Patient Intake

The workflow: patient calls, AI gathers intake, staff reviews summary, data lands in your EMR

See exactly how AI intake works from the patient's first call through to the moment your staff files the information in the chart—no manual transcription, no missing fields.

How it pays back

Staff review replaces data entry

Instead of typing up voice notes, your team reviews a structured summary and files it. The AI has already organized everything; staff just validate and click save.

Chart is complete before the first appointment

Clinical staff can prepare for the visit with full medical history, allergy list, and current medications already reviewed and in place. No scrambling at check-in.

Clinicians stay in control of what's documented

Your staff—not the AI—decides what goes in the official medical record. AI creates the summary; clinicians validate and file it. This maintains clinical oversight and compliance.

Insurance eligibility checked before the visit

With patient details and insurance captured during the call, your team verifies coverage immediately. No surprises at billing time.

Frequently asked questions

Who writes the clinical data into my EMR—the AI or my staff?

Your staff. The AI returns a structured summary of what was captured on the call. Your clinical staff reviews it, verifies accuracy, and files it in the patient's chart. This ensures a clinician confirms the information before it becomes part of the official medical record.

What if the AI misheard or misunderstood something?

The AI flags ambiguous responses and returns them as questions for your staff. When staff review the summary, they can see what needs clarification and either fill it in or call the patient before the appointment.

How long does it take your staff to review and file the summary?

Typically 30 seconds to a minute. The summary is already organized and ready to paste into your EMR. Your team just confirms accuracy and saves it.

Does the summary fit into all EMR formats?

MedReception integrates with major platforms including AdvancedMD, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Tebra, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, and ModMed. The summary is formatted to match your EMR's intake section. If you use a less common system, the summary can be copied and pasted into any free-text field.

What about HIPAA compliance when the summary is shared with staff?

Summaries are transmitted to your staff only—not stored elsewhere or shared outside your organization. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Staff access is logged and auditable.

Can staff customize what fields appear in the summary?

Yes. You can configure which questions the AI asks and how the summary is organized to match your intake protocol and EMR structure.
