Kareo practices: every call answered live, appointments booked into your schedule in real time

The MedReception AI receptionist answers every call to your Kareo practice, checks real-time availability, books appointments, and syncs them instantly. No missed calls, no callback queue, no scheduling delays.

How it pays back

Calls answered instantly, not queued

Callers hear a live voice within seconds and book appointments without waiting, leaving voicemail, or calling back. The appointment is confirmed before they hang up.

Appointments synced to Kareo immediately

Appointment bookings and patient demographics write directly to Kareo. Your team opens Kareo and sees the booked appointment already on the calendar.

Provider availability checked in real time

The AI sees which clinicians are open, which days are blocked, and which times are held for specific appointment types. Callers get accurate availability, not outdated options.

Front desk stays on clinical work

Routine scheduling calls are handled by the AI. Your schedulers answer complex questions, handle exceptions, and assist clinical staff instead of spending all day on the phone.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI see my Kareo schedule?

The AI connects to Kareo's scheduling API to check real-time availability, provider calendars, and appointment types. It sees open slots, blocked time, and lunch breaks just like your staff.

Can the AI book appointments for any provider in my Kareo instance?

Yes. You configure which providers the AI can book for, which appointment types are available via phone, and which time slots or patient types require staff review. The AI respects all your Kareo scheduling rules.

What if the caller wants to reschedule an existing appointment?

The AI asks for the patient's name and date of birth, retrieves their existing appointment from Kareo, and offers new times. If the caller confirms, the old appointment is cancelled and the new one is booked.

Does the AI handle no-shows or cancellations?

Yes. If a patient calls to cancel, the AI removes the appointment from Kareo and offers to reschedule. Cancellations can trigger auto-fill workflows if you configure them in Kareo.

Can I customize what the AI says during the booking call?

Yes. You provide your greeting, practice hours, and any specific messaging. The AI also confirms appointment details the way your practice prefers—confirmation code, location, parking notes, or pre-visit prep.

What if a caller has a question the AI can't answer?

The AI recognizes when a question is outside its scope—complex medical questions, billing disputes, prior auth status—and transfers the call to your staff or voicemail. You set the escalation rules.
