Questions they type or ask AI

“Are you accepting new patients?”
“What does a standard check-up cost?”
“Do you accept my insurance?”
“What are your opening hours?”
“How do I reschedule an appointment?”
“Where do I park?”

Why this matters for GEO

AI assistants quote pages that state facts clearly, in question-and-answer form. Each answer here cites the page it came from, so the same fact appears in search, in chat and in the assistant’s summary.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

No. It answers administrative questions and routes clinical ones to your staff.

Is it HIPAA compliant?

We do not claim HIPAA certification. The assistant is built to answer from published content and to avoid patient records; your compliance review decides fit.

It collects the request and your team confirms; direct calendar booking is not included.

Can it answer insurance questions?

From your published insurance list, with a note when staff must confirm.

Can it speak other languages?

Answers follow the patient's language; interface text is available in four languages today.

What should we upload?

Hours, services, insurance, parking and appointment policy — no patient data.

Do I need a developer to install it?

No. You paste one script tag before the closing body tag of your site, or use a code block in your builder. Most sites are live in about 10 minutes.

Which file types can I add to the knowledge base?

PDF, DOCX, RTF, XLSX, XLS, CSV, PPTX, PPT, TXT, MD, HTML, JSON and XML — 11 format processors. Up to 50 MB per file and up to 200 pages per PDF. Scanned images are not supported.

Which languages does it answer in?

It answers in the visitor's language, using your content. Interface text is available in English, Chinese, German and Arabic today; more interface languages are planned.

How is usage counted?

One visitor message or one assistant reply is one message. One question plus one answer is two messages, so plans are quoted in complete answers — 1,250 answers per month on Basic is 2,500 messages.
