Kareo Integration
Gastroenterology practices field prescription refill calls around the clock. MedReception's AI answers every after-hours request, captures the medication name and patient details, routes urgent refills to your on-call provider via SMS alert, and logs routine requests as structured summaries ready for your team to review and file. Your team reviews once and acts.

After-hours callers reach the AI immediately. The medication name, patient identifier, and reason for the refill are captured on the call. Routine requests are logged as a summary ready for your team at start of business. Urgent refills escalate to your on-call provider the moment the call arrives, with a phone transfer if your protocol requires it.
You define which medications or clinical scenarios trigger an immediate alert to your on-call provider. The AI applies your triage logic consistently. A patient calling for a routine antacid refill is logged for the morning; a call about an immunosuppressant that ran out over the weekend goes to your provider now.
Patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) sync into Kareo on the first call. Refill requests are returned as a structured summary your staff review once and file. No re-typing the caller's name or medication list. Your team focuses on clinical decisions and approval, not data entry.
The AI knows which medications and scenarios matter in GI practice: immunosuppressants post-procedure, anticoagulants before surveillance, biologics for IBD. Your intake questions and escalation rules are custom-built to your specialty. You are not managing generic intake templates.

You set the rules. You tell us which medications, patient scenarios, or chief complaints trigger an immediate escalation to your on-call provider. The AI applies your protocol consistently on every call. For example, you might flag anticoagulant refills as urgent but log routine antacid requests for the morning.
The AI captures their name, date of birth, phone number, and refill request on the call. Those demographics sync into Kareo as a new patient record. Your staff review the refill summary and file it. No duplicate charts, no manual lookup.
No. The AI captures the request and returns it as a structured summary your team reviews. Your clinician approves the refill and enters it into Kareo. The AI handles the answering and triage; your team makes the clinical decision.
The AI listens to the reason for the call. If the caller describes a symptom or concern that needs an in-person visit, the AI can offer the next available appointment in your Kareo schedule and book it. Urgent symptoms escalate to on-call. Routine appointment requests are booked into tomorrow's slots.
Launch takes about one week from signup. Your Kareo connection and practice phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering the number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Your onboarding team builds your refill triage rules, intake questions, and escalation protocol during setup. You get a real person, not a checklist.
