGen Office, NextGen Enterprise, and NextGen Surgical Center — automating phone calls, prior authorization, eligibility verification, and denials for ambulatory groups, FQHCs, and multi-specialty practices.
AI Voice Agents for NextGen Practices
Inbound and outbound calls answered by AI in seconds — new-patient intake, prescription refills, scheduling, eligibility verification, and prior auth status calls. Every transcript and outcome flows back into NextGen Office or NextGen Enterprise, with structured notes written to the correct encounter, specialty template, or FQHC workflow.
Browser Agents That Operate NextGen Office & NextGen Enterprise
AI browser agents log into NextGen Office, NextGen Enterprise, and NextGen Surgical Center the same way your staff does — submitting prior authorizations, verifying eligibility through payer portals, posting denial appeals, and writing structured updates back into the ambulatory chart and practice management side. No NextGen API certification or custom HL7 build required.
Prior Authorization Automation for NextGen EHR
For every NextGen encounter — primary care, specialty, or NextGen Surgical Center case — Flexbone's agents submit PA requests through payer portals, call payers when portals fail, track status across the visit lifecycle, and post approvals back to NextGen. Eliminates the 13+ hours per week staff lose to PA work (AMA 2024), and scales cleanly across multi-specialty NextGen Enterprise groups where PA rules vary by service line.
Eligibility Verification & Denial Management for NextGen
Real-time eligibility checks across 25+ payer portals before every NextGen encounter. Denial letters ingested via OCR, root cause classified, billing tasks created in NextGen practice management, and corrected claims pushed back to clearinghouses — all without manual touch. Works inside NextGen Office, NextGen Enterprise, and NextGen Surgical Center billing workflows.
Live in Four Weeks Alongside NextGen
Forward-deployed engineers configure Flexbone to your practice's specific NextGen workflows, specialty mix, FQHC reporting needs, or ASC case patterns.
Week 1 — Discovery
We map your NextGen Office or NextGen Enterprise workflows, specialty templates, payer mix, call volumes, and current PA, eligibility, and denial load. Read-only NextGen credentials provisioned.
Week 2 — Build & Integration
Voice agents trained on your practice's call scripts. Browser agents configured against NextGen Office, NextGen Enterprise, and (if applicable) NextGen Surgical Center. Phone system integration and NextGen writeback logic go live.
Week 3 — Supervised Go-Live
Real patient calls and real PA submissions run through Flexbone and into NextGen, monitored by your team. Edge cases escalate to humans during the ramp.
Week 4 — Optimization
We tune routing accuracy, refine specialty-specific call flows, validate FQHC/UDS-aware workflows where relevant, and verify every NextGen writeback — clinical, scheduling, and billing. Forward-deployed engineers stay engaged post-launch.
Built for NextGen's Full Ambulatory Footprint
NextGen powers multi-specialty groups, FQHCs, independent practices, and ASC modules. Flexbone AI agents are configured per encounter type, with NextGen writebacks tuned to each.
Multi-Specialty Groups on NextGen Enterprise
Specialty-specific call flows, per-payer PA rules, and service-line-aware denial workflows in a single deployment on top of NextGen Enterprise — no separate system per specialty.
FQHCs & Community Health Centers
Sliding-fee conversations, interpreter-ready voice flows, and UDS-aware patient outreach synced into NextGen's FQHC workflows — one of NextGen's strongest verticals.
NextGen Surgical Center (ASCs)
Pre-op NPO, post-op follow-ups, PA on every case, and eligibility across the NextGen Surgical Center case board — the same AI layer Flexbone runs on SIS and HST Pathways.
Large Independent Practices on NextGen Office
Cloud NextGen Office deployments with 5-50 providers: front desk call coverage, refill triage, prior auth, and eligibility verification without a new SaaS stack.
Orthopedics & Cardiology on NextGen
High-PA specialties where every imaging order or procedure needs payer approval. Flexbone runs the end-to-end PA workflow and writes approvals into the NextGen chart.
Behavioral & Pediatric Practices
Recall outreach, recurring therapy scheduling, well-child follow-ups, and benefits checks — routed to the right NextGen encounter template per specialty.
HIPAA Compliant
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. PHI never leaves your compliance boundary.
SOC 2 Type II
Independently audited. BAA signed before any production data flows.
Full Audit Trail
Every AI action logged with transcript, timestamp, and NextGen writeback record.
Human-in-the-Loop
Configurable escalation rules. Your staff stays in control of every edge case.
Frequently Asked Questions
NextGen Healthcare is one of the largest ambulatory EHR and practice management vendors in the US, serving mid-size and large medical practices, multi-specialty groups, federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), and ambulatory surgery centers. Its flagship products include NextGen Office (cloud-based EHR + PM for small-to-mid practices), NextGen Enterprise (the legacy on-prem/hosted platform for larger groups), and NextGen Surgical Center — an ASC-specific module. NextGen is publicly known for strong FQHC market share, deep specialty content libraries, and its own AI product, NextGen Ambient Assist.
Yes. Flexbone deploys voice agents and browser agents that work alongside NextGen Office, NextGen Enterprise, and NextGen Surgical Center. Voice agents handle inbound and outbound patient calls. Browser agents log into NextGen the way your staff does — submitting prior authorizations, verifying eligibility through payer portals, retrieving schedules and encounter data, and writing structured updates back into NextGen — without requiring a custom API or NextGen vendor certification.
Yes. Flexbone is HIPAA compliant with SOC 2 Type II controls, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, role-based access control, and complete audit trails for every AI action. Patient data never leaves your compliance boundary, and a BAA is signed before any production data flows.
Four weeks from contract to first production calls. Week 1 is discovery — mapping your NextGen Office or Enterprise workflows, payer mix, specialty templates, and call patterns. Week 2 is build and integration against NextGen's UI. Week 3 is supervised go-live. Week 4 is optimization with our forward-deployed engineers tuning the system to your practice's specialties, FQHC reporting needs, or ASC case mix.
Yes. Flexbone's browser and voice agents run the full prior authorization workflow for NextGen practices — submitting requests through payer portals, calling payers when portals fail, tracking status across the encounter, and writing approvals back into NextGen. This eliminates the 13+ hours per week practices typically spend on PA work, per AMA 2024, and is especially valuable for multi-specialty NextGen Enterprise groups where PA requirements vary by service line.
NextGen Ambient Assist is a clinical documentation tool — it listens in the exam room and drafts notes into the chart. Flexbone is different: it is an AI labor layer that replaces the phone and portal work your front desk and billing teams do around NextGen. Voice agents handle patient calls, browser agents operate NextGen itself and every payer portal, and the two are stitched into a single PA, eligibility, and denial workflow. Flexbone does not touch Ambient Assist's clinical scribe function — the two are complementary, not overlapping.
