Interventional Pain

Every pain patient call answered and booked, day and night

Riverside interventional pain practices field constant calls: new consultations, procedure follow-ups, medication refill requests, and urgent flare-ups. MedReception's AI receptionist answers every call instantly, captures the reason for contact, and books appointments or routes urgent cases to your team. No missed leads, no voicemail delays, no staff overwhelmed by the phone.

How it pays back

Capture Every Appointment Opportunity

Pain practices in Riverside see appointment requests arrive by phone, text, and voicemail at all hours. Missed calls mean lost procedure revenue and frustrated patients who book elsewhere. MedReception answers instantly, qualifies the caller, and books the appointment before the call ends. Your staff reviews the booking and intake summary, and it syncs to your EMR. No double-entry, no scheduling gaps.

Route Urgent Cases Without Delay

Acute flare-ups, breakthrough pain, and emergency refill requests need immediate escalation. The AI recognizes urgency flags you define, routes the call to your clinical team right away, and documents the handoff. Routine appointments are booked; emergencies reach a human instantly.

Structured Intake Ready for Your Chart

Every call captures pain location, prior imaging, current medications, allergies, and reason for visit as a structured summary your staff reviews and files. No incomplete intake forms, no missing history, no delays starting the consultation. The AI does not write clinical details to the chart; your clinician reviews and approves all clinical information before documentation.

Compliance Built In

Controlled substance refill requests are flagged for clinician review. All calls are logged with timestamps, caller identity, and reason for contact. MedReception is HIPAA compliant (verified by Compliancy Group) and signs a BAA, so your audit trail meets DEA and state pharmacy board standards.

EMR-Independent and Portable

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 switch systems, your AI receptionist moves with you. No rebooking, no new setup, no lost history. Your appointment workflow stays intact.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI book appointments directly into our EMR?

Yes. When a patient calls to book an appointment, the AI captures their name, date of birth, phone number, and reason for visit, then books the appointment into your EMR. Your staff reviews the booking and intake summary, and the appointment is confirmed. If you use athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Tebra, SimplePractice, or another integrated EMR, the appointment appears in your schedule within seconds.

How does the AI handle urgent pain flare-ups or emergency calls?

You set the escalation rules. If a caller reports acute pain, loss of function, or other urgent symptoms you define, the AI routes the call to your clinical team immediately and flags it in the system. Routine appointments are booked; emergencies are never delayed by the phone system.

What happens with controlled substance refill requests?

The AI captures the medication name, dosing, last fill date, reason for refill, and whether the patient is seeing other providers as a structured summary. The call is flagged for clinician review and authorization before any refill is processed. All details are logged for DEA compliance and chart documentation.

How long does it take to launch MedReception in our Riverside practice?

Launch takes about one week from signup. Your EMR connection and phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering your number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Your AI receptionist begins answering calls as soon as the phone number is live.

What if we use an EMR that is not on your integration list?

Katie, the AI receptionist, still answers every call, handles intake, and captures appointment details. Your staff enters the booking into your EMR manually. Custom integration is available: if you want MedReception integrated with your EHR, book a demo and we will scope the build.
