Concierge & DPC

Route member calls to the right provider or care team instantly—no hold time, no transferred twice, member stays connected

Concierge members pay for access and personalized care. When they call, reaching the wrong person or waiting on hold erodes that value. AI routing ensures calls connect members to their assigned provider or care coordinator immediately.

How it pays back

Members Feel Cared For

When a concierge member calls, they expect to reach 'their' doctor or a trusted team member—not a stranger or a phone tree. Smart routing delivers that experience. The member hears 'I have your chart here, I see you came in last week for...' instead of 'Who am I speaking to?' Trust and satisfaction increase, retention stays high.

Provider Gets Context Instantly

Your provider picks up knowing who's calling, why, and what their recent history is. No chart-hunting, no 'remind me about your condition'—the provider can focus on clinical decision-making and member relationship instead of administrative catch-up.

Urgent Issues Never Stall

Member calls with chest pain; AI flags it urgent and routes to on-call provider in seconds. No escalation delays, no queue waiting. Life-or-death situations get immediate attention. That responsiveness is what concierge members are paying for.

After-Hours Coverage Feels Seamless

Member calls at 9 p.m.; AI recognizes them, knows their assigned provider's on-call schedule, and connects them to the right person or answering service. No 'your doctor's not available, try tomorrow'—urgent issues are handled; routine issues are logged for morning callback.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which provider each member is assigned to?

MedReception integrates with your EHR to pull your practice structure: each member's assigned provider, backup providers, clinical staff, and on-call schedule. When a member calls, the AI looks up their record and routes accordingly. If your structure changes (new provider, member switches doctors), the EHR sync updates automatically.

What if the member's assigned provider is in a procedure?

The AI routes to the backup provider you've configured—often a PA, NP, or physician collaborator. That person has the member's full context and can handle routine or urgent issues. If it's something only the primary provider can address, the backup can take a message or schedule a callback within your service window.

Can a member request a specific provider on the call?

Yes. If the member says 'I need to talk to Dr. Smith,' the AI can route to that provider instead of their assigned one. Or if they say 'I have a question for the nurse,' the AI routes to your clinical staff. Member preference is honored, not rigid routing rules.

Does smart routing work for after-hours calls?

Yes. Your on-call schedule is in the system. When a member calls at 10 p.m., the AI knows which provider or nurse line is on-call and routes appropriately. For non-urgent calls, the AI logs them for morning callback. For urgent, the on-call provider is reached immediately.

What if a member has a simple question the front desk could answer?

The AI can be configured to ask clarifying questions: 'Is this a scheduling question, a clinical question, or a billing question?' Scheduling routes to front desk. Clinical routes to a nurse or provider. Billing routes to admin staff. Members get answered fast by the right person, not passed around.
