“My job is making sure referral intake + verification — without anyone on your team having to ask.”
We watched our own dispatch & intake team burn out on work that never stopped. Referral Coordinators were leaving for better pay, calling out sick, and taking weeks to train — meanwhile the queue kept growing and customers kept waiting. There was no way to hire fast enough.
Akira was built to be the piece of the team that's always there. Not a bot reading from a script, but a worker who knows the systems, the SOPs, and the judgment calls — so your senior people get their time back for the work only they can do.
Akira in their own words.
I'm the referral coordinator your dispatch & intake team leans on when the queue starts stacking. Manages new-referral intake with insurance verification built in. I own the work end-to-end — you hand me the inbox, the ticket, or the call, and it gets done right the first time.
Day to day I'm running referral intake + verification, insurance eligibility checks, provider + calendar routing. I know the systems your team uses, I know what "clean" looks like in this seat, and I don't drop details when the volume climbs.
I work inside your stack, not alongside it. Every action I take is logged, every handoff has context, and your senior people get their time back for the work only they can do.
