After-Hours Coverage
Family medicine practices in Fresno field after-hours calls on personal phones, miss urgent callbacks, and lose new patients to voicemail. MedReception AI answers every call after hours, captures patient details, routes urgent cases to your on-call provider, and books next-available appointments, no voicemail dead ends, no missed revenue.

Fresno family medicine practices miss calls after hours. When a patient reaches voicemail after 5 PM, they call a competitor. MedReception answers instantly, captures their reason for calling, and either books them or ensures your on-call team gets a structured summary, not a garbled note.
Urgent calls are routed to your on-call number with a live transfer or callback summary, depending on how you configure it. Routine calls, refills, appointment changes, billing questions, are logged and waiting for your staff at 8 AM with full patient intake already captured.
MedReception works during business hours to cut front-desk phone volume, then switches to after-hours mode automatically when your office closes. No separate service to manage, no manual handoff. You set your hours once; the AI handles the rest.

You set your office hours during setup. Outside those hours, the AI automatically answers with your after-hours greeting. No manual toggle needed; it switches on its own every day.
You define what counts as urgent during setup. Common triggers are chest pain, severe injury, or a patient requesting the on-call provider. When the AI detects those keywords, it routes the call to your on-call number with a live transfer or callback option. Routine calls are logged for morning review.
Yes. If your practice uses one of our 13+ supported EMRs, the AI can check real availability and confirm a next-available slot. If you prefer, you can have the AI take a message instead and let your staff book in the morning. You choose the workflow.
A complete call log with the patient's name, phone, reason for calling, whether it was routed as urgent or routine, and any appointment request or message left. If an appointment was booked, it's already in your EMR. If clinical details were captured, they're formatted as a structured summary ready to paste into the chart.
MedReception integrates with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, and Nextech. If your EMR is not listed, custom integration is available. Want MedReception integrated with your system? Book a demo and we will scope it.
