Tebra (Kareo + PatientPop) integration
AI Receptionist for Tebra: Front-Desk Automation for the Kareo + PatientPop Combined Platform

Who Actually Runs on Tebra

Tebra specific integration
How MedReception AI Plugs Into Tebra
This is not a generic phone bot bolted on top of Tebra. MedReception AI writes back to the same records your staff opens, respects your existing scheduling rules, and keeps your PatientPop funnel intact.
Tebra Clinical and PM Write Backs
- • Real appointments created in Tebra PM with provider, visit type, location, and resource
- • Patient demographics and insurance written to Tebra Clinical
- • Telephone encounter notes attached to the patient chart
- • Recall and follow up tasks routed to the correct work queue
- • Audit trail that shows the AI as the booking source
Online Booking Widget Coordination
- • AI honors the same provider templates the Tebra widget uses
- • Live slot reads prevent double bookings between web and phone
- • Complex visit types that the widget hides are still bookable by phone
- • Hand off back to the widget for self serve when callers prefer it
- • Insurance gating mirrors the practice's accepted plan list
PatientPop Reputation and SEO Feed
- • Pulls service catalog and provider bios from PatientPop site data
- • Uses high intent keyword pages to set the right visit expectation
- • Closes the loop with PatientPop reviews and ratings dashboards
- • Captures attribution back to source campaigns and pages
- • Surfaces gaps where SEO traffic is not converting on the phone
eRx and Refill Routing
- • Caller stated medication, dose, and pharmacy captured structurally
- • Refill request routed to the prescribing provider's Tebra inbox
- • Controlled substance requests escalated to the correct clinical queue
- • Pharmacy callbacks deflected from the front desk
- • Outstanding prior auth flags surfaced before the refill is approved
Tebra specific call workflows
The Four Calls a Tebra Front Desk Hates
Most of the daily volume in a Tebra practice falls into four buckets. MedReception AI ships with battle tested workflows for each one, mapped to Tebra fields and queues.
1. Appointment Scheduling With Provider Plus Visit Type Rules
The AI asks the right qualifying questions, applies the Tebra appointment type matrix, respects new versus established rules, and books only into slots a human scheduler would have used. Same day sick visits, well child, annual physicals, and procedure visits each have their own decision path.
2. New Patient Intake With Insurance Capture
Demographics, primary and secondary insurance, member ID, group number, and policyholder relationship captured by voice and written directly to Tebra. Real time plan acceptance check prevents booking patients you cannot bill.
3. eRx Refill Routing
Patient or pharmacy stated refill requests are normalized, attached to the right chart, and dropped into the prescribing provider's Tebra task list. Controlled substances and overdue follow ups are flagged for human review.
4. Copay at Time of Service Collection
Outstanding copay or balance surfaced from Tebra PM during the booking call. Payment link delivered by SMS so the patient walks in already paid, which is how practices recover the 12 to 18 percent of copays that normally leak.
Reviews and reputation
Tebra Engage and PatientPop Review Handoffs
Reviews are the lifeblood of Tebra practices, and PatientPop built its brand on them. MedReception AI feeds the review engine the moment a visit closes.
Post Visit Review Request Handoff
- • Visit completion event in Tebra PM triggers the handoff
- • Patient gets a Tebra Engage or PatientPop branded review request
- • Sentiment routed to Google, Healthgrades, or internal channels
- • Negative experiences captured privately before they go public
- • Provider level reporting on review velocity and rating trend
Closing the Marketing Loop
- • Source attribution from the original PatientPop landing page
- • Conversion data fed back into PatientPop dashboards
- • Review momentum lifting local pack rankings
- • Owners see the line from SEO visit to booked appointment to 5 star review
- • Front desk no longer the bottleneck for any of it
