Urology
Urology practices lose calls during peak times: lunch, provider transitions, or when staff are tied up with patients. MedReception AI answers immediately, qualifies each caller, and escalates urgent cases (post-op pain, retention, hematuria) to an available clinician or nurse. Routine callbacks are queued and handled in order when your team returns.

Urology practices field urgent and routine calls simultaneously. When your team is in surgery, at lunch, or between appointments, Katie answers every call. Callers hear a professional greeting and a callback commitment instead of a busy signal or voicemail dead end. Urgent cases are flagged and routed to whoever is available, so acute retention or post-op pain doesn't wait.
Katie captures the caller's name, date of birth, reason for the call, and urgency level during the intake. That information is returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary so your staff can review context before calling back. Your clinicians make the clinical decision; Katie routes and escalates based on the rules you set.
You define what urgent means for your practice: post-op pain, acute retention, hematuria, or a patient on anticoagulation. When a caller describes one of those situations, Katie escalates the call to an on-call provider or nurse right away. Routine callbacks are queued separately and handled in order when your team is back at their desks.
MedReception is custom-built per practice, not plug-and-play. We work with you to define what urgent means for urology, which callbacks go to the nurse line, which to the provider, and how your schedule drives callback timing. Your team gets white-glove onboarding and a real support team, plus free lifetime edits and optimization as your workflow evolves.

You tell us what urgent means for your practice during setup. Common urology urgencies include acute urinary retention, post-operative pain or bleeding, hematuria, or a patient on anticoagulation with symptoms. When a caller describes one of those situations, Katie escalates the call to an on-call provider or nurse based on your rules. Routine callbacks are queued separately.
The caller hears a professional greeting and a commitment to callback within a specific timeframe (you set the window). Katie captures their name, reason for the call, and preferred callback time. They're not on hold silence; they're being heard and qualified. If it's urgent, they're escalated to an available clinician or nurse right away.
Yes. You set up routing rules during onboarding. Urgent cases go to the on-call provider or nurse line. Routine callbacks are queued for the front desk or clinical staff. Katie follows your rules every time; she doesn't make clinical decisions. Your clinicians decide what to do with the call.
If you use athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Tebra, ModMed, or one of our other named integrations, Katie books appointments and creates new patients directly into your chart. For any EHR, Katie captures intake and returns a structured summary that your staff review and file. Custom integration available: want MedReception integrated with your EHR? We build custom EHR integrations; book a demo and we will scope yours.
Katie answers every call, 24/7. After hours, she takes a message, qualifies it, and escalates urgent cases to your on-call provider based on your rules. Routine messages are summarized and sent to your team for callback during business hours. You control the escalation rules and the on-call routing.
