AI Receptionist for Terra
Terra practices need the phone covered without adding a person to a small team. MedReception AI answers every call, handles coverage without new headcount, and books against the right Terra appointment type.
Also written as Terra EHR and Terra Health — MedReception AI supports Terra practices however you spell it.

1 · Where Terra phone workflows break
What the phone costs a Terra practice
The call competes with the person at the desk
In small practices the phone loses to whoever is standing there, and the caller does not always try again.
Coverage without new headcount takes the longest calls
These are the enquiries staff most want to handle well and least have time for, so they become callbacks that pile up.
Evening calls become morning backlog
Every unanswered after-hours call arrives as a voicemail to work through before the first patient.
Bookings land on the wrong appointment type
A booking made without the right detail costs more time later than it saved on the call.
2 · What MedReception AI does alongside Terra
AI reception built for Terra workflows
Coverage
Every line answered
Answers instantly whether the desk is occupied, at lunch, or closed.
Scheduling
Booked to the right Terra appointment type
Mirrors your own appointment types, so a booking arrives complete rather than needing correction.
Documentation
A structured summary per call
Every call produces a summary that pastes into Terra without retyping.
Triage
Urgent separated from routine
Escalates on rules you define instead of leaving everything in one queue.
3 · Practice types
Built for every Terra practice model
Single-provider practices
Cover the phone without hiring.
Small groups
Route by provider and visit type before anyone picks up.
Multi-location
Send callers to the site holding their record.
Extended-hours clinics
Consistent handling outside core hours.
