Callback Management
Ophthalmology practices field urgent cases, routine follow-ups, and referral inquiries on the same line. MedReception captures every callback request with full patient context, routes by clinical urgency and provider, and hands your team a prioritized queue ready to action. Urgent cases escalate immediately; routine callbacks stay organized and on time.

Every patient who calls leaves a callback request with their name, phone, reason for contact, and clinical notes. Your team sees a prioritized queue each morning, organized by urgency and assigned provider. Nothing waits in a voicemail inbox; nothing gets forgotten.
Retinal emergencies, acute vision loss, post-op concerns, and other time-sensitive calls are flagged and escalated to on-call or urgent care staff according to the rules you set. Routine callbacks stay in the queue; urgent cases route around it.
New patient demographics are written to your EMR on intake. Existing patients are identified and flagged so your team knows their history before the callback. Medical history, allergies, medications, and symptoms are captured as a structured summary your staff reviews and files into the chart.
MedReception is custom-built per practice, not a plug-and-play tool. Your callback templates, urgency rules, provider routing, and escalation thresholds are configured to match your clinic's acuity mix and on-call protocols. Edits and optimization are free for life.

Callback data and new patients sync to your system
You set the rules. Tell us which keywords, chief complaints, or clinical scenarios trigger escalation (for example, acute vision loss, eye trauma, post-op infection concerns, or retinal detachment). The AI listens for those cues during the call and flags urgent cases for immediate routing to on-call staff or urgent care. Your clinicians always make the final clinical decision; the AI escalates and routes.
New patient demographics (name, date of birth, phone) are written to your EMR on intake. Existing patients are identified and flagged so your team sees their history. Medical history, symptoms, and clinical notes are captured as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary that your staff reviews and files into the patient record. Your team controls what gets documented and when.
MedReception answers every call instantly. If your front desk is busy or on another call, Katie (the AI) greets the patient, takes their callback request, and either routes them to your team immediately or logs the request for callback. Your team can see the queue and call back in priority order. No hold times, no missed calls.
Launch takes about one week from signup. Your EHR connection and phone number are ready in one to three days. Setting up your urgency rules, provider routing, and escalation thresholds happens during onboarding with our team; we handle the configuration so you don't have to. Edits are free and happen whenever your protocols change.
