Pain Management
Pain management practices handle complex patient needs: chronic pain follow-ups, medication refills, urgent flare-ups, and new patient consultations. When your front desk is overwhelmed or closed, calls go unanswered. MedReception AI answers every call immediately, triages by urgency, captures structured intake for your EMR, and books appointments directly into your schedule. Calls that need clinical review are escalated to your team with full context.

Front desks in pain management practices are swamped. Patients calling about new consultations, chronic pain follow-ups, or urgent flare-ups hang up when they reach voicemail or a long hold queue. MedReception AI picks up every call within seconds. New patients hear a professional greeting, answer intake questions, and leave with an appointment confirmation. Existing patients get immediate triage: urgent pain issues are escalated to your clinical team; routine refill requests and appointment changes are handled on the call.
Every call is captured as a structured summary: patient name, date of birth, phone, chief complaint, pain history, current medications, allergies, insurance info, and any notes the AI collected. Your staff review and file it into the chart. Nothing is written to your EMR without your review. Clinical decisions stay with your team. The AI routes and escalates; you decide.
When a patient books an appointment on the call, MedReception AI writes the booking and patient demographics directly to your EMR. No staff member re-enters the phone number or appointment time. Your schedule stays current and your team sees confirmed slots immediately.
Whether you need after-hours answering, weekend coverage, or peak-hour overflow, MedReception AI handles unlimited simultaneous calls. No hiring, no training, no turnover. Launch takes about one week from signup; your phone number and EMR connection are ready in 1 to 3 days.
MedReception AI integrates with 13+ EMRs including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Tebra, SimplePractice, and others. If you switch EMRs, your AI receptionist comes with you. Your call workflows, intake templates, and escalation rules stay intact. No rebuild, no lost configuration.

You set escalation rules. If a caller mentions severe pain, medication concerns, or other urgent issues, the AI immediately escalates the call to your clinical team or on-call provider with the full intake summary. The AI does not make clinical decisions; your team does. Routine calls like appointment changes or general questions are handled on the call.
Yes. The AI asks for insurance details, current medications, allergies, and other intake information during the call. That data is captured and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file into the chart. Insurance information is captured on the call and returned in the summary for your team to review before filing.
MedReception AI integrates with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, and Nextech. Appointment bookings and patient demographics write directly to your schedule and patient record. If you use a different EMR, Katie still answers every call and handles intake; your staff enter bookings manually, or we can scope a custom integration. Book a demo and we will discuss your setup.
Launch takes about one week from signup. Your phone number and EMR connection are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering your number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Our team handles the setup; no IT work required on your end.
Yes. MedReception AI is HIPAA compliant, verified by Compliancy Group, and signs a BAA with every practice. Voicemail, intake capture, and call routing are handled inside MedReception's secure infrastructure.
