New Interventional Pain Patients Pre-Screened on Call—Insurance, Medications, Allergies Captured for Review

New pain patients call unprepared. MedReception captures pre-op screening, insurance, medications, and allergies during intake and returns a structured summary your staff reviews and files into the EMR chart.

How it pays back

No Back-and-Forth Pre-Op Calls

Medical history, allergies, medications, and imaging status are gathered once on the first call. Patients don't get re-contacted the day before with the same questions. Staff has everything needed for check-in prep.

EMR Patient Records Are Pre-Built

Name, date of birth, phone, and insurance contact details are created in your EMR. Your staff confirms insurance benefits and files the pre-op summary into the chart. One task, not three.

Screening Summaries Save Staff Time

Your clinical staff doesn't interview the patient again—they review and file the AI's summary. This frees nurses to focus on pre-procedure clearance, imaging review, and patient education.

Red Flags Caught Early

Bleeding history, anticoagulants, recent imaging findings, and implants are captured on the call. If any contraindicate the procedure, your staff flags it before the patient arrives—preventing wasted visits and liability.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI ask every question, or can we customize the pre-op screening?

You define your pre-op screening checklist with your clinical team. The AI asks those specific questions—allergies, bleeding history, anticoagulants, implants, imaging, consent—in a natural conversation. You control the scope.

What about patients who don't know their medication names?

The AI asks about medication effects (blood thinning, pain relief, mood) and frequency. If the patient is unsure, your staff follows up with a list of common medications or calls the patient's pharmacy. The AI's summary flags incomplete details for staff action.

Is the pre-op summary automatically filed into the EMR chart?

No. The AI returns a structured summary that your clinical staff reviews for accuracy and files into the chart. This maintains your clinical governance—your staff verifies medical information before it becomes part of the permanent record.

Can the AI check for drug interactions or contraindications?

The AI captures medication and allergy information and flags potential concerns in the summary for your staff to review. Your clinical team performs final clinical judgment—the AI gathers data and alerts, not diagnoses.

What if a patient doesn't answer the phone during intake?

The AI leaves a callback message with your practice name and a link to your patient portal (if applicable). Your staff can reach out the next business day, or the patient can schedule a callback. Intake is never lost.
