Case Study: Healthcare Practice
Call & Scheduling Automation
NeuroDiagnostic Laboratories (NDX Labs) knew hold times were rising, scheduling gaps were piling up, and staff was stressed. What our Evolve Methodology™ AI Audit found was bigger than anyone had expected...
OVERVIEW: An Evolve Methodology AI Audit at NDX Labs, a 4-physician neurology practice, identified $612,500 in annual revenue loss driven by 75 missed and abandoned calls per day, 14 empty schedule slots per day, and an average patient hold time of 4 minutes 2 seconds. After deploying Evolve AI Agents, hold time dropped to 0:00, 95% of inbound calls are handled fully by AI, and the practice is reclaiming lost revenue and increasing operational efficiency from the first billing cycle.

$612,500
Annual revenue loss identified by the Evolve Methodology AI Audit; a bleed NDX Labs knew was costing them, but had never been able to quantify.
Phase 01: Illuminate - the discovery
The practice knew something was wrong. The audit showed them exactly how much it was costing.
Patient complaints about hold times were rising. Scheduling gaps had become a daily norm. Front-end staff were visibly overwhelmed. But NDX Labs had no way to quantify exactly how deep the operational drag ran, or what it was truly costing them, until the Evolve Methodology AI Audit put a number on it.

"The audit made it impossible to ignore: our front desk was functionally overwhelmed, we knew this, but didn't realize the impact across several functional areas. We were losing patients before they ever spoke to anyone, which meant lost revenue and strained RCM."
