Patient Intake
Paper forms sit in waiting rooms. Email forms get marked as spam. AI intake happens the moment your new patient calls. Compare workflows and see why high-volume practices are eliminating the form entirely.
The moment a new patient calls to book an appointment is when they're most motivated to answer questions. AI captures intake in that conversation. By contrast, paper forms sit in a waiting room, and email forms land in spam folders.
With paper, someone has to read handwriting, type it up, and call patients back for clarifications. AI does this in real time during the call, and your staff receives a complete, structured summary ready to review and file.
No time wasted at check-in asking 'Do you still take this medication?' or 'When was your last visit?' The AI summary is already available for your team to review.
Paper forms often have smudged or illegible insurance info. AI captures it directly from the patient and sends images of their card to your front desk for verification.

AI asks clarifying questions on the call
No. Intake documentation must be in the chart, but the method is up to you. A structured summary from an AI call is just as compliant as a paper form—and often more complete and legible.
They can. MedReception can send a pre-visit form link via text or email if a patient requests it. But for most new patient calls, intake happens naturally during the booking conversation.
The AI is trained to probe deeper—asking about surgeries, hospitalizations, medication changes. If a patient's history is genuinely complex, the AI flags it for your clinical staff to call before the appointment. Most straightforward cases are handled fully on the initial call.
Yes. The AI asks clarifying questions and will flag ambiguous responses for your staff to follow up on. It's programmed to recognize uncertainty and escalate.
Staff time saved depends on your volume and current process. If your front desk spends time per patient reading, transcribing, and chasing paper forms, AI intake eliminates that work. For high-volume practices, this compounds significantly.
