Geriatrics is among the most cognitively and clerically demanding specialties there is. A single visit can span four or five chronic conditions, a long medication list to reconcile, a cognitive screen, a falls and functional assessment, and a conversation about goals of care — all while caring for a patient who may need extra time and a caregiver in the room. LucasAI is an ambient AI clinical platform, built by clinicians, designed to take that burden off geriatric care so you can stay present with the patient and finish your day on time.
Unlike a tool that only writes notes, LucasAI pairs a real-time ambient scribe with built-in medical coding, patient outreach, and prior-authorization support — the workflows geriatric practices actually run on. Here is how it fits the realities of caring for older adults.
Why geriatrics needs more than a scribe
Geriatric clinicians manage some of the most medically complex patients in any practice, and the documentation tail follows them home. The note is only part of the work: every visit also has to be coded correctly, chronic conditions have to be captured for accurate risk adjustment, follow-ups and recalls have to be arranged, and prior authorizations have to be assembled. Much of this lands as after-hours charting, which is a well-recognized contributor to clinician burnout.
Two pressures make this especially acute in geriatrics:
- Complex, multimorbid visits. An older patient rarely comes in for just one thing. Capturing every active and chronic problem, the full medication list, cognitive and functional status, and the plan — accurately and at the pace a clinic demands — is genuinely hard, and it is exactly where details get lost.
- Risk-adjustment revenue left on the table. In value-based and Medicare Advantage care, unaddressed chronic conditions that are not documented to specificity each year go uncaptured for HCC risk adjustment — which both understates a panel's true acuity and lowers legitimate reimbursement, while mismatched documentation invites denials.
LucasAI is built to address the whole loop — documentation, coding, outreach, and authorization — rather than just the note.
How LucasAI helps geriatrics
Ambient scribe for complex, multi-problem geriatric visits
LucasAI listens to the encounter and builds a structured clinical note as you talk, so the draft is largely ready for your review by the time you leave the room rather than after a separate processing step. It is designed to organize a dense, multimorbid encounter — long medication lists, several active and chronic problems, and a caregiver's input — into a note that separates each problem and ties it to its own assessment and plan, instead of collapsing everything into one paragraph. Because it is built for the way real visits sound, it also handles multilingual and code-switched speech, useful in the many practices that serve bilingual older adults and their families.
Real-time E&M leveling and CPT/ICD-10 coding
As the visit is documented, LucasAI's coding suggests CPT, CPT II, and ICD-10 codes along with E&M service levels, and flags where documentation does not yet support the level of service. For geriatrics this is where Annual Wellness Visit elements, chronic-care complexity, and HCC capture for risk adjustment often hide — and where mismatched documentation drives denials. Surfacing the right codes and the gaps in real time helps you reflect the true acuity of an older, multimorbid panel and bill the work you actually did. All suggestions are reviewed by you or your billing team before submission.
Built for polypharmacy, cognition, falls, and goals of care
Geriatric assessments are uniquely detailed, and LucasAI is designed to keep them straight. It captures long, evolving medication lists to support reconciliation, documents cognitive screening and dementia evaluation, records falls risk, frailty, and functional status, and preserves advance care planning and goals-of-care conversations in the patient's own words. The result is a note that reflects the full geriatric picture rather than a thin summary — and that supports the codes you bill.
EmilyAI patient outreach for follow-ups and recalls
EmilyAI is LucasAI's automated patient outreach. It can reach patients before and after visits to schedule and prepare Annual Wellness Visits, follow up on medication changes and reconciliation, close care gaps and screenings, and coordinate recalls and caregiver communication — then update the chart. That offloads outreach work that normally falls on already-stretched front-desk and clinical staff, and helps keep frail patients from falling through the cracks.
Clinic, nursing home, home, and inpatient workflows with EMR integration
Geriatric care happens wherever the patient is. LucasAI supports clinic and ambulatory visits, nursing home rounds, and home-based care, and also offers inpatient tooling for clinicians who follow patients into the hospital. It connects to web-based EMRs through a proprietary Chrome extension with structured data mapping — designed to deploy in days, with no months-long API or IT project. Prior-authorization support compiles the documentation payers ask for, from billing codes to supporting clinical detail.
What you get

What clinicians are saying
“My patients are complex and my notes used to take forever, especially keeping the medication lists and chronic conditions straight. LucasAI drafts the whole visit accurately and flags the diagnoses I need to document for risk adjustment, so I capture the work I actually do and still get home on time.”

How does an ambient AI scribe help with complex geriatric visits?
An ambient AI scribe listens to the encounter and drafts a structured note in real time, so it is largely ready for review by the time you leave the room. For geriatrics, where a single visit can cover several chronic problems, a long medication list, and a cognitive or functional assessment, that means less after-hours charting and more attention on the patient and any caregiver in the room. LucasAI organizes the multimorbid encounter into a note that separates each problem rather than producing one undifferentiated summary.
Can LucasAI help with Annual Wellness Visits and HCC risk-adjustment capture?
Yes. LucasAI's real-time coding surfaces CPT, CPT II, and ICD-10 codes along with E&M levels as the visit is documented, and it flags chronic conditions that should be documented to specificity for HCC risk adjustment. For geriatrics and value-based care this helps reflect the true acuity of an older panel and supports Annual Wellness Visit elements that are commonly under-documented. All code suggestions should be reviewed by the clinician or billing team before submission.
Does LucasAI document polypharmacy, cognition, and falls assessments?
Yes. LucasAI is designed for the detailed assessments geriatrics depends on. It captures long medication lists to support reconciliation, documents cognitive screening and dementia evaluation, records falls risk, frailty, and functional status, and preserves advance care planning and goals-of-care conversations. The goal is a note that reflects the full geriatric picture and supports the level of service billed, always subject to your review.
Can LucasAI suggest CPT, ICD-10, and E&M codes for geriatric visits?
Yes. LucasAI's coding suggests CPT, CPT II, and ICD-10 codes along with E&M service levels as the visit is documented. For geriatrics this can help capture the chronic-care complexity and preventive services that are commonly under-coded, and it surfaces documentation gaps so the note supports the level billed. All code suggestions should be reviewed by the clinician or billing team before submission.
What is EmilyAI and how does it help with AWV outreach and recalls?
EmilyAI is LucasAI's automated patient outreach. It can contact patients before and after visits to schedule and prepare Annual Wellness Visits, follow up on medication changes, close care gaps and screenings, and coordinate recalls and caregiver communication, then update the chart. In geriatrics this helps keep frail and complex patients on track without adding to staff workload.
Does LucasAI work in nursing homes and home visits, and with my EMR?
LucasAI supports clinic, nursing home, home-based, and inpatient workflows, so it fits the way geriatric care is actually delivered across settings. It integrates with web-based EMRs through a Chrome extension with structured data mapping, designed to deploy in days without a long API or IT project.
How much does LucasAI cost for a geriatrics practice?
LucasAI offers Premium at $99/month, Pro at $299/month, and Enterprise at $999/month, plus a free trial. The right plan depends on whether you need the scribe alone or also want coding with HCC capture, patient outreach, prior-authorization support, and team workflows for your practice.
