Will patients get messages we haven't approved?
No. Tabflows drafts and sorts; your billing team and front desk reads, edits and sends. Nothing reaches a patient until someone on your team approves it.
Do we need to switch from Athena and Spruce?
No. Answer Spruce billing questions with athena statement details works inside the Athena and Spruce accounts your clinic already uses. There is nothing to migrate and no new system for your team to learn.
When does it run?
It starts when a billing question arrives in Spruce. Tabflows works through 4 steps, and the result lands with your billing team and front desk, saving an estimated 6 min per message.
