An AI employee doesn’t follow a script — it reads the situation and acts. These are Mana’s core capabilities. Open one to see how Mana decides, when it acts on its own, and when it asks for you.
Billing & collections
Mana follows up overdue patient invoices with the right tone, on the right channel, at the right time. Polite, persistent, logged — and reception stops chasing.
- Trigger
- Invoice 7+ days past due, or a care-plan invoice unpaid 24 hours after issue.
- Outcome
- Invoice paid (or a payment plan scheduled) without reception touching the file.
- Escalates when
- The patient declines, disputes the bill, or is unreachable after three attempts.
How Mana runs this, end to end.
- 01Detect overdue invoices
Mana scans the ledger every morning at 7am local. New overdue invoices enter the queue with patient context — last visit, preferred channel.
- 02Polite SMS with payment link
First-touch SMS in the clinic’s tone. Includes a one-tap payment link and a shortcut to reply “plan” for a payment plan.
Decision: if paid → close. If “plan” is replied → start the payment plan flow.
- 03Email reminder with statement
After 48 hours: an email with an itemised statement, a payment link, and an option to dispute. Suppressed if the patient is SMS-only.
Decision: if opened but not paid → continue. If marked as a dispute → escalate.
- 04Outbound courtesy call
Day 5: Mana calls in the clinic voice, confirms identity, and offers payment over the phone or a three-instalment plan.
Decision: if voicemail → leave a message plus a fallback SMS. If declined → escalate.
- 05Escalate or close
After three failed attempts or any dispute, Mana hands the case to reception with a one-paragraph summary and the full transcript.
Every action, traceable.
Mana writes an immutable record of what it did, when, why, and on whose authority.

- Never contacts a patient more than once a day, or outside clinic hours.
- Disputes and hardship always route to a human — Mana never negotiates debt.
- Every message is logged verbatim; you can review and adjust the tone at any time.
