Overview

Why Spruce Health + Sarva

Sarva connects to Spruce Health to turn patient messaging threads into billing triggers, sending appointment reminders, balance notices, and denial follow-ups automatically through the same secure channel patients already use for their care. Spruce handles secure messaging and virtual care well, but billing communication tends to live in a separate system: a portal patients rarely check, a mailed statement, or a phone call that goes to voicemail. Sarva connects to Spruce so billing messages ride the same channel as care messages. A balance notice, a denial explanation, or a reminder to update insurance goes out through Spruce automatically, timed to the billing event that triggered it rather than a fixed batch schedule.

Capabilities

What Sarva Automates in Spruce Health

1

Visit-Triggered Reminders

Sarva sends appointment and pre-visit reminders through Spruce automatically once a visit is scheduled, including a note if an eligibility check flagged something the patient needs to address.

2

Balance and Statement Delivery

When Sarva's Payment Post agent identifies a patient balance, it sends the statement through Spruce's secure messaging instead of a mailed letter or a separate portal login.

3

Denial-to-Patient Communication

If a claim denial shifts responsibility to the patient, Sarva drafts and sends an explanation through Spruce so the patient understands the balance before a statement arrives.

FAQ

Common Questions

Does this replace Spruce's own communication features?

No. Sarva adds billing-specific triggers on top of Spruce's existing messaging, it doesn't change how Spruce handles clinical communication or virtual visits.

Can patients reply to these billing messages?

Yes. Replies come back through the same Spruce thread, and Sarva flags any reply that needs a billing staff response instead of an automated one.

Does this work for practices that use Spruce for telehealth visits specifically?

Yes. Sarva also uses the visit record from Spruce to confirm telehealth-specific billing requirements were met before the claim goes out.
