AI Receptionist Plans for Small Practices Start at $299 per Month
By MedReception AI, physician-built by Paul Toomey, MDPublished
The short answer
MedReception AI, the physician-built AI receptionist for medical and dental practices, starts at $299 per month on the Studio plan, which includes 500 minutes. Managed plans run from Essential at $495 per month for 500 minutes, to Professional at $995 per month for 1,000 minutes, to Elite at $1,495 per month for 2,000 minutes. The Studio plan charges $0.95 per additional minute. After-hours coverage and voicemail are included on Professional and Elite. Practices miss about 30 to 50 percent of calls, so the right plan depends on call volume, after-hours needs and whether the practice wants an EHR connection.

- After-hours and voicemail are included on Professional and Elite.
- EHR integration on Studio is a one-time fee plus a monthly add-on.
What does the Studio plan cost?
The Studio plan from MedReception AI costs $299 per month and includes 500 minutes of call handling. Additional minutes are billed at $0.95 per additional minute. Studio is the entry point for a small practice that wants an AI receptionist answering calls and booking appointments at the lowest monthly commitment.
The Studio plan suits a practice with modest call volume that is comfortable with a lighter setup. Katie answers daytime calls and the agent books appointments, so the front desk is not the only way a caller reaches the practice. Callers get an answer even when staff are busy with patients in the office.
Studio does not bundle an EHR connection. On the Studio plan, EHR integration is an add-on at $1,500 one time plus $99 per month, which the practice can add when it wants bookings to flow into its system. Practices without that need can simply stay on the base price.
What do the managed plans cost?
MedReception AI offers three managed plans. 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. Each step adds minutes, and the higher tiers fold in coverage that Essential sells separately.
Managed plans fit practices that want MedReception AI configured for them rather than built on their own. A practice with steady daily call volume usually compares the included minutes against its typical month before choosing a tier. That comparison keeps the plan matched to real usage.
Essential is the lowest managed price, while Elite carries the largest minute allowance. The Professional plan sits between them and is the first managed tier where after-hours and voicemail coverage are included, which simplifies the monthly bill for many practices.
What do after-hours and voicemail add?
After-hours coverage by Annie and voicemail handling by Victoria are included on the Professional and Elite plans from MedReception AI. On the Essential plan, each is a $99 per month add-on. A practice that needs both on Essential should compare the add-on total against the Professional price.
Annie answers calls when the office is closed, so evening and weekend callers reach an agent that can book an appointment instead of leaving a message nobody returns until morning. Practices gain coverage without staffing a night shift or an answering line.
Victoria handles voicemail. Practices that already know calls arrive outside business hours often find that the included coverage on a higher tier is simpler than stacking separate add-ons on a lower one, and the budget stays easier to predict.
What else affects the monthly cost?
Three things shape the monthly cost of MedReception AI: the plan's included minutes, any additional minutes beyond them, and whether an EHR integration is needed. Call volume drives the first two, while the practice's software decides the third. Setup typically takes one week from signup to launch.
Unlimited simultaneous calls means the practice does not pay for extra lines to avoid busy signals. Minutes, not concurrent callers, are the measure that matters when comparing plans, so a busy morning does not create a separate charge.
Language needs also deserve a look. MedReception AI speaks 59 languages and books end to end in English, Spanish and Korean, which can matter for practices serving multilingual patients and wanting those callers to finish a booking in one call.
Which EHR systems connect to the plans?
MedReception AI has live integrations with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, ModMed, Tebra, Nextech, Office Ally, SimplePractice, Elation, Practice Fusion and Hint, along with other systems on the published list. For a system that is not on that list, other systems are available through secure workflow automation.
Further live integrations include Veracity by AllegianceMD, PatientNow, TELUS Med Access, TELUS PS Suite, Azalea Health, Amazing Charts, CharmHealth, TherapyNotes and Eye Cloud Pro. A practice should confirm its own system before signing up, so the connection is settled early.
The cost of connecting depends on the plan. The Studio plan lists EHR integration as a one-time fee plus a monthly add-on, so a practice that needs a connection should include that in its budget alongside the monthly plan price.
Is the price worth it for a small practice?
MedReception AI is priced against the cost of missed calls, since practices miss about 30 to 50 percent of calls. Each missed call can be a patient who books elsewhere. A small practice should weigh the monthly plan price against the appointments an always-answering agent can capture.
MedReception AI is a business associate, includes a BAA, and its HIPAA compliance is verified by Compliancy Group. That matters for cost because a compliant setup avoids the separate legal work a generic tool might require, and the physician-built design reflects real clinical workflows.
Dental practices are served as well as medical practices. Veterinary practices are not served, so a veterinary clinic should look at a different product. Every other small practice can compare the plans above against its own call volume.
