Compliance

Secure intake call recording, structured summaries, and compliance-ready logs—no unencrypted forms or email drafts

AI intake calls are recorded, transcribed, and timestamped. All patient data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with audit logs showing who accessed the intake summary and when. HIPAA-compliant by design.

How it pays back

No Risk of Unsecured Patient Data in Email

Intake summaries are never emailed. Staff access them via a secure, HIPAA-encrypted portal. Even if email is hacked, patient data is not compromised. Reduces breach risk.

Complete Call Record for Patient Rights Requests

A patient asks for their medical record. You can provide the intake call recording, transcript, and summary—proving exactly what was captured and when. Full traceability supports patient transparency and regulatory compliance.

Breach Investigation and Mitigation

If there's a compliance concern, the audit log shows precisely which staff member accessed the intake data, when, and from where. Quickly identify if data was accessed inappropriately or if a system vulnerability exists.

Frequently asked questions

Is the AI intake call recording covered by my office's privacy policy?

Yes. When the AI begins the call, it informs the caller that the conversation is being recorded for quality and compliance purposes. This complies with one-party consent laws in most US states. Your practice should include AI call recording in your privacy notice and consent forms. MedReception provides language templates.

How long are intake call recordings retained?

By default, recordings are retained for 1 year. You can configure a shorter or longer retention period based on your compliance requirements. After the retention period expires, recordings are automatically deleted. Manual deletion is available on request.

Can my staff listen to or download intake call recordings?

Staff can listen to recordings within the secure MedReception portal. Download options can be restricted to specific roles (chart manager, compliance officer). All access is logged. Your practice sets granular permission levels for who can access, listen to, or delete recordings.

What if a patient asks me to delete their intake call recording?

You can request deletion from MedReception immediately. However, if the patient data has already been entered into your EMR chart, the chart record remains (per typical EMR retention policy). The intake call recording is separate and can be deleted independently of the chart.

Do intake summaries sent to staff count as PHI transmission over unsecured networks?

No. Intake summaries are not sent via email or text. They are accessed via a secure, HIPAA-encrypted web portal. Staff log in with multi-factor authentication, and the summary is delivered over an encrypted connection. All access is logged for audit trail purposes.
