Physical Therapy

Answer every PT intake call and route by injury type, provider, and urgency, without a live receptionist.

Physical therapy practices in Fresno field high-volume intake calls during peak hours and after hours. MedReception AI answers every call, captures mechanism of injury, prior PT history, imaging reports, and insurance details, then books patients into the right provider's schedule or escalates urgent cases. Intake is structured and ready for your EMR.

How it pays back

No more missed PT intake calls

Front desks in busy Fresno practices field heavy call volume, especially during business hours and peak injury seasons. Missed calls lose new patients and referrals. MedReception answers every incoming call, day and night, so no intake call goes to voicemail.

Faster patient onboarding, fewer phone tag rounds

Intake is captured on the call, injury details, imaging status, insurance, prior PT, and returned as a structured summary your staff paste into your EMR. Patients book their first appointment immediately or receive a callback with available slots, cutting phone tag and speeding the start of care.

Built for PT workflows, integrated with your EMR

MedReception is custom-configured for physical therapy: terminology, provider schedules, injury triage rules, and EMR routing. We integrate with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, and Nextech. Setup takes about a week; your EHR connection and phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days.

Escalate urgent cases in seconds

Set your own rules: acute trauma, severe swelling, post-surgical complications, or neurological symptoms route immediately to your on-call PT or physician. The AI does not make clinical decisions; your practice controls the escalation criteria and the clinician decides next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Does MedReception integrate with our PT EMR?

We integrate with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, and Nextech. If you use a different EMR, custom integration is available: book a demo and we will scope yours.

How does MedReception handle PT intake differently from general medical intake?

We configure MedReception for PT workflows: mechanism of injury, affected body part, prior PT or surgical history, imaging reports, and provider or injury-type routing. Intake is tuned to your specialty and your practice's rules, not a generic template.

Can MedReception escalate urgent cases like acute post-op swelling or neurological symptoms?

Yes. You set the escalation rules, acute trauma, severe pain, post-surgical complications, or other red flags you define, and urgent calls route immediately to your on-call PT or physician. The AI does not make clinical decisions; it follows your criteria and escalates. Your clinician decides the response.

What happens to insurance information captured on the call?

Insurance details are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file per your workflow. Insurance is not written to the EMR.

How quickly can we launch?

Setup takes about a week from signup. Your EHR connection and phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering your number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. There is no setup fee on managed plans.
