Find Out if an AI Agent Can Take the Task

Name one task your team repeats every day. We tell you whether an agent can do it or whether a tool you can buy already does, and we build a demo on your own sample files before you sign.

Bhavesh, our founder, reads every request and usually replies within 2 to 3 hours.

"A fact-checked guide to the companies that build AI agents for US healthcare practices, grouped by job: front desk and phone agents, platforms for health systems, ambient scribes and custom builders. EHRs named, BAA terms in each company’s own words and published prices, read on 23 October 2026. FactoryJet is on the list and says so."

Key Takeaways

  • 1Healthcare AI agent companies fall into four groups: phone and front desk agents you subscribe to, platforms for health systems, ambient scribes, and firms that build a custom agent for you.
  • 2Every fact about every company was read on its own website on 23 October 2026. Compliance lines are each company’s own words. Nobody paid to be listed, and the order is not a ranking.
  • 3HHS says any vendor that handles patient information for a practice needs a written Business Associate Agreement, even a cloud provider storing encrypted data it cannot read.
  • 4Only one subscription company publishes prices: Keragon, from $149 to $1,499 a month. ScienceSoft puts a bounded custom agent at $50,000 to $150,000 or more.
  • 5The AMA reported that 66% of physicians used health AI in 2024, up from 38% in 2023.
  • 6Ask every vendor which EHR it writes to, not only reads, and what happens to an urgent call.

The short answer

Pick the job first. For phone and front desk agents you subscribe to, Assort Health, Arini (dental), Sully.ai or Keragon. For health systems, Notable or Kore.ai. For notes drafted from the visit, Suki or Abridge. To have an agent built around your own EHR, Light-it, ScienceSoft, Technology Rivers, EffectiveSoft or FactoryJet.

We read all 13 companies on their own websites on 23 October 2026: where each is based, what its agent does, which EHRs it names, what it says about HIPAA and BAAs, and any price it publishes. Nobody paid to be listed. The order is not a ranking. FactoryJet wrote this list and is on it.

Short on time? Tell us your EHR and the calls you miss and the founder will tell you which kind of company fits.

On 22 October 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers the same question several times: “Which companies build AI agents for healthcare practices?” We collected 28 answers. They linked to 129 different pages, and 162 of the 391 links went to list pages. The answers mixed software products, development firms and electronic health record vendors without saying which was which.

So we sorted them. We started from the companies those answers named, kept only those with a US base stated on their own site, and read each one’s own pages. We dropped nine, for these reasons:

  • Hyro, Hippocratic AI and Infinitus state no office address on the pages we read.
  • OmniMD and MD Synergy are EHR vendors whose agents run only inside their own record system.
  • Momentum lists its only office in Poland.
  • Arcgent shows no healthcare work on its site.
  • Heidi Health and Microsoft Dragon Copilot were left out to keep the scribe group to two.

Every profile below links to its sources.

Who wrote this. FactoryJet builds custom AI agents for practices, so we are on this list. Nobody paid to be included, the order is not a ranking, and our entry uses the same format as every other company. Read every vendor list with its author in mind, including this one.

A few terms in plain English. An AI agent is software that understands a request and takes an action, such as booking an appointment. An EHR (electronic health record) is the system that holds patient charts and schedules, such as Epic or athenahealth. HIPAA is the US law that protects patient information. A BAA (Business Associate Agreement) is the contract a vendor signs before it may handle that information for you. An ambient scribe listens to the visit and drafts the note.

How we built this list

  1. Start from the buyer’s question. “AI agents for healthcare” and “healthcare AI agents” each get about 170 US Google searches a month, and “AI voice agents for healthcare” about 90 (DataForSEO, October 2026). Smaller variants such as “AI healthcare agents” and “AI agents healthcare” add a few dozen more. Google showed an AI answer on five of the six related searches we checked.
  2. Start from the companies AI answers name. We took the companies cited in those 28 answers and sorted them by what they sell.
  3. Keep only companies with a US base on their own site. A press page, footer address, privacy policy or contact page counts. A logo does not.
  4. Keep only companies a practice can buy from. We left out EHR vendors whose agents work only inside their own record system, because using them means changing your EHR.
  5. Quote compliance in the company’s own words. We do not assess anyone’s HIPAA status. Where a company made no claim in the pages we read, we say so.
  6. No scores we cannot prove. We have not bought these products, so there are no ratings. We say who each suits and one question worth asking.
  7. Prices only from the company. Where a company publishes a price, we quote it and link the page.

