Plano, TX

Route refill requests to the right clinician, capture the full medication history, and log every request, no messages lost after hours.

Prescription refill calls arrive outside office hours or during peak scheduling times. MedReception captures the patient's name, medication, quantity, pharmacy details, and reason for refill, then routes the message to your clinician or staff queue based on urgency and provider assignment. Every refill request is logged and structured for your EMR, so nothing slips through and your team has context before they call back.

How it pays back

No More Refill Voicemails Lost After Hours

After-hours refill calls are answered immediately by AI, not voicemail. Patient details are captured and routed to your on-call provider or morning staff queue so refills are actioned the same day or first thing in the morning.

Structured Refill Records for Compliance and EMR Filing

Every refill request is logged with medication details, patient contact, pharmacy info, and urgency flag. Your staff receives a structured summary they can review, approve, and file into the patient chart without re-asking for information.

Urgent Refills Escalate; Routine Refills Queue

You set the rules. Patients reporting pain flare, medication running out, or other urgent flags are routed to your on-call clinician. Routine refills go to staff for next-business-day processing. No clinician is interrupted by low-urgency calls.

Custom-Built Workflow, Not a Template

MedReception is built per practice. Your refill routing rules, urgency criteria, and escalation thresholds are configured to match your protocols, not forced into a generic template. Your team gets lifetime free edits and optimization as your practice evolves.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a patient calls to refill a controlled substance?

MedReception captures the refill request and patient details, then routes the call to your clinician or staff based on the urgency rules you set. The AI does not make clinical decisions or approve refills; your clinician reviews the request and decides whether to fill, modify, or deny it. All details are logged for your records.

Can MedReception send refill requests directly to my pharmacy?

No. MedReception captures the refill request and routes it to your team. Your clinician or staff approves the refill and contacts the pharmacy directly, or you can use your EMR's pharmacy integration. This keeps your clinician in control of every decision.

How does MedReception know if a refill is urgent?

You define the urgency rules during setup. For example, you might flag a refill as urgent if the patient reports a pain flare, says their medication is running out today, or calls from an ER. MedReception asks the questions you specify and routes based on the patient's answers and your escalation rules. Your clinician always makes the final call.

Does this work with my EHR?

MedReception integrates with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, and Nextech.

Yes. MedReception is HIPAA compliant, verified by Compliancy Group, and signs a BAA with every practice. Refill calls are handled inside MedReception's secure infrastructure. All patient data is encrypted and access is logged.
