New patients matched to the right provider, with coverage confirmed
Saga automates intake for behavioral health groups. Its AI agents capture each new patient request, verify insurance eligibility in real time, match the patient with providers who meet their needs and take their plan, check provider availability, and record everything to your systems, with clear reasons whenever a provider can’t proceed.

Intake is a matching problem.
Every new patient has requirements, an insurance plan, and limited availability, and every provider has their own panel, networks, and calendar. Coordinators juggle all of it by hand, and patients drop off while they wait.
How Saga runs behavioral health intake
Captures the request
New patient requests and referrals are captured with the patient’s needs, preferences, and insurance.
Verifies coverage
Real-time X12 270/271 eligibility checks confirm the plan and benefits.
Matches providers
Saga matches the patient with preferred providers who meet their requirements and take their insurance, and offers alternatives only with the patient’s consent.
Checks availability
Provider calendars are checked so the match leads to an appointment, not another wait.
Explains what’s blocking
When a provider can’t proceed, staff see the specific reason: requirements, coverage, or calendar.
A behavioral health group that matches patients in one pass.
At one behavioral health group, Saga captures each new patient, checks their insurance in real time, matches them with preferred providers who fit their requirements and take their plan, and checks calendars, offering alternative providers only when the patient consents.