The BAA question comes first

Before features, check the contract. HHS says a practice may share patient health information with a business associate only with satisfactory assurances in a written contract, the Business Associate Agreement. Its cloud computing guidance adds two points that apply to AI vendors:

  • A cloud provider that creates, receives, keeps or sends electronic patient information for a practice is a business associate, and the two must sign a BAA.
  • A provider that stores encrypted patient information is still a business associate, even if it has no key and cannot view the data.

In plain words: if the agent hears a patient’s name and appointment reason, the company behind it needs a BAA with you. Of the 12 other companies on this page, four say in the text we read that they sign, include or work under BAAs, and Light-it says its architecture is BAA-ready. Three made no HIPAA, BAA or SOC 2 claim in the text we read. Each profile quotes what the company says.

What these companies publish about price

Most healthcare AI companies quote after a demo. On the pages we read on 23 October 2026, three of the 12 other companies published a figure. We copied them exactly. They are each company’s own figures, not FactoryJet prices.

CompanyPublished figure (USD)Source (opened 23 Oct 2026)
KeragonStarter $149 a month ($99 a month billed yearly), Professional $399 ($269 yearly), Scale Up $1,499 ($995 yearly), Enterprise custom. 14-day free trialwww.keragon.com/pricing
ScienceSoftHealthcare agentic AI development from $50,000+ for a bounded workflow agent to $1,000,000+ for a multi-part solution; $50,000 to $150,000+ for a bounded workflow agentwww.scnsoft.com/healthcare/artificial-intelligence/agentic-ai
Technology RiversA basic healthcare app could start at around $20,000; advanced apps can pass $100,000. This is its figure for apps in general, not a stated agent pricetechnologyrivers.com/services/healthcare/

How to read this. Keragon’s figure is a monthly subscription for a platform you configure. ScienceSoft’s is a one-time build. Technology Rivers’ figure covers healthcare apps in general, not agents. The two are different kinds of spend: a subscription keeps costing while you use it, a build is paid once and you own it. For what an AI receptionist costs in more detail, read how much an AI medical receptionist costs.

Which healthcare AI agent company fits your practice

Find the line that sounds most like you.

“We are a specialty practice and we miss too many calls.”Assort Health, or a custom phone agent if your EHR is not on its list.
“We are a dental practice or dental group.”Arini. FactoryJet if you want an agent built around Dentrix that you own.
“We want one vendor for phones, notes and coding.”Sully.ai.
“We are small and want to set up our own automations.”Keragon, which publishes a $149 starting plan.
“We are a health system or a large group.”Notable or Kore.ai.
“Our clinicians spend evenings on notes.”Suki, or Abridge if you are part of a large health system.
“We want prior authorization packets prepared for staff.”ScienceSoft or Technology Rivers for a custom build, or Kore.ai at enterprise scale.
“Our workflow is unusual and we want to own the agent.”A development firm: Light-it, ScienceSoft, Technology Rivers, EffectiveSoft or FactoryJet. See our healthcare AI agents page.

How to choose a healthcare AI agent company: 7 steps

1. Count the calls you miss and why

Pull a week of phone data. Note how many calls go unanswered, at what hours, and what callers wanted: booking, refills, directions, billing. That list is your agent’s job description.

2. Ask for the BAA first

No BAA, no pilot. HHS guidance is clear that a vendor handling patient information is a business associate.

3. Check your EHR is on the list, with write-back

An agent that cannot write the appointment into your schedule creates a task for staff instead of removing one.

4. Test the urgent-call handoff

Call the demo line with chest pain, a child’s fever and an angry billing question. Time how fast a person picks up and what the caller hears meanwhile.

