Kareo Integration

AI receptionist answers every Kareo practice call and routes urgent messages to the right provider

Instead of voicemail, every call gets answered by AI. Callers reach your practice instantly, and urgent messages are routed to on-call providers while routine requests are logged for staff.

How it pays back

No Missed Urgent Calls

AI screens inbound calls for urgency flags—chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, suicidal ideation—and immediately routes to the on-call provider or emergency line. Your practice handles true emergencies in real time.

Clear Routing for Staff

Routine calls (refills, appointment questions, results) are logged with context and routed to the right staff member or department. No caller repeats their story; no staff member guesses the intent.

Revenue Recovery

After-hours calls for appointment scheduling, medications, and test results are captured and routed. Your practice doesn't lose patients to competitors or emergency departments because of unanswered phones.

Every call answered

No voicemail, no busy signal, no missed calls

Urgent calls escalated

Real-time provider notification

Call context preserved

Caller intent, symptoms, and routing logged

Frequently asked questions

What happens if a caller doesn't want to talk to AI?

Callers can request a human at any time and are transferred to an available staff member. If no staff are available, they're offered a callback at a specified time or left a detailed message.

How does the AI know which calls are urgent?

The AI listens for clinical keywords—chest pain, shortness of breath, severe bleeding, suicidal thoughts—and confirms urgency with the caller. Urgent calls bypass the queue and go directly to the on-call provider.

Can the AI route calls to specific providers or departments?

Yes. You configure routing rules by provider, department, and reason. For example, 'orthopedic urgent' routes to the on-call ortho surgeon; 'patient portal help' routes to front desk.

Do call summaries appear in Kareo?

Call reason, caller intent, and any clinical details are captured and returned as a structured summary. Staff review it in Kareo and file it to the patient chart as needed.

Does this work for after-hours and weekend calls?

Yes. The AI is live 24/7. Business-hours calls reach your staff immediately; after-hours calls are screened and escalated to the on-call provider or logged for morning routing.
