After-Hours Operations
MedReception's AI receptionist handles after-hours inbound calls for practices using Kareo, answering all calls, conducting new patient intake, and booking appointments into Kareo with structured summaries for staff review.
Every after-hours call is answered, acted upon, and logged in Kareo. Monday morning, staff see appointments already booked and new patient intake summaries ready to review — not a pile of voicemails.
The AI checks Kareo for the patient's history, identifies urgent symptoms, and routes immediately to on-call staff with full context. No time wasted playing phone tag.
A patient who calls Friday evening, completes intake, and books a Monday appointment has demographics and booking confirmed in Kareo, with a structured intake summary ready for staff review. No re-intake, no missing data, no false starts.
When an urgent call is escalated, the on-call provider or nurse sees the full patient context from Kareo and the AI-captured intake summary. They are never blind.

The AI asks the nature of the call. If it is urgent or the patient insists, the AI routes to your on-call provider or answering service with the patient's Kareo chart and the AI-captured intake summary. The on-call staff then decide next steps. If the patient is not on file, the AI gathers key info so the on-call provider has context.
No. We configure which Kareo slots are available for the AI to book. On-call holds, provider admin time, and other blocked slots are excluded. The AI only offers real, available appointments.
The AI checks Kareo for their existing appointment, explains it is scheduled for a future time, and asks if they want to reschedule. If yes, the AI updates Kareo in real time and frees the old slot. If no, the call is logged for your staff to follow up.
The AI-captured intake summary is automatically structured and linked to the patient record in Kareo by our integration. It sits in a review queue or task list for your staff to verify and formally file Monday morning. No manual transfer needed.
After-hours call answering is included in the standard MedReception service. You choose your hours (e.g., 5pm–8am, weekends, holidays) and we configure the AI accordingly. No variable per-call fees.
The AI logs the call, captures all details (appointment request, new patient intake, urgent flag) in our secure system. When Kareo comes back online, we auto-sync the data. The patient's call is never lost, and your team has a full record to review.
