Multi-Site Operations

Route inbound MedReception AI calls across multiple practice locations to the right office

If your practice has multiple offices sharing a MedReception AI phone number or account, the AI receptionist asks which location the caller prefers and routes them accordingly—booking appointments and creating patient records at the correct site.

How it pays back

One Phone Number, Multiple Locations, Zero Transfer Fumbles

Callers dial your main MedReception AI number and specify which location they want. The AI routes to the correct calendar, avoiding the confusion of 'which office is this?' or transfers that drop the call. Callers stay on the line and book at the right place.

Patient Records Housed Where They Belong

New patient demographic data and appointment bookings are written to the correct location's EMR instance or practice account. No accidental cross-filing, no staff confusion about which database a patient is in.

Local Staff See Only Their Location's Calls

Each office gets its own call log and booking queue filtered by location. Downtown staff don't see satellite clinic calls; uptown admin doesn't manage another location's schedule. Full isolation and clarity.

Overbooked Location? Offer Another Site

If a caller's preferred location has no availability, the AI can proactively suggest alternative times at other practice sites. Some callers accept; others prefer to wait. You control the option and messaging.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which location to route the call to?

The AI asks the caller which location they prefer ('Would you like our downtown or uptown office?') and routes based on the answer. You can also use caller history or phone number area code to pre-guess the location.

What if a patient doesn't know which location they want?

The AI can describe each location (addresses, specialties, hours) and ask the caller to choose, or can offer to book the nearest or most convenient site based on availability and distance.

Does the booking go to the right EMR instance?

Yes. When you set up multi-location routing, you link each MedReception AI line or extension to the correct EMR instance or practice account. Bookings and new patient demographics are written to the designated location's database.

Can I set different hours or on-call rules per location?

Yes. Each location can have its own schedule, on-call provider routing, and after-hours rules. If downtown closes at 5pm and uptown is open until 7pm, the AI reflects that and routes accordingly.

What if one location is very busy and the other is quiet?

You can configure the AI to proactively mention availability at alternative sites if the caller's preferred location is fully booked. Some callers will accept a time at another office; others will wait for their first choice.

Do staff at each location see cross-location calls?

No. Each office has its own call log and booking queue filtered by location. Staff see only calls and appointments for their site. This keeps workflows simple and reduces confusion.
