Patient Intake
Learn how AI receptionists handle new patient intake forms during inbound calls, capture structured data, and return it ready for your staff to file into the chart.
New patients answer intake questions during the initial call with your AI receptionist. The call is recorded and structured data returned immediately—no scanning, no followup emails, no incomplete forms in your inbox.
Appointment bookings, new patient records, and caller demographics (name, DOB, phone) write directly to your EMR. Medical history, insurance, allergies, and symptoms are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file into the chart.
No clinical data is written to the patient record without human review. All intake information—whether captured by phone tree, web form, or AI conversation—is returned to your staff for review before charting. You maintain full documentation accountability.
When a new patient arrives or their appointment time comes, your clinical team has caller-provided intake already organized and ready. No time wasted transcribing voicemails or hunting for incomplete forms.

No. The AI receptionist gathers intake information during the patient's call, records the conversation, and returns a structured summary—typically name, DOB, contact info, chief complaint, medical history, and allergies. Your staff then reviews that summary and files it into the patient chart using your EMR's standard intake process. Nothing writes to the clinical record without human verification.
Appointment bookings, new patient creation, and caller demographics (name, date of birth, phone number) write directly to your EMR. All other intake data—insurance, medical history, symptoms, medications—is captured on the call, returned as a structured summary, and handed to staff for review and manual filing or copy-paste into the chart.
Yes, the AI can ask for and record insurance details during the call. However, insurance information is not auto-written to the patient record. It's captured on the call and returned as part of the structured intake summary for your staff to enter into the EMR's insurance fields.
If a new patient books an appointment but doesn't call beforehand, your front desk can still use the AI to handle the incoming call (for reschedules, cancellations, or same-day questions) or send them the MedReception portal link to upload intake forms on their own time before their visit. Staff can also manually enter intake info during check-in.
Yes. The AI can be configured to ask update questions of established patients calling for refills, appointment changes, or urgent concerns. Chief complaint and symptom details are captured and returned as a summary for your clinical team—the same structured, staff-reviewed process as new patient intake.
Yes. All calls are encrypted, retention policies are configurable, and no patient data leaves the secure MedReception environment without your explicit approval. Call recordings and transcripts are retained according to your practice's compliance and legal hold policies.
