Sick visit intake that asks what your team actually needs to know
Patients share how long they've had symptoms, whether their case is mild enough for a routine visit, and what they're experiencing before you ever open your CRM. Photos of visible symptoms are collected up front so your team can triage without guessing.
The exact intake your sick visit leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Sick Visit — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified sick visit lead should tell you
A primary care visit to evaluate acute, non-emergency symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, or stomach upset, where duration and severity are screened up front to confirm the case fits a routine slot.
- Long Have Had These
- Symptoms Mild Enough Routine
- Best Describes Main Symptoms
- This Visit New Health
- Work Or School Excuse
- Already Tried Any Over-
The questions your team needs answered
Every sick visit intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How long have you had these symptoms? | How long symptoms have persisted helps staff judge whether the case still fits a standard sick visit slot or needs closer review. |
| Are your symptoms mild enough for a routine sick visit, without severe signs like trouble breathing or chest pain? | This yes/no answer is weighted heavily (10 versus 1) because it separates patients safe for a routine visit from those who may need urgent care instead. |
| Which best describes your main symptoms? | Knowing the primary symptom cluster lets the provider prepare before the visit instead of gathering this information during the appointment. |
| Is this visit for a new health concern or a follow-up on symptoms you've already discussed with a provider? | Distinguishing a new concern from a follow-up tells staff whether prior notes need to be pulled before the visit. |
| Do you need a work or school excuse note for this visit? | Flags an administrative need up front so the front desk can prepare documentation without extending the visit itself. |
| Have you already tried any over-the-counter medication for these symptoms? | Knowing what the patient already tried at home helps the provider avoid suggesting something that already failed. |

Built for sick visit workflows
| Cliont capability | Sick Visit application |
|---|---|
| Severity gate screening | Uses the severity screening yes/no answer to flag patients whose symptoms may not be safe for a routine slot, before staff ever see the request. |
| Symptom summary handoff | Compiles the multi-select symptom answers into a note visible in the CRM so the provider knows the main complaint before the visit starts. |
| Duration-based triage cue | Surfaces how long symptoms have lasted alongside the severity answer, helping staff judge how quickly the appointment should happen. |
| Administrative flagging | Tags excuse-note requests separately from the medical complaint so front desk staff can prepare documentation without extending the visit. |
Common sick visit lead scenarios
Mild cold symptoms, new concern
Short duration, a mild severity screening answer, and a new-concern selection point toward a straightforward routine booking.
Red-flag symptoms reported
A 'no' on the severity screening question signals this patient may need urgent care rather than a standard sick visit slot, so staff see the flag before confirming any booking.
Follow-up on treated symptoms
Marking the visit as a follow-up rather than a new concern tells staff to pull prior notes instead of starting the intake picture from zero.
Excuse note requested
A yes on the work or school note question adds an administrative task the front desk can prepare for ahead of the visit.
Week-long symptoms, OTC already tried
Longer duration combined with a 'yes' on prior over-the-counter treatment suggests the case may need closer review before it's treated as routine.

Sick Visit lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake screen out patients who might need emergency care instead of a sick visit?
The severity screening question carries a much higher weight for 'yes' than 'no', so a 'no' answer (indicating signs like trouble breathing or chest pain) flags the lead for review before it's treated as a routine booking.
Can patients request a work or school excuse note through the intake?
Yes, the excuse note question is a simple yes/no field, and a 'yes' answer gets flagged so the front desk can have documentation ready before the visit.
How does the intake handle follow-up visits differently from new symptoms?
The visit-type question separates a new health concern from a follow-up, so staff know to pull prior notes for follow-ups rather than starting from scratch.
What happens if a patient has had symptoms for over a week?
The duration question captures this directly, and a longer duration alongside other answers can prompt a closer look before the slot is confirmed as routine.
Does the intake ask what the patient has already tried at home?
Yes, a yes/no question captures whether over-the-counter medication has already been tried, so the provider isn't repeating something that didn't work.
How is this different from Cliont's New Patient Visit or Preoperative Clearance intakes?
Each subservice uses its own question set; the sick visit catalog is built around symptom duration, severity, and type rather than medical history or surgical readiness.
