Custom-Built, Not Plug-and-Play
Insurance & Payer Call Routing, Configured to You
MedReception AI routes insurance and payer questions by your exact front-desk rules, captures the details, and never gives coverage advice. See a demo.
Section 1
Payer Questions Handled Your Way, Not a Generic Script
Insurance calls are some of the trickiest a front desk fields. A caller wants to know if you take their plan, whether a referral is needed, or what their copay will be, and every practice answers those differently depending on contracts, networks, and internal policy. MedReception AI does not guess at any of it. Katie answers in under a second, listens for what the caller is actually asking, and follows the exact routing rules your office defines. If your policy is to confirm accepted plans from a set list, she does that. If coverage specifics belong with your billing team, she captures the plan name, member ID, and question, then routes accordingly. The AI captures and directs; it never invents a coverage answer or quotes a benefit it was not given. You decide what it says and where each call goes.
Section 2
Configured to Your Real Payer Process
There is no universal payer script, so we do not ship one. During setup, your onboarding covers which plans you accept, which lines of business you contract with, when a call should reach billing versus scheduling, and how you want out-of-network or self-pay callers handled. Those decisions become the AI's routing logic. A caller asking about a plan you accept can be confirmed and moved toward booking through Sallie; a caller with a benefits or claims question is captured with the details your biller needs and routed to the right queue or voicemail, where Victoria turns it into a clean summary. Because MedReception AI is EMR-independent, this configuration travels with you if your systems change, and edits are free for life, so when a contract or accepted-plan list shifts, we update the routing at no cost.
Section 3
What Gets Captured, and Why It Saves Your Team Time
When an insurance call comes in, the useful part is rarely the conversation itself; it is the structured detail your team needs to act. MedReception AI captures what you ask it to capture: caller name and date of birth, plan or payer name, member and group IDs read back for accuracy, the specific question, and the callback path. That arrives as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary your staff can drop into athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Tebra, or your other named systems without retyping. Nothing is written autonomously to the chart, and no clinical or coverage determination is made by the AI; a person reviews and acts. The result is that your biller opens a call already knowing the plan, the member number, and the ask, instead of playing phone tag to reconstruct it. Multilingual capture means the same clean handoff whether the caller speaks English or another language.
Section 4
It Routes and Records, It Never Advises
This distinction is the whole point of doing payer calls responsibly. Coverage, eligibility, and benefit questions are determinations, and MedReception AI does not make them. It will not tell a caller they are covered, quote a deductible it was not explicitly configured to state, or interpret a plan's rules. What it does is recognize the type of question, follow your instructions for that type, capture the caller's information accurately, and hand it to the right person on your team. Urgent items can be flagged and routed faster; routine benefit questions can be queued for billing during business hours. Unlimited simultaneous calls mean a Monday-morning surge of insurance questions never produces a busy signal or a long hold, and 24/7 after-hours coverage through Annie captures the ones that come in when the office is closed, so nothing waits until someone happens to call back.
Section 5
See Your Payer Routing Built to Spec
The best way to judge this is to hear it follow your rules. In a MedReception AI demo, we walk through how insurance and payer calls would actually flow at your practice: which plans get confirmed, where benefit and claims questions go, what your team sees in the structured summary, and how a caller experiences an answer in under a second instead of a hold queue. Bring your accepted-plan list and your trickiest payer scenarios, and we will show how the AI captures and routes each one without ever giving coverage advice or touching the chart on its own. It is HIPAA-aligned with a BAA available, and built specifically for your workflow rather than bolted onto software you may replace later. Book a demo and see your payer routing configured the way your front desk already wants to run it.
