Call Routing & Triage
Not all calls are the same. MedReception's AI routes each call intelligently—detecting urgency, identifying caller type, and sending them to the right destination. No call is lost; every caller gets appropriate care routing.
The right person gets the call immediately with full context. No transferring between departments or re-explaining the issue. Callers feel heard and routed efficiently.
Your team isn't overwhelmed by a mix of urgent emergencies, billing questions, and appointment requests all at once. The AI pre-sorts and prioritizes.
True emergencies bypass the queue and go straight to an available clinician with full clinical detail. Routine calls queue properly and are answered in order.
The AI identifies whether a caller is a new patient, existing patient, or referral. New patients are routed to intake and scheduling; existing patients to their provider or nurse line.

The AI listens for clinical keywords and triage indicators: chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe pain, bleeding, allergic reactions, medication emergencies, falls, and similar urgent flags. Your practice trains the system on what constitutes urgent based on your specialty. Urgent calls skip the queue and go to an available clinician immediately.
Yes. The AI can route based on provider name mentioned by the caller, appointment history, or practice routing rules. If a patient asks for Dr. Smith and they're available, the call routes there. If not, it queues or offers callback scheduling.
Callers are offered callback scheduling. Their call details and intent are stored in your system. They receive a callback within a timeframe you set—typically the same day. Urgent calls interrupt the queue for immediate pickup or escalation to on-call.
The AI recognizes billing, insurance, and payment inquiries and can route them to your billing department or provide simple information (payment methods, contact for billing). Complex insurance verification is routed to your billing staff with captured details.
Yes. New patients are identified, their information is captured, and the AI offers available appointment times. The new patient record (name, DOB, phone) and appointment sync directly to your EMR. Your staff receives the structured intake summary for review and chart entry.
