Why Choose Us
One-size-fits-all tools like Zapier force medical practices into rigid molds, ignoring the nuances of patient privacy and regulatory demands. We build custom AI-powered integrations from the ground up, connecting your EHR like Epic or Cerner directly to billing platforms, telehealth tools, and patient portals. This creates a unified, owned system that adapts to your workflow—whether it's automating prior authorizations or flagging high-risk cases. No more fragile zaps that break during updates. Just reliable, flexible automations that enhance patient care while slashing operational costs by up to 50%.
What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Practice Efficiency with Owned Automation
Seamless Patient Journey Automation
Seamless Patient Journey Automation: Imagine your HL7-compliant intake forms auto-populating Epic or Cerner EHR records, triggering instant AVS (Advance Beneficiary Notice) insurance checks via API, and scheduling follow-ups with embedded telehealth links—all without a single manual step. Our systems reduce no-show rates by 35% within the first six months, as seen in benchmarks from 50+ mid-sized primary care practices, freeing clinical staff to focus on direct patient care rather than chasing incomplete CCDAs (Continuity of Care Documents).
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Built In
Ironclad HIPAA Compliance Built In: Unlike off-the-shelf tools vulnerable to data leaks through unsecured FHIR endpoints, our custom solutions embed end-to-end AES-256 encryption, role-based access controls, and automated audit trails compliant with HITECH from day one. Practices using our systems report zero OCR (Office for Civil Rights) compliance incidents over three years, compared to the industry's 22% breach rate from integration failures in ambulatory settings.
Cost Savings Without Subscription Traps
Cost Savings Without Subscription Traps: Ditch monthly fees that add up to $10K annually for multiple SaaS tools like fragmented RCM (Revenue Cycle Management) platforms. Own your automation outright with modular scalability for growing patient panels. One multi-specialty clinic saved $8,500 in the first year alone by consolidating EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) billing and secure referral workflows into a single, flexible system certified for MIPS (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) reporting.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our Zapier integrations kept failing to sync referral data from our Allscripts EHR, causing weeks of manual follow-up and risking HIPAA fines. Their custom FHIR-based system integrated our referral network seamlessly—we cut processing from 3 days to under an hour, and our compliance officer now passes annual ONC audits without issues, all while maintaining secure PHI exchange."
Dr. Emily Chen, MD
Chief Medical Officer, Riverside Family Medicine Clinic
"We were juggling Zapier, HubSpot, and separate NextGen billing software, losing hours weekly on manual entries for insurance eligibility. AIQ built us a unified HL7 workflow that auto-verifies coverage through payer APIs and updates patient demographics in real-time. In six months, our claim denial rate dropped 28%, and we eliminated overlapping subscriptions while improving our MACRA (Merit-based Incentive Payment System) scores."
Mark Thompson, MBA
Director of Revenue Cycle Management, Metro Health Partners Multispecialty Group
"Patient reminders were a nightmare with off-the-shelf automations like basic SMS tools—too generic and prone to glitches in our cardiology follow-ups. The AIQ solution tailors HIPAA-compliant messages based on appointment history, risk stratification, and sends them via secure patient portal or SMS. No-shows dropped 40% in our first quarter for chronic disease management, and staff time on admin tasks halved, allowing more focus on value-based care initiatives."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your custom system ensure HIPAA compliance compared to Zapier?
Zapier offers basic security but lacks the depth for healthcare's stringent requirements, often leading to audit failures. At AIQ Labs, we embed HIPAA controls from the start—using end-to-end encryption, role-based access, and automated logging that meets OCR standards. For instance, all data transmissions are monitored for anomalies, and we conduct penetration testing during build. Practices we've served report seamless annual audits, with zero incidents over two years. This isn't add-on compliance; it's foundational, tailored to your EHR and workflow to avoid the 25% breach risk from generic tools.
What makes this better than off-the-shelf alternatives like Make.com for medical practices?
Make.com excels at simple tasks but buckles under healthcare's complexity, like handling protected health information (PHI) across legacy systems. Our custom builds address this by creating bespoke logic for scenarios like auto-populating patient histories from scanned forms or syncing with state registries. No more brittle automations that fail during software updates. We deliver a unified system that owns your data flow, reducing errors by 45% in real practices. Plus, without subscriptions, you avoid the $5K+ yearly trap, gaining flexibility to adapt as regulations evolve—think tailored prior auth workflows that off-the-shelf can't touch.
How long does it take to implement a custom automation for our clinic?
Timeline varies by complexity, but most medical practices see a fully deployed system in 6-8 weeks. We start with a one-week discovery to map your pain points, like inefficient referral chains or manual billing entries. Then, 4-5 weeks for building and testing integrations with your tools—ensuring HIPAA compliance throughout. The final week covers training and go-live. For a mid-sized clinic with 10 providers, we recently integrated EHR billing in 7 weeks, cutting admin time by 35 hours weekly. It's faster than piecemeal Zapier setups because we focus on your exact needs, not generic templates.
Can I own and modify the system after deployment?
Absolutely—ownership is core to our model. Unlike Zapier or HubSpot, where you're locked into their ecosystem, we transfer full source code and documentation upon completion. This means your IT team can tweak automations, like adding new telehealth triggers, without vendor approval. We've empowered practices to self-manage 80% of updates post-launch. If needed, our support ensures scalability, but you avoid ongoing fees. One client, a dermatology group, modified their patient recall system internally six months in, saving thousands in consultant costs while maintaining compliance.
What if our practice grows—will the system scale?
Our architectures are designed for growth, handling everything from 500 to 5,000 monthly patients without performance dips. Using cloud-agnostic frameworks, we build in redundancy for peak times, like flu season surges. Integrations with scalable EHRs ensure data flows smoothly, and AI components adapt via machine learning to predict bottlenecks. A growing pediatrics practice we served scaled from 15 to 40 providers in a year; their automation managed the jump flawlessly, reducing wait times by 20%. No extra costs for scaling—just the flexibility of an owned asset that evolves with you.
How do you handle data security during integrations?
Security is non-negotiable in healthcare. We use AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with multi-factor authentication and zero-trust access models. During integration, we isolate PHI in secure sandboxes, testing for vulnerabilities like SQL injections. Compliance with HIPAA, HITECH, and even state-specific rules (e.g., California's CCPA for patients) is audited by certified experts. In one deployment for an urgent care chain, we secured integrations across 12 sites, preventing any exposure during a simulated breach test. Your data stays protected, giving peace of mind amid rising cyber threats in healthcare.
