How it pays back

Streamlined Call-to-Chart Journey

From first AI greeting to appointment booking to new patient record in Tebra—appointment and demographic data sync automatically, with staff review gates ensuring clinical accuracy on intake summaries.

Reduced Administrative Burden

Staff no longer transcribe calls, re-enter patient data, or manually create new patient records. They focus on clinical review and patient communication.

Maintained Clinical Oversight

Medical history, medications, and chief complaint are returned as structured summaries that staff review and approve before filing into the EHR, preserving clinical governance.

After-Hours Appointment Capture

AI books appointments 24/7 even after your staff leaves for the day. New patient records and pending intake summaries await your team the next morning.

Frequently asked questions

What should my staff do with the structured intake summary returned by the AI?

Your staff reviews the summary for completeness and accuracy, then pastes or imports it into the appropriate fields in the Tebra patient chart or EMR template. This ensures clinical data is captured and available for the provider before the appointment.

How do I set up custom intake questions in the AI to match my Tebra templates?

During onboarding, MedReception team works with you to map your Tebra intake forms and questionnaires to the AI intake flow. Custom questions for specialty-specific workflows (urology, orthopedics, etc.) are fully supported.

What happens if a caller wants to speak to a staff member instead of completing booking with the AI?

The AI recognizes the request and routes the call to an available staff member or voicemail if no one is available. All captured information is passed to the staff member, who can complete the booking or intake manually.

Can the AI detect urgent calls and escalate them appropriately?

Yes. The AI can be configured to identify keywords indicating urgency (chest pain, severe bleeding, difficulty breathing) and immediately route these calls to a staff member or emergency number based on your practice protocol.

How do I track no-shows or appointment changes when they're booked by the AI?

All AI-booked appointments appear in your Tebra calendar with full patient records. Tebra's built-in reminder, confirmation, and cancellation workflows apply to all appointments regardless of booking source—AI or staff.
