Workflow

Functional Medicine Intake Calls Captured and Documented Automatically

Complex patient intake in functional medicine requires time, attention, and accurate documentation. AI receptionist handles the entire intake call and returns structured data your team can review and file into the patient record.

How it pays back

Detailed history, no shortcuts

Functional medicine intake is thorough and nuanced. The AI receptionist collects information systematically without cutting corners. Your clinicians receive a complete picture before the first appointment.

Staff spends less time on intake documentation

Intake data is captured and structured on the call. Staff review the summary and file it once, rather than transcribing notes or asking follow-up questions.

Patient feels heard and prepared

Patients call and speak to a real voice (AI receptionist) that listens, asks thoughtful questions, and confirms their appointment. They arrive at the visit knowing their history was documented.

Intake summary ready for clinical workflow

The structured summary is returned to staff as a document ready for review and filing into the patient chart. No re-entry, no lost context, no delay.

Frequently asked questions

What information does the AI capture during functional medicine intake?

The AI asks about chief complaint, medical history, current medications and supplements, allergies, lifestyle factors (diet, exercise, sleep, stress), family history, and reason for visit. It captures this conversationally and returns a structured summary.

How long does a typical intake call take?

Intake calls vary based on patient complexity and history. The AI captures information at the pace of conversation without rushing, similar to a human intake call.

What happens to the intake data after the call?

The intake data is returned as a structured summary that your staff reviews and files. Medical history, allergies, medications, symptoms, and questionnaire responses are captured on the call and returned as a pasteable summary for staff to review and file into the patient record. Appointment details and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) are synced directly to your EMR.

How do you handle insurance and ID verification?

Insurance information and photo ID/driver's license are collected on the call or uploaded by the patient through the MedReception portal. These are handed to your staff in a secure portal for review and filing, not written directly to the EMR.

What if the patient has a follow-up question before the appointment?

Patients can call back and reach the AI receptionist, or your staff can respond if they prefer. The AI captures any new information and updates the intake summary.

Can I customize the intake questions for my practice?

Yes. MedReception is custom-built per practice and configured by specialty. Your intake questions and workflow are tailored to your functional medicine model, and you get free lifetime edits and optimization.
