After-Hours

Never Miss an After-Hours Call with AI Answering Service for AdvancedMD Practices

Let MedReception AI handle after-hours and weekend calls for your AdvancedMD practice. Capture patient information, triage urgent issues, schedule callbacks, and escalate emergencies—all integrated with your EHR.

How it pays back

Always Available

Patients never reach a voicemail box. Urgent calls are answered and triaged in real-time, improving satisfaction and preventing missed emergencies.

Informed On-Call Team

When the AI escalates to your on-call provider, they access complete patient context from AdvancedMD—prior visits, medications, allergies—enabling faster triage.

No Lost Messages

Every after-hours call is documented in the patient's AdvancedMD chart. Your staff begins the next day with full context of overnight interactions.

Reduced Burnout

On-call providers handle only truly urgent calls; routine requests (appointment changes, refill follow-ups) are queued as callbacks, preventing middle-of-night disruptions.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know when your AdvancedMD practice is after-hours?

We configure office hours in the AI system. Outside those hours, calls are routed to the AI's 24/7 mode. During business hours, calls route to your staff.

Can patients reach an on-call provider directly if it's truly urgent?

Yes. The AI triages urgency (chest pain, severe allergic reaction, etc.) and has a direct escalation protocol to your on-call provider. Non-urgent calls are scheduled for callback.

What if a patient needs a prescription refill after hours?

The AI collects the refill request and patient context, logs it in AdvancedMD, and can queue it for the provider's review at the start of business. Routine refills may be pre-authorized.

Do after-hours calls cost more?

Pricing is per-call or monthly, not time-of-day based. After-hours coverage is included in standard MedReception AI plans.
