Capture new-patient demographics on the phone with AI, then paste a structured summary into your EMR. Katie answers in under a second, 24/7.
Section 1
New patient registration starts on the phone
Most new-patient relationships begin with a call, and the first call is where demographics get captured or lost. Front desks field heavy call volume, so registration questions get rushed, spelled wrong, or left half-finished when the next line rings. Missed and abandoned calls mean the new patient never makes it into your system at all. MedReception AI answers every registration call in under a second, on unlimited simultaneous lines, so no caller waits on hold to give you their information. Katie handles instant answering and Annie covers after-hours, which means someone is capturing new-patient details early in the morning and late at night, not just during staffed office hours. The AI works in multiple languages, so callers can register in the language they are comfortable speaking, and the details still land in your workflow in clean, readable English for your team.
Section 2
What gets captured, cleanly and consistently
During a registration call the AI walks through the fields your front desk already asks for: legal name and spelling, date of birth, address, phone and email, preferred contact method, and the reason for establishing care. It captures insurance details for routing and capture purposes, the plan and member ID as stated by the caller, and which provider or location the patient wants, then applies routing by provider, urgency, or triage so the right team sees it. Because MedReception AI is built for healthcare and honors HIPAA-aligned handling under a signed BAA, sensitive information is treated appropriately from the first question. The AI never makes clinical decisions and never changes a chart on its own. It collects, confirms spelling back to the caller, and organizes, so your staff receives a complete demographic record instead of a voicemail they have to decode and call back to finish.
Section 3
A structured summary your team can paste into the EMR
Every registration call becomes a structured, EMR-pasteable summary rather than a raw recording. Your staff opens the patient record, pastes the demographics and insurance fields into the right places, and confirms, keeping a human in the loop for every entry because the AI makes no autonomous chart changes. MedReception AI integrates with named systems including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed, with athenahealth and eClinicalWorks typically live in one to three weeks and others in three to six weeks. One practical advantage: MedReception AI is EMR-independent and portable, so the registration workflow you build stays yours even if you switch systems later. Victoria also turns any voicemail that slips through into the same clean summary format, so nothing is lost between calls and every new patient reaches your team in a consistent, readable shape.
Section 4
Built for your specialty and your intake questions
Registration is not identical across practices. A dermatology front desk asks different establishing questions than a cardiology or behavioral health office, and MedReception AI ships with more than thirty specialty templates so the intake script matches how your practice actually works. The registration flow is custom-built per client, and MedReception AI includes free lifetime edits and optimization, so when you add a location, change a required field, or adjust which provider new patients route to, the AI is updated for you by a real team. That white-glove support means you are not filing a ticket into a queue or paying for every change. Sallie can carry a fully captured new patient straight into scheduling once registration is complete, so a single call moves someone from first contact to a booked first visit without your staff stitching the steps together by hand.
Section 5
Hear a registration call handled end to end
The fastest way to judge whether this fits your front desk is to hear it. Book a MedReception AI demo and we will walk a realistic new-patient registration call from the first ring through the structured summary your staff would paste into your EMR. You will see how Katie confirms spelling, captures demographics and insurance for routing, applies your routing rules, and hands a clean record to your team, with no autonomous chart changes and no clinical decisions anywhere in the flow. Bring your current intake questions and your EMR, whether that is athenahealth, Epic, eClinicalWorks, Elation, or another named system, and we will show how the workflow would be built for your practice, including the free lifetime edits that keep it current as your registration process changes. Serving practices across the US, Canada, and Australia under the appropriate privacy framework for your region.
