After-Hours + Daytime Coverage
Orthopedic practices in Fresno lose calls to voicemail after hours and during peak daytime volume. MedReception's AI receptionist answers immediately, triages acute injuries and post-op concerns by the rules you set, escalates urgent cases to your on-call provider or ER, and books follow-up appointments into your EMR. Staff review and confirm bookings in the morning. No night-shift hiring. No missed patients.

Orthopedic injuries, fractures, post-op swelling, infection concerns, often call after hours. Voicemail traps them. MedReception answers, asks the right questions by your intake template, and escalates true emergencies to your on-call team or ER. Routine follow-ups are booked for morning. You control the escalation rules; the AI executes them.
Appointments are booked directly into your EMR during the call. Your staff review and confirm when they arrive, no re-entry, no lost details. New patient demographics and caller information are captured and returned as a structured summary your team reviews and files into the chart. Ready for the provider before the patient walks in.
MedReception is built per client, not plug-and-play. Your orthopedic triage rules, provider routing, urgent escalation thresholds, and EMR connection are configured during onboarding. If your protocols change, edits are free for life. Your AI receptionist stays aligned with your practice.
