Call Routing

Intelligent Call Screening and Triage for Fresno Clinics

Route incoming calls intelligently using AI. Screen symptoms, prioritize urgency, and route patients to the right provider or department without staff involvement.

How it pays back

Urgent Calls Reach Clinicians Immediately

AI identifies medical urgency and routes time-sensitive calls to providers or urgent care without delay. Routine calls book appointments automatically.

Front Desk No Longer Screens Calls

Staff are freed from intake and routing work. They handle complex bookings, check-in, and billing only. Every call is already triaged when it reaches them.

Patients Matched to Right Provider

AI learns your provider specialties and patient needs. Cardio patients reach cardiology; pediatric patients reach pediatrics. No wrong-number transfers.

Hold Times and Dropped Calls Eliminated

Calls are routed instantly to the right person or queued intelligently. Patients don't wait in voicemail or on hold.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI decide which calls are urgent?

The AI asks screening questions about symptoms and chief complaint. Red flags (chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, etc.) trigger immediate escalation. You define urgency criteria during setup.

Can the AI route calls to specific providers?

Yes. The AI can ask which provider the patient prefers or needs, read your EHR to understand provider specialties, and route accordingly. If the preferred provider is full, the AI offers the next available alternative.

What if the caller's needs don't match any provider or department?

The AI can escalate to a manager, add the caller to a callback queue, offer to book a consultation with the practice director, or recommend an outside referral.

Does call triage slow down the caller experience?

No. The AI screens calls during natural conversation. Most triage calls take 1–2 minutes. Callers move from question to provider or appointment faster than traditional phone routing.

Can I review triage decisions and routing logs?

Yes. All calls, triage decisions, and routing decisions are logged in your MedReception dashboard. You can review transcripts and adjust routing rules based on patterns you observe.

Does the AI integrate with my EHR's provider directory?

Yes. The AI works alongside your EHR to read provider specialties, schedules, and availability. Routing decisions are based on real-time data.