5. Listen to real recordings

Ask for recordings of real patient calls, with consent, on call types like yours. Accents, background noise and older callers matter.

6. Decide rent or build

Rent when your calls are standard and the vendor already fits your EHR. Build when they are not, or when you want to own the agent and its data.

7. Start with one job

Launch on after-hours booking or refills first. Add the next job once staff trust the first.

How widely physicians use AI

The American Medical Association reported in February 2025 that 66% of physicians said they used health AI in 2024, up from 38% in 2023, in a survey of nearly 1,200 physicians. That figure covers any health AI use, from scribes to research tools. It means most clinicians in a practice have tried an AI tool, so a front desk agent is less of a leap than it was two years ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies build AI agents for healthcare practices?
For phone and front desk agents a practice subscribes to, look at Assort Health, Arini (dental), Sully.ai and Keragon. For health systems, Notable and Kore.ai. For ambient scribes, Suki and Abridge. To have an agent built for you, Light-it, ScienceSoft, Technology Rivers, EffectiveSoft or FactoryJet. We read every company on its own website on 23 October 2026.
What are the best AI agents for healthcare?
It depends on the job. For answering patient calls, Assort Health, Arini and Sully.ai sell ready-made agents. For notes, Suki and Abridge draft them from the visit. For automations you set up yourself, Keragon. For one workflow built around your own EHR and phone setup, a development firm. Pick the job first, then compare the companies that do it.
What is a common application of AI agents in healthcare?
Answering patient calls is the most common one sold to practices. The phone agents on this page book and move appointments, answer routine questions, take refill requests and route urgent calls to staff. Drafting clinical notes from the visit is the other common use. Prior authorization prep and insurance eligibility checks are newer and growing.
What are some examples of AI agents in healthcare?
AI agents in healthcare examples from the companies on this page: Assort Health’s agent answers calls for scheduling, triage, referrals and refills. Arini answers dental practice calls and books appointments. Suki drafts notes, orders and patient instructions from the visit. Kore.ai lists prior authorization and lab result agents. Technology Rivers lists a voice reception agent and a clinical records summarizer it has built.
What AI agents are HIPAA compliant?
No agent is compliant on its own; the vendor, the contract and how your practice uses it all count. Keragon says it includes a BAA on every paid plan. Suki says it processes practice data under a BAA. Technology Rivers says it signs BAAs. Sully.ai and Kore.ai list HIPAA among their claims. Arini, Notable and Abridge made no such claim in the text we read.
Do I need a Business Associate Agreement with an AI agent vendor?
Yes, if the vendor creates, receives, keeps or sends patient health information for you. HHS says a covered entity may share it with a business associate only under a written BAA. HHS also says a cloud provider that stores encrypted patient data is still a business associate even if it cannot see the data. Ask for the BAA before any patient call goes through.
What is an AI voice agent for healthcare?
It is software that answers and makes patient phone calls in a natural voice. It can book, move and cancel appointments in your scheduling system, answer routine questions, take refill requests and pass urgent or complex calls to a person. Assort Health, Arini, Sully.ai and FactoryJet all describe voice agents of this kind.
Can an AI agent answer calls for a dental practice?
Yes. Arini is built for dental practices and dental groups. It says it answers every call, books appointments and passes calls to staff only when needed. Keragon lists Open Dental and Dentrix Ascend among its connections. FactoryJet builds dental phone agents that sync with Dentrix. Ask any vendor to show bookings landing in your own practice management system.
Which EHRs do healthcare AI agents connect to?
It varies by company. Sully.ai names about 30, including Epic, Cerner, MEDITECH, athenahealth and NextGen. Keragon names athenahealth, eClinicalWorks and Open Dental. Notable names Epic, Oracle Health and MEDITECH Expanse. Assort names athenahealth and NextGen. Ask whether the connection reads only or also writes appointments and notes back.
How much does a healthcare AI agent cost?
Few companies publish prices. Keragon lists $149 to $1,499 a month for its plans. ScienceSoft puts a bounded custom healthcare agent at $50,000 to $150,000 or more. Most phone agent and scribe companies quote after a demo. For a ready-made receptionist, compare monthly fees; for a custom build, compare build cost and who owns the code.
