Workflow
Pain patients don't schedule emergencies around office hours. MedReception replaces voicemail after 5pm, on weekends, and holidays—triaging urgent complaints and reaching your on-call provider within seconds.
Instead of answering a call with 'Hello?' the on-call physician receives a structured summary: 'New pain in lower back, onset 6 hours ago, radiating to left leg, patient on ibuprofen only, no prior injections.' They can triage directly or ask the AI to advise the caller to seek emergency care.
A pain patient calling at 11pm hears a professional voice, not a generic voicemail. They explain their symptoms, receive acknowledgment, and either get an urgent callback within minutes or clear direction to seek appropriate care.
Urgent pain calls that reach your on-call team early can sometimes be managed with same-night guidance or urgent next-day booking, reducing unnecessary ER visits or emergency room waits.
Every after-hours call is recorded, timestamped, and accessible for audit. HIPAA-compliant storage meets regulatory requirements and protects the practice.

Your on-call schedule syncs to MedReception. You update it weekly or monthly in your dashboard, and the AI routes calls to the active provider automatically. No manual forwarding needed.
The AI asks about red-flag symptoms (sudden severe pain, loss of function, chest pain). If concerning, it advises the caller to call 911 or go to the ER immediately, and logs the interaction for your records.
The AI can note the complaint and offer to book the first available urgent slot the next morning, or escalate to on-call for same-night guidance. Your staff reviews the call notes and confirms the appointment when they arrive.
Call summaries are captured and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your staff to review and file in the patient chart if clinically relevant. Recording and transcripts are retained per your compliance and retention policy.
The AI attempts to reach the provider up to 3 times over 2 minutes, then offers to take a detailed message for urgent callback or advises the caller to go to the ER if the pain is severe.
