After-Hours
After-hours calls don't stop at 5 PM. Capture every evening, weekend, and holiday call with intelligent triage that escalates true emergencies while booking routine requests.
A patient calling after hours with chest pain or other critical symptoms reaches triage immediately. The AI escalates to your on-call provider with full context—no delay, no missed message.
Patients calling to reschedule or confirm an appointment don't need live staff. The AI books them for the next available slot, and staff sees the record the next morning.
Every after-hours call is screened and triaged. Your on-call provider only gets truly urgent cases, not spam or routine requests they can't resolve at night.
Documented escalation of urgent calls protects your practice legally and ensures no patient falls through the cracks during off-hours.

Secure escalation and call recording
The AI is trained on medical keyword recognition and caller tone. Calls mentioning chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe injury, or other red flags are immediately escalated. Callers can also self-identify urgency.
The AI asks clarifying questions to understand the issue. If there's any doubt, it escalates to your on-call provider rather than risk missing a serious issue.
Yes. You configure what 'urgent' means for your practice—whether that's immediate escalation to the on-call provider, routing to your answering service, or directing the caller to urgent care.
The AI checks your next-day availability and books them if slots are open. If the office is closed for multiple days, the AI logs the request for staff to handle first thing when the office reopens.
Yes. Your MedReception dashboard shows every after-hours call with outcome, escalation status, and call summary. You can review urgent cases to ensure they were handled appropriately.
