Kareo Integration

Kareo practices lose after-hours calls to voicemail—AI receptionist books them instead

When your office closes, calls don't vanish. A Kareo-integrated AI receptionist answers, qualifies the caller, and books urgent or routine appointments into your calendar—whether it's 10 PM or Sunday morning.

How it pays back

Revenue from Calls That Normally Vanish

After-hours calls typically hit voicemail and are never returned. The AI receptionist converts them to confirmed appointments in Kareo while you sleep.

Urgent Triage Without Waking Staff

Patient describes their issue to the AI. Chest pain, severe allergic reaction, or other emergencies are flagged and routed to your on-call provider or 911. Routine follow-ups are booked automatically.

No Monday Morning Callback Backlog

Weekend calls don't pile up on your desk Monday morning. Appointments are already in Kareo. Staff focuses on scheduled patients and clinical work, not burning time on callback lists.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which calls are urgent?

The receptionist asks initial screening questions. Signs of chest pain, severe allergic reaction, difficulty breathing, or other critical symptoms trigger an immediate escalation to your on-call provider or 911. Routine concerns are booked into your first available slot.

Can I set custom after-hours routing rules in Kareo?

Yes. During setup, you define routing logic: routine calls go to appointments, urgent calls go to your on-call line, and certain keywords (like 'emergency') can bypass booking and go straight to an external number.

What happens if a caller needs to speak to a live person?

You can configure the AI to offer a live transfer option at any point. If they say 'I need to talk to someone now,' the call can route to your answering service, on-call provider, or nurse advice line—depending on your setup.

Are weekend and holiday bookings locked in Kareo?

Yes. The AI respects your Kareo calendar settings. It won't book appointments on days your office is marked closed unless you've explicitly opened a holiday schedule or on-call clinic in Kareo.