Should a practice buy a ready-made AI agent or have one built?
Buy when your call types are standard and the vendor already writes into your EHR. Build when your workflow is unusual, your EHR is not on the vendor’s list, or you want to own the agent and its data. A built agent costs more up front. A subscription costs more the longer you keep it and stays the vendor’s product.
What is an ambient AI scribe?
An ambient scribe listens to the visit, with consent, and drafts the clinical note for the clinician to review and sign. Suki says it also drafts orders and patient instructions. Abridge lists documentation for billing and nursing as well. A scribe does not answer phones, so a practice often uses one alongside a front desk agent.
How many physicians use AI today?
The American Medical Association reported in February 2025 that 66% of physicians used health AI in 2024, up from 38% in 2023, in a survey of nearly 1,200 physicians. That counts any health AI use, not only agents. It shows most physicians have tried AI tools, which makes a front desk agent an easier conversation with clinical staff.
Can AI agents handle prior authorization?
Some companies say so. Kore.ai lists prior authorization among its provider agents. ScienceSoft describes prior authorization agents that prepare submission packets for staff to review. Technology Rivers lists an authorization agent it has built. In each case staff still review the packet. Ask which payers and portals the agent has worked with.
Can an AI agent check a patient’s insurance eligibility?
Yes. Light-it says its agents handle eligibility checks. FactoryJet’s healthcare agents check insurance eligibility during the call. Ask how the check runs: through your clearinghouse, your practice management system or a payer portal, and what the agent tells the patient when the check fails.
Will an AI agent replace our front desk staff?
The companies on this page describe agents that take routine calls and pass the rest to people. Arini says it escalates to your team only when needed. FactoryJet’s agents hand emergencies to staff. Most practices use an agent to catch missed and after-hours calls and to free staff for patients in the building.
Which healthcare AI agent companies work with small practices?
Keragon names solo practices among its customers and publishes a $149 starting plan. Arini names single-location dental practices. Assort names multi-specialty practices alongside health systems. Notable, Kore.ai and Abridge name mostly health systems, so ask them whether they sell to a single practice. Development firms build for any size.
What should a practice ask before buying a healthcare AI agent?
Ask whether the vendor signs a BAA. Ask which EHR it writes to, not only reads. Ask what happens to an urgent call and how fast a person picks it up. Ask to hear recordings of real calls on your call types. Ask who owns the call data and whether it trains models on it. Ask what the agent costs at your call volume.
Can an AI agent write appointments into Epic or athenahealth?
Some say they can. Sully.ai says it reads and writes appointments on most major EHRs and names Epic and athenahealth. Assort claims an athenahealth connection. FactoryJet syncs bookings both ways with Epic, Cerner, Dentrix and athenahealth. Epic connections can need extra approval steps, so ask how long yours will take.
How long does it take to set up a healthcare AI agent?
Subscription tools say setup is fast; Keragon says automations take minutes, not weeks. A phone agent connected to your EHR takes longer because the connection and your call rules need testing. FactoryJet’s healthcare page says most practices go live in four to six weeks, with more time for larger EHRs such as Epic.
Are AI agents safe for urgent or emergency calls?
Only if urgent calls reach a person fast. Assort lists triage and routing. FactoryJet’s agents hand emergencies to staff. Ask every vendor to show the exact words that trigger a handoff, what the caller hears, and what happens after hours. Test it with sample calls before launch.
What is the difference between an AI agent and a chatbot in healthcare?
A chatbot answers questions. An agent also takes actions in your systems: it books the appointment, sends the intake form or prepares the authorization packet. Several companies on this page sell both. Ask whether the product writes to your EHR or only talks to the patient.
Does FactoryJet build AI agents for healthcare practices?
Yes. FactoryJet builds custom AI agents for US medical practices, dental clinics and hospital departments, starting at the front desk phone. They book appointments, check eligibility, text intake forms, take refill requests and hand emergencies to staff, with two-way sync to Epic, Cerner, Dentrix and athenahealth. The practice owns what FactoryJet builds.
