MedReception's AI receptionist answers every call 24/7, triages by urgency, escalates true emergencies to your on-call provider, and captures routine requests with structured intake notes your team reviews and files. No voicemail, no missed patients, no Monday morning backlog.

How it pays back

Urgent Calls Reach On-Call Instantly

Parents reporting high fever, difficulty breathing, severe injury, or other red flags trigger immediate escalation to your on-call pediatrician. Your practice sets the triage rules; the AI routes by those rules and escalates only what matters. Routine questions and appointment requests never interrupt on-call sleep.

Routine Requests Book Overnight Into Kareo

A parent calling Friday evening to request a Monday appointment is answered, triaged as routine, and booked into your Kareo calendar with the caller's name, child's date of birth, reason for visit, and any relevant history. Your team arrives Monday morning to a populated schedule, not a voicemail stack.

Pediatric Intake Designed for Your Workflow

MedReception captures age-appropriate details: symptom onset, fever history, current medications, recent exposures, and allergy status. The structured summary is returned for your clinical staff to review and file into the chart. No clinical decisions are made by the AI; escalation and intake are the system's only roles.

Custom-Built for Your Kareo Setup and On-Call Rotation

Your practice defines urgency thresholds, on-call provider phone numbers, escalation rules, and after-hours hours. MedReception is custom-built per client and includes white-glove onboarding and a real team. Changes to your rotation or triage rules are handled as free lifetime edits.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know when to escalate a call to on-call?

Your practice defines escalation rules during setup. Common triggers include fever above a certain threshold, difficulty breathing, severe injury, allergic reaction, or any caller request for immediate help. The AI applies your rules and escalates by phone to your on-call provider. Your team retains all clinical judgment; the AI routes and escalates only.

What happens to a routine call at 11 p.m. on a Friday?

The AI answers, captures the parent's name, child's details, reason for visit, and any relevant history. If it is not an escalation, the call is booked into your first available Kareo slot (usually Monday morning) and logged with full context. Your staff arrives to a scheduled appointment and structured notes, not a voicemail.

Does the AI write clinical notes into Kareo automatically?

No. The AI captures intake data and returns it as a structured summary. Your clinical staff reviews the summary, verifies accuracy, and files it into the chart. This keeps your clinicians in control of the medical record and ensures pediatric-specific details are documented correctly.

How long does setup take?

Launch takes about one week from signup. Your Kareo connection and practice phone number are ready in one to three days. Registering your number for patient texting takes about five business days. Your onboarding team walks you through triage rules, on-call rotation, and intake templates before go-live.

What if our Kareo setup changes or we need to adjust escalation rules?

Changes are free and handled for life. Your practice controls triage rules, on-call contact info, after-hours hours, and intake templates. If your rotation changes, your staff adds a new on-call number, or you want to refine urgency thresholds, your MedReception team updates it at no charge.
