Frequently asked questions

How does AI answering work for dermatology?

The AI receives inbound calls, greets callers professionally, asks qualification questions (skin concern, urgency, appointment availability), and offers confirmed appointment times from your schedule. For urgent issues (post-procedure problems, severe reactions), calls are escalated to your staff. Routine calls are booked with appointment details synced to your EMR. Patient name, DOB, phone, and appointment time are captured and synced; chief concern, allergies, and history are returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file in the chart.

Can the AI handle cosmetic and medical derm calls differently?

Yes. You can customize call flows so cosmetic consults follow one path (e.g., procedure interest, skin goals) and medical concerns (acne, eczema, psoriasis, moles) follow another. The AI identifies the call type and routes appropriately—urgent medical flags go to staff; routine cosmetic books into open slots.

What happens with insurance and payment questions?

The AI captures insurance information, patient name, date of birth, and phone number on the call. This data returns as a structured summary for your staff to review and file in the EMR and billing system. Your staff handles insurance verification and payment processing in your normal workflows.

Does the AI write clinical notes to the chart?

No. The AI captures chief concern, allergies, medications, skin type, and appointment history on the call and returns it as a structured summary. Your staff reviews and files this into the patient chart according to your clinical workflows. This protects chart integrity and compliance.

What EMR systems integrate with MedReception AI?

We support named integrations including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. Appointment bookings, new patient creation, and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) sync automatically. Check our integration guide or contact us to confirm your system.

Can the AI handle after-hours and emergency calls?

Yes. After hours, the AI answers and follows custom routing rules—urgent calls can be escalated to on-call providers or staff, routine calls can be documented for morning triage. This reduces missed emergency access and improves patient safety perception.

How does this work for multi-location dermatology groups?

The AI can route calls to the correct location based on patient zip code, preferred provider, or caller input. Each location's schedule is maintained separately in your EMR, so bookings always go to the right office. Centralized call handling, distributed appointments.
