OB-GYN After-Hours
OB-GYN practices field calls around the clock: labor questions, postpartum concerns, medication refills, and true emergencies. MedReception's AI receptionist answers every weekend and after-hours call, triages by urgency, escalates to your on-call provider with full context, and books routine callbacks, so no call goes to voicemail and no patient is left hanging.

A patient calling Friday evening with a labor question or a postpartum concern hears a live voice, not a voicemail box. They get an answer or a callback appointment scheduled on the spot. No call abandoned, no patient calling a competitor, no revenue walking out the door.
Your provider is paged only when it matters, and they get a structured summary: chief complaint, labor status, vital signs if reported, allergies, current medications, and the exact question the patient called with. No guessing. No callback to a patient with no context. They make the decision and move on.
You set the rules. Define what gets escalated immediately (active labor, hemorrhage, chest pain), what gets a callback appointment, and what goes to the morning queue. The AI follows your protocol every time, every night, every weekend, no variation, no override.
New patient intake and appointment bookings sync to your EMR (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech). Your on-call rotation is built in, so the AI always knows who to page. Call summaries, chief complaint, labor status, vital signs, allergies, medications, are structured and returned to your staff as EMR-pasteable text for review and filing.
Your team goes home. The AI works the nights and weekends. Calls are answered, triaged, and logged. Staff arrive to an organized queue of callbacks and escalations, not a stack of voicemails and a scramble to figure out what happened.

No voicemail, no abandoned calls, no missed revenue, nights, weekends, holidays
Urgent calls escalated
Your rules define what goes to the on-call provider; AI routes and pages instantly with full context

Labor status, pain level, bleeding, medications, allergies, and patient questions captured and summarized for your team
On-call roster integrated
AI knows who is on call tonight and routes accordingly; no manual updates, no confusion
The AI answers immediately, asks about labor status, contractions, bleeding, and any other concerns. If your protocol flags active labor or a warning sign as urgent, the AI pages your on-call provider with a summary. If it's a routine question (when to come in, what to expect), the AI can schedule a callback or provide reassurance and next steps based on your guidance. Either way, the patient is heard, not sent to voicemail.
You define the escalation rules. You tell us: active labor, severe pain, heavy bleeding, or chest pain goes to the on-call provider immediately. Routine questions, refill requests, and postpartum concerns get a callback appointment or morning queue. The AI applies your rules consistently, every call, every night.
The AI captures the call as a structured summary: chief complaint, labor status, vital signs if reported, allergies, medications, and the patient's exact question. That summary is returned to your staff as EMR-pasteable text. Your team reviews it and files it into the chart, so you maintain full control and accuracy of the medical record.
Katie, our AI, still answers every call, captures intake, and sends booking requests to your staff. Your team enters appointments into your EMR as usual. Custom integration available: want MedReception integrated with your EHR? We build custom EHR integrations; book a demo and we will scope yours.
Launch takes about one week from signup. The EHR connection and your practice phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering the number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Your on-call rotation and escalation rules are configured during onboarding, and you're live for the next weekend shift.
