By MedReception AI, physician-built by Paul Toomey, MDPublished Nov 4, 2026

The short answer

MedReception AI costs $299 per month on the Studio plan, which includes 500 minutes, and $495 to $1,495 per month on managed plans for a small healthcare practice. Essential is $495 per month for 500 minutes, Professional is $995 per month for 1,000 minutes, and Elite is $1,495 per month for 2,000 minutes. Studio charges $0.95 per additional minute. After-hours coverage and voicemail are included on Professional and Elite, and each is a $99 per month add-on on Essential. EHR integration on Studio is an add-on at $1,500 one time plus $99 per month. The right tier depends on call volume and on whether the practice wants after-hours coverage.

What does an AI phone receptionist cost per month for a small practice?

MedReception AI starts at $299 per month on the Studio plan for 500 minutes. Managed plans run $495 per month for Essential, $995 per month for Professional and $1,495 per month for Elite. Small practices with modest call volume usually look at Studio or Essential first, while busier practices compare Professional and Elite. Each price covers a monthly bucket of minutes rather than a per-seat fee.

The Studio plan is the lowest monthly price listed. The managed plans, Essential, Professional and Elite, step up in included minutes. A small practice compares the monthly price first and the add-ons second, because add-ons change the real total.

Setup typically takes one week from signup to launch. A practice therefore pays the monthly price for a service that goes live quickly rather than waiting through a long rollout. Katie answers during the day, and the other agents cover the remaining hours.

How many minutes are included in each plan?

The Studio plan and the Essential plan each include 500 minutes per month. The Professional plan includes 1,000 minutes and the Elite plan includes 2,000 minutes. Studio charges $0.95 per additional minute beyond the included 500 minutes. MedReception AI sells minutes in tiers so that a practice can match the plan to its call load.

Minutes measure time on calls, so longer scheduling calls use more of the bucket than quick questions about office hours. A practice with steady daytime volume often reviews a typical week of calls before picking a tier.

The Studio overage rate is $0.95 per additional minute. The managed plans publish their included minutes, and a practice that regularly outgrows a bucket can compare moving up a tier against paying for extra minutes on Studio.

What add-ons change the monthly price?

Annie handles after-hours calls and Victoria handles voicemail. Both are included on Professional and Elite, and each is a $99 per month add-on on Essential. On Studio, EHR integration is an add-on at $1,500 one time plus $99 per month. A practice adds these items to the base plan price to find its true monthly cost. MedReception AI lists the add-ons separately so the base price stays clear.

An Essential practice that wants both after-hours coverage and voicemail adds $99 per month for each. Professional includes both, so a practice that needs both should compare Essential with add-ons against the Professional price before deciding.

EHR integration is a separate line on Studio. Live integrations include athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, ModMed, Tebra and Nextech, among others listed. Other systems are available through secure workflow automation. A practice confirms its system with MedReception AI before signing.

What does a missed call cost compared with the monthly price?

MedReception AI answers calls 24/7 and books appointments, which addresses the gap created when practices miss about 30 to 50 percent of calls. A monthly plan price is best judged against the appointments that unanswered calls would otherwise lose. Unlimited simultaneous calls mean callers do not wait in a queue when several phones ring at once. Practices compare the plan price with their own average visit value to judge the return.

The 30 to 50 percent figure describes practices in general, not any one office. A practice can review its own phone logs for a week and compare its missed calls with the value of its own visits.

Sallie handles scheduling and recalls, and Victoria handles voicemail. A practice decides which of these agents matter most to its schedule before choosing a plan, because the answer shapes which tier and add-ons make sense.

Which plan fits a small medical or dental practice?

MedReception AI serves medical and dental practices. A solo or small office with light call volume often starts with Studio at $299 per month or Essential at $495 per month. A practice that wants after-hours coverage and voicemail built in compares Professional at $995 per month. Elite at $1,495 per month suits the highest call volume of the four plans.

Medical and dental practices are served. Veterinary practices are not served. A practice outside those fields should look at other vendors, and a practice inside them should check its EHR against the live integrations.

A practice with heavy evening calls leans toward Professional because Annie is included. A practice with light evening calls may keep Essential and add only the coverage needed. The decision follows call timing as much as call volume.

How does HIPAA compliance factor into the price?

HIPAA compliance for MedReception AI is verified by Compliancy Group, and a BAA is included, so a practice does not buy it separately. MedReception AI is a business associate, not a covered entity. Paul Toomey, MD, a general surgeon, built MedReception AI with clinic workflows in mind, and compliance sits inside the plan rather than on a separate invoice.

Compliance questions belong in the buying process alongside price. A practice asks for the BAA, confirms the Compliancy Group verification and keeps the signed agreement on file with its other vendor contracts before patient calls begin.

Language coverage is also part of value. MedReception AI speaks 59 languages and books end to end in English, Spanish and Korean. A practice reviews the languages its patients speak and confirms which ones need booking from start to finish.

Your options, compared honestly

The table lists MedReception AI, the only vendor on this page, with its plans and monthly prices. A practice comparing other vendors should request each vendor's published pricing and ask the same questions about minutes, after-hours coverage, voicemail and EHR integration. Matching those four items makes monthly prices comparable across vendors. No competitor is compared here because only MedReception AI's published prices are stated.
