Scheduling
Interventional pain practices manage multi-step, procedure-dependent scheduling. MedReception AI automates appointment booking, pre-procedure verification, imaging prerequisites, and facility resource coordination.
Pain procedures require specific facility setups, imaging rooms, and equipment. The AI checks availability across blocks, fluoroscopy bays, ultrasound, and OR time while verifying provider and anesthesia scheduling to prevent double-booking and delays.
Many pain procedures require prior imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray). The system verifies imaging completion before confirming the appointment and alerts patients if imaging is missing, reducing day-of cancellations.
Integrates with insurance verification systems to check authorization status before finalizing the appointment. Flags cases requiring pre-auth and escalates to billing staff, avoiding payment denials and procedure delays.
When cancellations occur, the system proactively offers available slots, updates facility schedules, notifies providers, and reschedules dependent appointments (follow-ups, imaging confirmation, physical therapy prep).
Real-time availability sync
Provider schedules, OR time, imaging rooms, anesthesia updated continuously
Imaging prerequisite verification
Prior imaging results checked; missing studies flagged and patient contacted
Insurance pre-auth checking
Authorization status verified before appointment confirmation
Facility resource conflict detection
Blocks, ablations, injections scheduled without overbooking rooms or providers
Automated patient prep reminders
NPO, medication holds, imaging orders, transportation sent at scheduled intervals
The system is configured with procedure-specific prerequisites (e.g., lumbar facet blocks require lumbar MRI within 6 months). Before confirming the appointment, it checks the EHR for imaging dates and flags missing or expired studies.
Yes. The AI can schedule diagnostic procedures, follow-up treatment visits, and post-procedure follow-ups as a coordinated series. It manages timing, imaging prerequisites, and preparation steps for each phase.
The system detects the missing authorization at scheduling time and escalates to billing staff with a notification. The appointment can be held conditionally pending pre-auth, or rescheduled once approval is confirmed.
Yes. If a provider or facility cancels, the AI automatically notifies affected patients, offers alternative appointment slots, reschedules dependent visits, and updates the provider and facility schedules.
Yes. The system works alongside major EMR platforms and uses real-time data feeds for provider availability, patient history, imaging records, and insurance status. Named integrations include athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed.
