Kareo Compliance

Every AI receptionist call recorded, encrypted, and audit-logged for Kareo chart compliance

MedReception encrypts all calls, stores recordings securely, and provides audit logs linking each call to your Kareo appointment or new patient record. Your compliance and medical-legal teams have the evidence they need.

How it pays back

Medical-Legal Documentation is Complete

When a patient disputes what they said on the phone, or a clinical question arises about what was discussed during scheduling, the call recording and structured summary are in your Kareo chart. You have evidence of the conversation, not just a note that says 'patient called.'

Compliance Audits are Fast and Painless

Your compliance officer runs a report showing all AI receptionist calls, their timestamps, the PHI captured, and who accessed it. No hunting through email or paper records. The audit trail is built in and exportable for regulators or internal review.

HIPAA Violations Are Prevented, Not Just Logged

MedReception encrypts all data in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256). Access is role-based—only staff with Kareo permissions can listen to calls or review patient details. Unauthorized access is blocked and logged.

State Privacy Laws Are Supported

If your state requires call recording consent, MedReception handles it upfront. If a patient opts out of recording, the AI receptionist still captures structured data, but no audio is stored. Your Kareo record reflects the consent status.

Frequently asked questions

Are all calls recorded?

All calls are captured and stored securely. Recording consent is handled at the start of the call based on your state's requirements (one-party consent vs. two-party consent). If consent is refused or required but not obtained, the audio is not stored, but the call summary and appointment data are still retained.

Can staff listen to the call recording from Kareo?

Administrators and designated compliance staff can access call recordings and playback them from the MedReception portal. Kareo integration doesn't expose audio directly in the EMR, but your Kareo users can see a link to the call in the appointment record.

How long are call recordings retained?

You control the retention policy. Most practices keep 12–36 months of call data for compliance and medical-legal purposes. MedReception can auto-delete after your configured period to minimize storage liability.

What if a patient asks for their call recording?

You can export the call recording and structured summary as part of a patient's medical records request (HIPAA Right of Access). The process is standard—your office generates the export from MedReception and sends it to the patient.

Is the compliance audit trail HIPAA and SOC 2 certified?

MedReception is HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2 Type II certified. The audit trail, encryption, and access controls meet regulatory standards for healthcare practices.
