Getting honest, actionable feedback on billing can be tough—especially when traditional surveys miss out on real context and clarity.

At Specific, we build tools that let you create and launch AI-powered, conversational surveys designed for deeper insights and higher response rates.

What is a conversational survey and why AI makes it better for patients

Surveying patients about billing transparency usually means sending out a static form and hoping people bother to respond. Too often, you get answers that are rushed, incomplete, or hard to interpret. The challenge? Patients want to share their thoughts, but typical forms just aren’t engaging or adaptive.

This is where an AI survey example completely changes the game. Using AI-driven, conversational surveys, you aren’t just throwing questions into a void—you’re having a real dialogue. The survey adapts based on the patient’s replies, gently probing for more details in a natural manner. That’s why Specific’s AI survey generator is so different from old-school survey software.

Why use AI for patient surveys?

• Adapts in real time: The experience feels more like a chat with a knowledgeable healthcare staff member than a boring checkbox form.

• Increases response rates and honesty: Patients are more likely to share detailed experiences when those experiences are actively explored and validated.

• Better data quality: A recent study found that AI-powered conversational surveys generate more nuanced and informative open-ended responses, making feedback dramatically more valuable [3].

Ultimately, Specific delivers best-in-class user experience for both creators and respondents—making it easy, intuitive, and engaging to run, analyze, and act on conversational surveys at any scale.

Automatic follow-up questions based on previous reply

We designed Specific to ask automatic, AI-powered follow-up questions during the survey—just like a smart interviewer would. When a patient gives an initial answer, the AI instantly understands the context and asks the right next question, getting the full story, without any confusing back-and-forth after the fact.

Imagine these real situations:

• Patient: "I was confused by some charges on my last bill."

• AI follow-up: "Can you tell me what specific charges or wording confused you? Did you try to get clarification?"

• Patient: "The invoice was too high."

• AI follow-up: "Which part of the invoice felt unexpectedly costly, and did the statement help explain why?"

If you skip these follow-ups, you’ll likely end up with vague, unhelpful replies—frustrating for everyone. Automated follow-ups mean you don’t need to chase respondents via email for clarification; the survey handles it instantly, making feedback much more useful.

These follow-up capabilities make every survey feel like a true conversation, not just another impersonal form—this is the core of a real conversational survey.

Easy editing, like magic

Editing a survey shouldn’t feel like work. With Specific’s AI survey editor, you just say what you want changed in plain language, and the system updates your survey with expert precision—whether it’s about the wording, the depth of follow-up questions, or branching logic. No clunky forms, no endless clicking around. Updates take seconds, and the heavy lifting is handled for you.

Flexible survey delivery for patient billing feedback

How you deliver the survey matters—a lot. For billing transparency, patients need easy access whether they’re answering at home, at the front desk, or after visiting their online health portal. Specific gives you two seamless ways:

• Sharable landing page surveys: Perfect for sending via email or SMS after a patient visit. With a simple link, patients can respond anytime, without needing to log in or download anything. It’s ideal for billing transparency feedback as the context is clear and the invitation is direct.

• In-product surveys: Add the survey directly into scheduling platforms, billing portals, or mobile apps. Patients can complete it immediately after viewing their bill, maximizing recall and relevance. This in-context feedback ensures data is fresh and actionable.

Both delivery methods are fast to set up, and you can use targeting or open links depending on how and when you want feedback from your patients on their billing experience. If you want to create a custom survey on any topic, check out the AI survey builder.
