Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know if a dermatology call is truly urgent?

The AI is trained to recognize keywords and patterns associated with dermatology emergencies—infection signs, severe allergic reactions, spreading rashes, trauma to skin, or pain levels. High-risk calls trigger immediate escalation protocols instead of standard scheduling workflows.

What happens if an urgent call comes in after hours when my clinic is closed?

The AI answers and captures the call, identifies urgency, and routes it to your on-call provider's personal number or emergency protocol. A structured summary is logged in the system for morning review.

Can the AI hand off to my dermatologist's personal cell or emergency line?

Yes. You set up routing rules so urgent calls can transfer directly to an on-call provider, emergency nurse line, or your answering service backup.

Does it integrate with our dermatology EMR?

MedReception integrates with major EMR systems including athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. Appointment bookings and new patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) write directly to your EMR. Call summaries—including chief complaint, symptom details, and severity indicators—are captured as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for your staff to review and file in the chart.

What information is captured during an emergency call?

Patient name, phone, chief complaint, symptom onset, affected area, any treatments tried, and severity indicators. This structured summary is returned for your staff to review and file in the chart.
