How it pays back

Capture Every Referral, Every Language

Spanish-speaking referral coordinators and patients reach a live AI instantly. Katie gathers referring provider info, patient demographics, chief complaint, and urgency on the first call. No translation delay, no message-taking, no lost details. The structured summary is ready for your team to review and book.

Book Appointments Before Staff Picks Up the Phone

Katie confirms availability, books the slot, and sends an appointment confirmation text with prep instructions. Your staff never needs to callback to confirm. Open slots fill faster, and your schedule stays full without your team managing the intake queue.

EMR-Independent, Portable Bilingual Intake

MedReception is custom-built per practice and stays with you if you switch EMRs. Your bilingual intake workflow, call routing rules, and appointment templates move with you. No vendor lock-in, no re-training when you migrate.

Frequently asked questions

Does Katie handle Spanish-speaking referral calls the same way as English calls?

Yes. Katie answers in the language the caller uses. She captures the same intake details, referring provider, patient demographics, chief complaint, insurance, urgency, and books the appointment into your schedule. The summary is structured for your EMR, and the confirmation text goes out, in Spanish for Spanish-speaking patients when switched on per practice.

What happens if a caller switches between Spanish and English?

A bilingual line answers in English and Spanish, and callers who speak Spanish get Spanish. Switching back and forth mid-call is not something we promise; anything unclear reaches your team in the call summary.

Can we set up different routing rules for urgent pain calls versus routine referrals?

Yes. You define the urgency flags that trigger immediate escalation to your team (e.g., acute radiculopathy, post-procedure complications). Routine referrals queue for staff review. Katie routes by the rules you set, not by her own clinical judgment.

How does the appointment booking work if we use a non-integrated EMR?

Katie still answers every call and handles intake in both languages. Your staff enter the booking into your EMR, and Katie sends the confirmation text. Custom integration available: want MedReception integrated with your EHR? We build custom EHR integrations; book a demo and we will scope yours.

Is MedReception HIPAA compliant for bilingual patient intake?

Yes. MedReception is HIPAA compliant, verified by Compliancy Group, and includes a BAA. All bilingual calls, intake summaries, and patient details are handled inside MedReception's secure infrastructure. Voicemail and call recordings are also HIPAA compliant.
