After-Hours Operations
After-hours and weekend callers confirm their appointment slot with your AI receptionist. The booking goes directly to Kareo. You arrive Monday morning with a full schedule of new confirmed appointments.
Your practice captures every after-hours caller automatically. Patients self-serve to available slots. Your team works normal hours and handles urgent escalations only. No night staff, no expensive callback queue.
You don't arrive to a stack of voicemails and a call-back list. The weekend's appointments are already in Kareo, confirmed, and waiting. Your day starts organized, not reactive.
Saturday and Sunday callers have their intake information captured during the call. A structured summary is ready for your team to review and file into Kareo on Monday. Your intake staff has the context they need from day one.
Patients who book after-hours have confirmed their appointment on the call. They receive a confirmation text or email immediately. By Monday, they've already received a reminder. No forgotten appointments.

The AI reads Kareo's published schedule 24/7. Even though your office is closed, your appointment calendar is live. When a caller says 'I'd like Tuesday at 2 PM,' the AI checks if Tuesday at 2 PM is open and books it immediately. The appointment goes into Kareo in real-time, ready for your team on Tuesday.
If a caller reports an emergency (chest pain, severe injury, etc.), the AI recognizes the urgency and immediately alerts your on-call provider or escalates to emergency services. For urgent-but-not-emergency calls, the AI offers the next available slot and escalates to your staff if the caller requests it.
Yes. After confirming the appointment on the call, the AI offers to send a text message or email confirmation immediately. Patients receive their appointment details and a reminder—same as if they'd booked during business hours.
Yes. Any appointment booked by the AI is a standard Kareo appointment. Your staff can edit, cancel, or reschedule it just like any other booking—before the visit, or after if needed.
The AI captures intake information during the call and creates a structured summary for your team to review and file into the Kareo chart the next business day. This way, new patient information isn't lost overnight.
Yes. Whether your Kareo is cloud-hosted or on-premise, the integration works the same way. The AI reads your schedule and writes appointments in real-time, as long as the connection is active.
