Weekend & After-Hours Coverage
Pain management patients call on weekends with medication questions, refill requests, and acute flare-ups. MedReception's Annie handles weekend and after-hours calls 24/7, captures structured intake, routes urgent cases to on-call staff, and books Monday appointments, so your practice never misses a patient or a revenue opportunity.

Pain management patients expect access. Voicemail forces them to call competitors on Monday. Annie answers Saturday and Sunday, captures their reason for calling, and routes urgent cases to your on-call team in seconds. Non-urgent calls are logged with full intake ready for your Monday morning callback.
You set the escalation rules. Calls mentioning acute pain, medication side effects, or post-procedure concerns trigger immediate escalation to your on-call provider or nursing line. Annie does not make clinical decisions; your team does. She routes and logs, so nothing slips through.
Every weekend call returns a structured summary: patient details, chief complaint, and any red flags your staff flagged during the call. Staff review and file into the chart. No scrambling to decode voicemail or reconstruct what the patient said.
Annie books Saturday and Sunday callers into your Monday and Tuesday slots. New patient records are created with verified name, DOB, and phone. Your front desk starts Monday with a full schedule and zero intake friction.
MedReception builds your AI per your workflow: your escalation rules, your pain management templates, your EMR, your phone number. White-glove onboarding means your team trains Annie on your protocols. FREE lifetime edits and optimization keep her aligned as your practice evolves. Switch EMRs later; Annie comes with you.

Annie answers, listens, and captures intake. She routes calls based on the rules you set (e.g., 'escalate mentions of severe pain or medication side effects'). Your clinicians decide what to do. She does not diagnose, prescribe, or triage clinically; she routes and logs so your team has full context when they call back.
Annie captures the patient's name, current medications, pharmacy, and refill request. The call is logged as a structured summary and queued for your Monday morning review. If you want urgent refills handled differently, we can set up escalation rules during onboarding. You control the workflow.
You define urgency during setup. For example, you might flag calls mentioning acute pain, numbness, allergic reactions, or post-operative complications. Annie listens for those keywords and escalates to your on-call line or staff phone. Non-urgent calls are logged and queued for business hours callback.
Yes. Annie books appointments directly into your EHR (athenahealth, Tebra, eClinicalWorks, etc.). New patient records are created with verified name, DOB, and phone. Your front desk does not re-enter data on Monday; the appointment and patient record are ready to go.
Launch takes about one week from signup. Your EHR connection and phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering the number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Our onboarding team handles the setup; you just train Annie on your escalation rules and templates.
