Overflow Coverage

Every pain consultation call answered, even during peak volume

Henderson interventional pain practices field high-volume consultation calls. When your team is at capacity, MedReception's AI answers every overflow call, captures insurance eligibility and prior authorization flags, and routes the patient to the right staff member or schedules a callback. No missed referrals, no dropped leads.

How it pays back

No More Consultation Calls Lost to Hold Times

When your front desk is busy with existing patients, overflow calls ring straight to Katie, MedReception's AI receptionist. She answers in seconds, captures the caller's pain history, imaging notes, and insurance details, and either books the next available consultation or routes the caller to a callback queue. Your team stays focused on the patient in the room; the lead is never abandoned.

Insurance and Prior Authorization Flagged Before Arrival

Katie asks about insurance coverage and prior authorization during the consultation call and logs any gaps or requirements in a structured summary. Your billing team reviews these flags before the appointment, so they can pre-work authorization or alert the patient to coverage limits. No surprises in the waiting room.

EMR-Ready Intake, No Manual Re-Entry

Consultation details and eligibility flags are captured on the call and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your billing team to review and file (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech). Your team sees the full intake summary and can book or callback without asking the patient to repeat themselves. If your EHR is not listed, custom integration is available: book a demo and we will scope yours.

Urgent Pain Flare-Ups Escalated Immediately

Your team sets routing rules: acute flare-ups and established patients with urgent needs are routed to an on-call provider or urgent callback queue. Routine new consultations are scheduled into available slots or queued for callback. The AI handles triage; your clinicians make the clinical call.

Frequently asked questions

How does MedReception handle overflow calls when my team is with patients?

Katie answers every overflow call in seconds. She captures the caller's pain history, imaging notes, insurance details, and reason for consultation. Depending on your routing rules, she either books the next available consultation slot, routes an urgent case to on-call, or queues the caller for a callback. Your team is never interrupted; the lead is never lost.

Can Katie ask about insurance and prior authorization during the call?

Yes. Katie asks about insurance coverage, group number, and any known prior authorization requirements. She logs these details in a structured summary that your billing team reviews before the appointment. If there are gaps or barriers, your team can pre-work authorization or alert the patient to coverage limits before they arrive.

Does the intake information go into my EMR?

Consultation details and eligibility flags are captured on the call and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your team to review and file if you use athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, or Nextech. Your team sees the full intake summary and can book or callback without re-asking. Custom integration is available for other EHRs: book a demo and we will scope yours.

How are urgent pain flare-ups handled?

You set the routing rules. Acute flare-ups and established patients with urgent needs are routed to an on-call provider or urgent callback queue. Routine new consultations are scheduled into available slots or queued for callback. Katie handles triage; your clinicians make the clinical decision.

How long does it take to launch?
