Patient Intake
AI receptionists capture intake information during phone calls and return structured, EMR-ready summaries. Learn how this works and what your staff receives.
Intake captured on the call is returned as structured text your staff copies into the chart—not auto-populated, but formatted to save typing and reduce transcription error.
Patient gives information once to the AI during intake. Front desk receives it ready for verification and filing, eliminating the need to ask again at check-in.
Questionnaire answers, symptoms, and medical history arrive as a pasteable summary your clinician can review, edit, and file—not an automated chart entry that bypasses your review.
Patient name, DOB, phone, and appointment are written to the EMR. Intake summary is returned to staff for clinical review and filing.

No. Insurance details are captured on the call and returned as part of the intake summary. Your staff reviews and enters this into the chart or insurance module—it does not auto-sync to the patient record.
The AI returns intake as a structured text summary formatted for your workflow. Your staff may need to map or edit fields to match your EMR schema, but the data is organized and ready for that step.
The AI can ask the caller to verify identity details during the call. If you need to collect ID images, those are uploaded by the patient via the MedReception portal or provided at check-in; they are not synced to the EMR automatically.
Appointment bookings, patient name, DOB, and phone number sync to the EMR. Intake summary and clinical data are returned to your practice as structured text for your staff to review and file—not auto-populated into the chart.
If a caller doesn't provide an answer or the AI is uncertain, that field is flagged in the summary for your staff to follow up on before or at the appointment. This keeps your chart complete and accurate.
Yes. The AI can follow your intake script and ask follow-up questions based on caller responses. This allows for symptom triage, medication reconciliation, and specialty-specific intake without overloading the caller.
