Why practices compare Aron with mConsent
Forms plus the rest of the visit
Practices using mConsent for paperwork often still need separate reminder, phone, and payment tools. Aron covers the whole visit.
Check-in without a kiosk
Patients check in from their own phone using your practice link, with first name and appointment time.
Insurance ready before the visit
Card photos uploaded at check-in sit next to the eligibility check for that appointment.
One price
Forms are included in every Aron plan instead of being a separate subscription.
Setup compared
Getting started with Aron
1. Connect your practice software
Aron links to your schedule so forms and check-in links go to the right patients for the right visits.
2. Build or import your forms
Use the drag-and-drop builder to recreate intake, medical history, and consent forms.
3. Turn on check-in
Share your practice check-in link so patients confirm arrival, update intake, and upload insurance card photos on the day of the visit.
4. Add reminders
A single form reminder goes out before the visit, alongside appointment reminders from the same system.
Getting started with mConsent
Setup steps, timelines, and what's included in onboarding vary. Ask mConsent which integrations you need, who configures them, and whether onboarding has a separate fee.
Questions worth asking any vendor: Does it write back to your practice software? Who sets it up? Is there a contract term or onboarding fee? What happens to your data if you leave?
What to ask before you choose
- Do completed forms reach your practice software, or stay in a separate portal?
- Can patients check in from their own phone without a kiosk or app?
- Can patients upload insurance card photos before the visit?
- Are form reminders and appointment reminders coming from the same system?
- Is the form tool a separate subscription or part of a larger plan?
Questions?
Does Aron have digital patient forms?
Yes. Aron includes a form builder, form reminders, and a check-in link where patients confirm arrival, update intake, and upload insurance card photos.
Do patients need to download an app?
No. Forms and check-in open in the patient's phone browser.
Can I use Aron alongside mConsent?
Yes. Some practices start with one part of Aron, such as the AI receptionist or insurance verification, and move other work over later. A demo is the best way to map which tools you'd keep.
How long is a demo?
Demos are 30 minutes and use examples relevant to your practice. Book one at getaron.ai/schedule-demo.
