AI receptionist never rushes a caller, never puts them on hold, and has real-time access to your open slots. Callers book on the first call—no callback loops, no lost prospects.

How it pays back

Every caller who wants an appointment gets one—immediately

No 'call back and we'll confirm,' no hold time while staff check the schedule, no callback loops. Caller and AI both see your live schedule. Appointment booked in one call.

New patient data captured in one conversation

Name, date of birth, and phone collected during the call and written to your EMR. Staff verify and welcome the new patient—no re-entry, no data quality issues.

Insurance information captured for intake

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know your real-time appointment availability?

The AI integrates with your EMR or practice management system (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, ModMed). It pulls your live schedule in real time and knows exactly which slots are open, which providers are booked, and which appointment types fit each time.

What if a patient wants a time slot that's full?

The AI offers the next available alternatives in that provider's schedule. For example, if Monday 2 PM is full, it might say, 'I have Monday 3 PM or Tuesday 10 AM available—which works better for you?'

Does the patient have to provide insurance information on the call?

Optionally. The AI can collect it during the call or ask the patient to provide it at check-in. We recommend collecting it to avoid check-in delays, but your practice decides the workflow.

What happens if the appointment doesn't sync to the EMR?

Our sync is tested before launch and runs continuously. If a sync fails (rare), the appointment is logged in your MedReception account and your staff can verify it manually. Failsafes ensure no appointment is lost.

Can the AI book appointments after-hours or on weekends?

Yes. After-hours calls are answered by AI, and new patient appointments are booked into your next available slot. Your staff confirm in the morning. Existing patients can also reschedule after-hours—all booked and synced.
