Lesson 1.3 ⏱ ~8 min

💡 Why This Matters

Type 3 is where integration becomes operationally rich. Insurance verification, family households, and auto-confirmation are high-value features that directly reduce manual work at the front desk. Building a Type 3 integration means you're touching sensitive healthcare data structures.

🎯 What You'll Learn

  • What features Type 3 adds on top of Type 2
  • How patient photos, insurance info, and household/family data are pulled and displayed
  • How appointment auto-confirmation works using message sentiment detection
  • What recall reminders are and which verticals they apply to (dental cleaning, vet vaccination, optometry orders)

📋 Lesson Summary

Type 3 adds patient photos, insurance information, family/household linking, appointment auto-confirmation, recall reminders, and aging/collection info. The household feature groups family members, identifies the head of household, and is important for insurance claims where one policy covers multiple family members. Auto-confirmation works by sending a message asking if the patient will attend, then detecting the sentiment of their reply and updating the appointment status in Weave. Recall reminders send prompts for recurring events like dental cleanings, vaccinations, or optometry orders.

Key Takeaways

01Auto-confirmation is one of the most heavily-used Type 3 features — it automates what was previously a manual phone confirmation
02Family/household data requires the PMS to have relational patient records — not all PMSs support this equally
03Insurance info pulled by your integration can be verified against a third-party API — integration enables that verification
04Recall reminders vary by vertical: dental = cleanings, vet = vaccinations, optometry = lens pickups
05Aging info shows how much a patient owes — useful for billing, and it all comes from PMS payment data
