Mental Health
Mental health practices in Fresno field urgent calls outside business hours, crisis support, medication refills, appointment reschedules, new patient inquiries. Traditional voicemail leaves callers hanging and your practice scrambling to return messages. MedReception's after-hours AI receptionist, Annie, answers every call immediately, gathers structured clinical intake, routes urgent concerns to on-call staff, and books appointments across all your locations without manual callbacks.

When a patient in crisis reaches voicemail, they hang up. Annie answers in seconds, documents their concern with clinical context, and escalates to your on-call clinician immediately. Your practice responds to urgent situations instead of discovering them in a callback queue the next morning.
Annie captures presenting concern, medication list, allergies, recent changes, and safety flags during the call. That structured summary lands in your EMR inbox for your clinician to review before the appointment. New patients and existing patients both get consistent, thorough intake, no more incomplete handoff notes.
Callers tell Annie their preferred provider or location; she checks availability across all your Fresno clinics and books the best fit. Your staff no longer transfers calls between offices or consolidates overlapping schedules. Appointments sync to each location's EMR automatically.
We configure Annie's intake questions, escalation rules, and location routing based on your workflows and clinical protocols. You get a dedicated onboarding team and free lifetime edits, no plug-and-play setup. If you switch EMRs later, Annie moves with you.

You set the escalation rules. Annie asks screening questions you define, suicidal ideation, self-harm, medication emergencies, safety concerns, and routes those calls to your on-call clinician immediately. Non-urgent calls are documented for callback or booked to the next available appointment slot.
Annie checks availability across all your Fresno locations and providers. If the caller's preferred clinician is available at another clinic, Annie offers that slot and books it. If not, she offers the next available time with that provider or suggests alternatives based on your preference rules.
No. Annie captures intake as a structured summary, presenting concern, medication list, allergies, clinical flags, and returns it to your staff inbox. Your clinician reviews it and files it into the chart. This keeps your documentation accurate and under your control; the AI never writes clinical notes.
Annie still answers every call, handles intake, and sends booking requests to your staff. Your team enters appointments into your EHR. 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. Your EHR connection and practice phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering your number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Your onboarding team guides you through intake configuration and escalation rules during that week.
