AI Intake Assistant
Answers calls and forms in your brand voice, around the clock. No Durham inquiry goes unanswered.
Durham's behavioral health market is shaped by Duke University, Duke Health, and a rapidly growing arts and culture community that has attracted younger residents with above-average mental health service utilization rates. The city's proximity to the Research Triangle creates overlap with Raleigh's tech demographic and a client base that values clinical quality and operational responsiveness equally.
Durham-area practices serve a high proportion of Duke-affiliated faculty, students, and healthcare workers. These clients have access to Duke internal mental health resources and choose private practices based on responsiveness and specialization. Slow intake loses them before the first call ends.
BHSAI implementations are configured around your specific insurance mix, verifying eligibility and routing by panel at intake, not at billing.
Each implementation is tailored to your practice. We configure around your EHR, insurance panels, and clinical specialties.

Yes. BHSAI serves Durham-area practices across Durham County and the surrounding Research Triangle / Duke University Corridor region. Every implementation is configured around your specific insurance panels, clinical specialties, and intake workflow, not a generic template.
NC Medicaid operates through six managed care plans: Aetna Better Health NC, AmeriHealth Caritas NC, BlueCross NC, Carolina Complete Health, United Healthcare Community Plan NC, and WellCare NC. BHSAI configures eligibility verification against the specific plans your practice accepts, at first contact, not at billing. For Durham practices, BHSAI verifies eligibility at the moment a client first contacts your practice, before scheduling, so your team is not discovering coverage issues after the appointment is already on the calendar.
Most Durham-area practices move from an average response time of 18 to 26 hours down to under 5 minutes after BHSAI implementation. That shift is the single biggest lever in inquiry conversion, and it happens without adding front-desk headcount.
Yes. Durham practices typically see panels including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield NC, Duke Select Plans, Medicaid Managed Care, and others. BHSAI configures eligibility verification around your specific accepted panels, not a generic payer list.
BHSAI was founded by Felice Martin, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC009575, State of Georgia). Felice built the system inside Behavioral Health Associates of Georgia after experiencing the intake problem firsthand as both a clinician and a practice owner. Every feature reflects that direct operational experience.
Solo clinicians, group practices, community mental health organizations, substance use treatment programs, and psychiatric practices. If your Durham practice receives phone or web inquiries and schedules clients, BHSAI has a configuration that fits your workflow.
Most implementations take two to four weeks from the initial strategy call to go-live. Timeline depends on EHR integration complexity and whether your practice needs custom intake scripts for specific presenting concerns or insurance panels. We do not push a generic setup; everything is built around your practice.
