Frequently asked questions

Is MedReception AI compliant with Australian privacy law?

Yes. MedReception AI is Privacy Act and APP compliant by design. All patient voice calls and data are handled with privacy-first architecture. We do not store or use patient data for training.

Will it integrate with my Australian practice management system?

MedReception AI integrates with named EMR and practice management systems. Integration timelines vary by platform (athenahealth and eClinicalWorks typically 1–3 weeks; others 3–6 weeks). Contact our team to confirm your system and timeline.

Can patients schedule appointments during after-hours calls?

Yes. Callers can book available appointment slots via voice. The booking is confirmed instantly and syncs to your calendar and EMR—so your team sees it first thing in the morning.

How does triage work for urgent calls?

The AI recognizes urgency signals (chest pain, severe bleeding, acute distress) and flags those calls for immediate escalation to your staff. Non-urgent inquiries are handled by the AI; urgent ones are routed with full call context so your clinician has the full picture.

What happens to patient information captured on the call?

Medical history, allergies, symptoms, and questionnaire answers are captured on the call and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary. Your staff review and file it—the AI does not write clinical data directly to the chart.

Can I customize the AI's responses for my practice?

Yes. You configure greeting scripts, appointment availability, call routing rules, and triage protocols. The AI adapts its tone and workflow to match your practice's voice and clinical guidelines.
