After-Hours

Medical practices that answer every call, day and night

AI receptionist that answers calls 24/7 without voicemail, books appointments, and captures patient intake, so no call goes unanswered when your staff is not available.

How it pays back

No missed calls during off-hours

Callers reach a live AI receptionist at night, on weekends, and on holidays. Your practice answers every inbound call, even when the office is closed.

Appointments booked without staff overhead

The AI checks your schedule, confirms availability, and books appointments. Staff see a summary in the EHR or portal and confirm the booking once they return.

Patient intake captured on every call

New patients answer intake questions during the call. Answers are returned as a structured summary your staff review and file, reducing check-in time.

Urgent cases escalated immediately

If a patient reports chest pain, difficulty breathing, or another critical symptom, the AI transfers the call to your on-call clinician or directs them to emergency services.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to calls that come in at night?

Katie, the MedReception AI receptionist, answers every call. She greets the caller, asks what they need, and either books an appointment for the next available slot, captures their intake information, or escalates urgent calls to your on-call clinician or emergency services.

Does the AI book appointments into my EHR?

Yes. Katie checks your schedule in your EHR, confirms availability, and writes the appointment booking and new patient demographics directly to your system. Your staff see the new booking and can review the intake summary captured on the call.

Can the AI handle patient intake?

Yes. The AI asks common intake questions during the call. Answers are returned as a structured summary that your staff review and file into the patient record.

What if the call is an emergency?

The AI listens for urgent symptoms (chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, etc.) and immediately transfers the call to your on-call clinician or directs the patient to 911.

Do I need to replace my current phone system?

No. The AI receptionist integrates with your existing phone number and EHR. About a week from signup, your number is ready to receive calls through Katie.

What if the AI doesn't understand a caller?

If the AI cannot understand the caller or the request is complex, she offers to transfer the call to your staff voicemail or to the on-call clinician. Your team can listen to the full call recording in the MedReception portal and follow up.
