AI for SourceMedical Ascend
Voice and browser agents that work alongside SourceMedical Ascend — automating phone calls, prior authorization, eligibility verification, denials, and supply chain coordination for ambulatory surgery centers.
AI Voice Agents for ASC EHR Calls
Inbound and outbound patient calls answered by AI in seconds — pre-op NPO instructions, post-op follow-ups, scheduling, eligibility verification, and prior auth status calls. Every transcript and outcome flows back into SourceMedical Ascend as a structured note.
Browser Agents That Operate SourceMedical Ascend
AI browser agents log into Ascend the same way your staff does — opening case lists, submitting prior authorizations, verifying eligibility through payer portals, posting denial task updates, and writing structured notes back into the EHR, PM, and billing modules. No HL7, FHIR, or API integration required.
Prior Authorization & RCM Automation for Ascend
For every surgical case, Flexbone's agents submit prior auth requests through payer portals, call payers when portals fail, track status across the case lifecycle, and post approvals back into Ascend. Eliminates the 13+ hours per week ASC staff typically lose to PA and payer follow-up work.
Eligibility Verification & Denial Management
Real-time eligibility checks across 25+ payer portals before every case. Denial letters ingested via OCR, root cause classified, follow-up tasks created inside Ascend, and corrected claims pushed back to clearinghouses — all without manual touch. Turn denied claims into recovered revenue instead of write-offs.

Built for Multi-Specialty ASCs on Ascend
AI agents configured for the surgical specialties SourceMedical Ascend supports, with workflows tuned to each — from orthopedic implant coordination to high-volume ophthalmology days.
Orthopedic ASCs
Pre-op clearances, implant vendor coordination, post-op PT referrals. AI calls confirm imaging, medical clearances, and DME orders — with implant logs written back to Ascend's supply chain module.
Ophthalmology ASCs
High-volume cataract days. AI handles eligibility verification at scale, post-op drop instructions, and follow-up scheduling — without overloading staff or missing eligibility edits.
GI & Endoscopy
Bowel prep instructions, NPO confirmation, sedation history review. AI handles the pre-op call workload that scales with screening volume — with every outcome logged to Ascend.
Pain Management
Repeat injection scheduling, prior auth on every interventional procedure, opioid screening, and post-procedure check-ins all handled by AI inside the Ascend case record.
Surgical Hospitals
Ascend's surgical-hospital customers get the same voice and browser coverage — extended to inpatient discharge calls, transfer coordination, and multi-day PA tracking.
ENT & Multi-Specialty
Specialty-specific call flows in a single deployment. AI agents route by surgeon, procedure, and payer logic — no separate system per specialty, no new Ascend modules to buy.

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 — your call patterns, payer mix, specialty mix, and Ascend workflows. Week 2 is build and integration. Week 3 is supervised go-live. Week 4 is optimization with our forward-deployed engineers tuning the system to your ASC's specific edge cases and Ascend writeback patterns.
Yes. Because Ascend's differentiator is deep case costing and supply chain, Flexbone's browser agents can write preference card confirmations, implant log entries, and vendor back-order updates into the correct Ascend modules after each case. Voice agents can also call vendors to confirm implant availability and update case records before the day of surgery.
Pre-op patient calls (NPO instructions, arrival times, medication review), post-op follow-ups, scheduling and rescheduling, insurance eligibility verification, prior authorization status calls to payers, vendor implant confirmation calls, and denial appeal calls. All call recordings, transcripts, and outcomes are written back into SourceMedical Ascend.
