Dermatology

Capture every referral call with structured intake, route by urgency, and book appointments to your EMR.

Dermatology referrals come in fast and often carry urgency. MedReception's AI answers every referral call, captures referring provider details and clinical context, qualifies severity, and routes to the right dermatologist or clinic coordinator. Intake summaries are EMR-pasteable, and new appointments write directly to your schedule.

How it pays back

Referral Intake Built for Dermatology

Your AI captures what matters: referring provider name and contact, clinical diagnosis or concern, whether the patient is established or new, insurance if provided, and any urgency flags (e.g., suspected skin cancer, post-surgical concern). The summary is structured and ready to paste into the chart, so your clinical staff spend seconds reviewing, not minutes re-keying.

Route by Urgency, Not Just Availability

You set the rules. Suspected melanoma, infected wounds, or severe reactions go to the on-call provider or urgent slot. Cosmetic referrals or follow-ups queue for the next open appointment. The AI follows your logic; urgent cases escalate without delay.

One EMR, No Duplicate Entry

Appointments created on the call write directly to your schedule. Patient demographics write to your EMR. The structured referral summary, referring provider, clinical reason, urgency flags, is captured and returned for your staff to review and file into the chart. MedReception is custom-built per practice and includes FREE LIFETIME edits and optimization as your referral patterns change.

Frequently asked questions

What information does the AI capture on a referral call?

Referring provider name, practice, and callback number; patient name, DOB, and phone; clinical reason for referral; urgency flags you define; insurance if provided; and whether the patient is new or established. The summary is structured and ready for your staff to review and file into the chart.

How does the AI know which calls are urgent?

You set the rules during onboarding. For example, calls mentioning 'melanoma', 'suspicious lesion', 'infected', or 'emergency' trigger escalation to your on-call dermatologist. Routine referrals book into the next available slot. The AI follows your logic on every call.

Does the referral information write to our EMR automatically?

Appointments and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) write directly to your EMR (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Tebra, ModMed, Jane, SimplePractice, and 7+ others). The structured referral summary, referring provider, clinical reason, urgency flags, is captured and returned for your staff to review and file into the chart.

What if we use an EMR that MedReception doesn't integrate with today?

Katie, our AI, still answers every referral call, captures full intake, and handles booking requests. Your staff enter appointments into your EMR. Custom integration available: want MedReception integrated with your EHR? We build custom EHR integrations; book a demo and we will scope yours.

Can the AI handle referrals in languages other than English?

Yes. The AI answers in 59 languages, including Spanish and French, and books appointments end to end in English, Spanish and Korean. In the other languages it understands and answers the caller, and the referral reaches your team as a call summary.
