Concierge & DPC

Scale concierge member calls without hiring additional front desk staff

Concierge practices have small, focused teams. Adding a receptionist for call volume isn't scalable. MedReception's AI handles call answering, intake, and routing, so your existing team handles care coordination and member relationships instead of phones.

How it pays back

Your team stays lean and focused

You don't add headcount to handle call volume. Your small reception team focuses on high-touch member relationships, coordination with providers, and handling complex requests—not voicemail, scheduling, and repeat intake.

Front desk stops fielding routine calls during peak hours

Routine scheduling, appointment confirmations, and new patient intake happen on the AI. Staff handles exceptions and complex situations. This spreads workload throughout the day instead of clustering phone stress in the morning.

After-hours and weekend coverage no longer requires paying staff

The AI answers after-hours calls, triages urgency, and pages on-call providers. No need to pay a staff member to sit by the phone or answer voicemails on Sunday morning.

Staff retention improves because reception duties are reduced

Receptionists burn out on phone volume and repetition. With the AI handling intake and routing, staff focus on meaningful member interaction and feel less stressed.

Routine calls handled by AI

Scheduling, confirmation, intake—staff answer complex requests only

After-hours coverage active

No staff member on-call for voicemail; AI handles triage and escalation

New member intake completed

Call captures structured data for staff review, reducing desk data entry

Staff focus time recovered

Prior auth, coordination, and member relationships replace phone stress

Frequently asked questions

If the AI handles calls, do we still need a receptionist?

Yes. Your receptionist shifts from answering phones to handling exceptions, care coordination, prior auth, and member relationship management. The AI handles the volume so your receptionist can focus on high-value work.

Can we reduce our current reception staff with the AI?

That depends on your current call volume and staffing model. Some practices find they no longer need to hire additional staff; others find they can shift responsibilities or reduce part-time hours. We recommend a demo to model your specific scenario.

What if the AI can't handle a call—does it go back to staff?

Yes. The AI escalates complex requests or exceptions to your staff. Staff answer with full call context (member details, reason for calling, what the AI already tried). No re-explaining, faster resolution.

Does the AI reduce member experience or make patients feel like they're talking to a machine?

The AI is conversational and natural. Members experience recognition, personalization, and smooth routing. Staff handle relationship-building and clinical conversations, so members still connect with humans where it matters.

How is this different from an answering service?

An answering service takes messages and relays them later. MedReception's AI schedules appointments, identifies members, triages urgency, and escalates in real time. Members get routed to the right place immediately, not called back hours later.
