Frequently asked questions

How does Katie handle a patient who doesn't want to reschedule?

Katie notes the patient's reason (too busy, switching providers, etc.) and logs it. Staff can follow up manually or flag the chart. No appointment is booked without patient consent.

What if a patient's phone number is wrong or out of service?

Katie tries the number, detects the error, and escalates to staff if she cannot reach the patient. If a new number is available in your EMR, Katie can try that. Staff can update contact info and retry.

Does Katie book appointments into all EMR types?

MedReception integrates with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech, ChARM, Amazing Charts, Azalea Health, Eye Cloud Pro, and HealthQuest. Katie writes bookings directly to these systems. For other EMRs, Katie sends a structured booking request that staff enter in seconds.

How long does a recall campaign take to run?

Katie can dial your entire recall list in parallel. A 50-patient list takes hours to days depending on answer rates and availability. You pick the dial schedule: nights, weekends, or during business hours.

Can we segment recall lists by appointment type or specialty?

Yes. Upload a CSV with patient phone numbers, preferred appointment type, and any notes. Katie dials the group and books into the correct time slot type.
