AI captures insurance and prior auth questions — structured summaries for your staff to action

Interventional pain patients call about prior authorization, medication refills, and insurance coverage. MedReception captures these calls, records patient concerns and insurance details, and returns a structured summary your staff reviews and processes.

How it pays back

Prior Auth Questions Answered Immediately

When a patient calls about insurance coverage for an upcoming injection or nerve block, the AI captures their insurance info, procedure details, and the authorization question. Your staff processes it with full context, not via callback.

Medication Refill Requests Logged Automatically

Pain patients on opioid or non-opioid management call for refills. The AI captures drug name, dosage, pharmacy, and last fill date — your clinical team acts on it without a second call.

Insurance Verification Happens on the Call

The AI asks about insurance carrier, member ID, and deductible status. Routine questions ('Is my deductible met?', 'What's my copay?') are answered from plan data or flagged for your billing team.

Staff Time Freed for Complex Cases

Your team no longer makes return calls to clarify insurance or refill details — all context is in the structured summary.

Insurance details captured on first call

Carrier, member ID, group number, and prior auth request documented automatically

Medication refill requests logged

Drug name, dosage, pharmacy, and last fill date captured for your clinical team

Structured summaries for staff review

No callback needed; prior auth and refill details ready for action in your inbox

Linked to patient chart

Call context visible alongside your EMR so clinicians understand the insurance or medication question

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI answer insurance questions directly?

The AI can answer routine questions like 'What's my copay?' or 'Is my deductible met?' if that information is in your system or if your insurance vendor provides real-time verification. For complex or plan-specific questions, the AI captures the question and hands it to your staff.

How does prior authorization get submitted?

The AI captures the prior auth request and procedure details on the call. Your clinical or administrative staff review the structured summary and submit the prior auth through your EMR or insurance portal.

Does it handle medication refill requests from pharmacies?

The AI is designed for patient-initiated calls. Pharmacy refill requests are typically routed to your clinical staff directly. However, if a patient calls to request a refill, the AI captures it and logs it for your clinician to approve or deny.

What information is captured in the structured summary?

Insurance carrier name, member ID, group number, prior auth request details (procedure name, date, reason), medication refill details (drug, dosage, pharmacy), and any insurance questions the patient asked.

Can the AI sync this to my EMR?

Appointment bookings and patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) sync to your EMR automatically. Prior auth and refill call summaries are returned as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries available in your MedReception portal for your team to review and file in the patient record.
