Patient intake, appointment scheduling, and recall automation for Mesa primary care clinics

MedReception handles incoming calls, new patient intake, appointment scheduling, and patient recall for Mesa-area family medicine and internal medicine practices. Works alongside eClinicalWorks, Athena, AdvancedMD, and other EMRs.

How it pays back

New Patients Book on First Contact

Instead of playing phone tag or waiting for staff callbacks, new patients get an appointment during their initial call — intake details are captured and ready for their visit.

Panel Growth Without Hiring Staff

Receptionists focus on clinical support and in-office tasks while the AI handles new patient scheduling and routine intake calls.

Preventive Care Recall Automated

The AI identifies overdue patients (annual physicals, vaccinations, screenings) and sends automated reminders — increasing appointment compliance and preventive care revenue.

Fewer No-Shows and Cancellations

Automated appointment confirmations and reminder calls reduce missed visits and allow staff to fill open slots quickly.

After-Hours Access Improves Patient Satisfaction

Patients can call evenings or weekends to book routine appointments — no more 'sorry, we're closed' messages.

Clean, Structured New Patient Records

Medical history, allergies, and medications are captured in the same call as the appointment and returned pre-formatted for your EMR.

Structured intake captured

Medical history, allergies, medications, and chief complaint recorded in one call

Automated recall triggered

Patients overdue for physicals, vaccinations, or screenings receive proactive reminders

Appointment scheduling

Appointments and new patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) write to your EHR automatically

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI capture new patient intake on the first call?

Yes. The AI asks for name, date of birth, insurance, medical history, allergies, current medications, and reason for visit. This is returned as a formatted summary your staff reviews and enters into the patient record.

How does patient recall work?

You configure recall rules in your EMR or MedReception settings (e.g., 'Call patients who haven't had a physical in 12 months'). The AI automatically calls or texts matching patients with a reminder message and option to book.

Do recall reminders count toward HIPAA compliance?

Yes. Recall calls are HIPAA-compliant — they are not unsolicited marketing. Patient consent for recall is presumed from their status as established patients or new patient inquiry.

What if a patient wants to talk to a clinician, not schedule?

If the call requires clinical advice, the patient can request to speak to a nurse or provider. The AI transfers the call and provides staff with the captured intake summary.

Does this work for same-day and next-available scheduling?

Yes. You can configure the AI to offer same-day urgent slots, next-available routine appointments, or specific appointment types (physical, follow-up, sick visit, etc.).
