Compliance

AI receptionist for Kareo meets HIPAA requirements—encrypted calls, secure storage, audit trails

Kareo practices must ensure all patient communications meet HIPAA standards. MedReception's AI receptionist logs all calls securely, maintains consent records, and keeps audit trails for compliance.

How it pays back

Call recordings and summaries stay secure

All recordings are encrypted end-to-end and stored in HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Access is restricted to your staff and auditable in your MedReception portal.

Consent is documented and timestamped

Every call includes a timestamp and record of patient consent. Your audit trail shows who called when, what was discussed, and whether consent was obtained—critical for regulatory review.

Appointment bookings and new patient records flow to Kareo

Appointment bookings, new patient creation, and demographics write directly to your Kareo environment. Call recordings are stored securely in MedReception's infrastructure and returned as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for your team to review and file.
