API access, appointment-type mapping and availability rules — the Tebra side of the integration

The technical half of a local Tebra implementation. Which credentials the team needs, how your appointment types get mapped, where availability rules come from, and what is asked of whoever administers Tebra for you.

Tebra API authentication and credentials are configured by the implementation team with your administrator's authorisation
Your appointment types are mapped one at a time to what the AI is permitted to book
Availability rules are captured from how your schedule really works, not inferred from the calendar view
Call flows are designed around those mappings, so an offered time corresponds to a bookable slot
Appointments and patient demographics (name, date of birth, phone) write to Tebra; call summaries and clinical detail return as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for staff to review and file
Testing runs before go-live, and the same team stays engaged for optimisation afterwards

How it pays back

Your Tebra administrator spends decisions, not hours

The implementation team handles API configuration, appointment-type mapping, availability rules and call flow design. What your administrator supplies is authorisation and answers about how your schedule is meant to behave.

Appointment-type mapping is where booking quality is decided

Most booking mistakes trace back to a type mapped loosely. Working through your types individually during setup is unglamorous and is the step that determines whether the schedule looks right in month three.

The write boundary is explicit from day one

Appointments and demographics are written to Tebra. Call summaries and clinical detail come back as structured summaries for your staff to review and file, so there is no ambiguity about what entered the chart unreviewed.

The same team handles setup and later changes

After go-live you keep a dedicated account manager and regional support team to optimise workflows and adapt the configuration as the practice grows, rather than restarting with whoever answers next time.

Frequently asked questions

What does the implementation team need from our Tebra administrator?

Authorisation for API access and credential setup, plus answers about how your schedule is meant to work: which appointment types exist, which are bookable by phone, and what your availability rules really are. The team performs the configuration itself.

What is appointment-type mapping, and why does it take the longest?

It is the exercise of tying each of your Tebra appointment types to what the AI may offer and book. It takes time because practices often discover their own types have drifted, with near-duplicates and categories nobody uses any more.

Where do the availability rules come from?

From your practice, captured during setup. Your local team maps availability rules and designs call flows around them, which is how the system avoids offering slots your schedule technically shows but your practice does not actually use.

What writes into Tebra, and what stops short of it?

Appointments and patient demographics — name, date of birth, phone — are written to Tebra. Call summaries and clinical details are captured as structured, pasteable summaries for your staff to review and file.

Is the local setup work charged separately?

No. Local implementation and onboarding are included in your MedReception package. All-in pricing covers setup, training and ongoing account management whether you choose in-person or remote support.

Do local teams work with EHRs other than Tebra?

Yes. Regional implementation teams are trained on major platforms including Tebra, eClinicalWorks and others. If your practice runs a less common EHR, your team can discuss custom integration options.
