Lexington, KY
Interventional pain practices in Lexington lose revenue every time a cancellation or no-show leaves a procedure chair unused. MedReception AI monitors your schedule, detects open slots instantly, and calls waitlisted patients to rebook, capturing the revenue and keeping your block time productive without manual intervention from your team.

Procedure slots are your highest-margin touchpoints. Every empty chair is lost revenue. AI backfill captures cancellations that would otherwise sit open, turning no-shows into rebooked appointments and keeping utilization high.
Patients on your waitlist get called with an immediate opening instead of waiting for a manual callback. They hear the exact slot available, can accept on the call, and see the appointment confirmed in their inbox within minutes. No follow-up voicemail tag or callback tag needed.
Backfill happens automatically. Your front desk and clinical staff don't stop procedure flow to make cancellation calls. AI handles the outreach, captures the accept or decline, and routes the result to your EMR. Your team reviews flagged patterns and adjusts scheduling rules, not individual calls.
You decide which waitlist to pull from, how far in advance to offer the slot, which patient segments to prioritize, and which cancellations trigger outreach. Your onboarding team configures the rules and optimizes them free, forever, and you keep your AI if you switch EMRs.

You build the waitlist rules during onboarding. Choose which procedure types feed the backfill, which patient segments to prioritize, and how far in advance to offer an open slot. The AI calls patients in the order you set. Your onboarding team configures this and updates it free, anytime.
The AI logs the decline, notes the reason if the patient shares one, and moves to the next patient on the list. Your staff sees a summary of all backfill attempts and outcomes, so you can spot patterns and adjust your waitlist strategy.
MedReception integrates with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, and Nextech. If you use a different EHR, Katie still answers every call, captures the backfill accept or decline, and sends a booking request to your staff to enter into your system. Custom integration available: want MedReception integrated with your EHR? We build custom EHR integrations; book a demo and we will scope yours.
MedReception is HIPAA compliant, verified by Compliancy Group, and signs a BAA. All patient data retrieved for backfill calls stays inside MedReception. The AI never stores or shares data outside the call; appointment confirmations and outcomes are logged and returned to your EMR only.
Launch takes about one week from signup. Your EMR connection and practice phone number are ready in one to three days. Once live, backfill rules are configured during your onboarding calls with the MedReception team. You set the rules; we optimize them free, forever.
