How to enable MedReception's AI receptionist on your Kareo system—setup, training, and launch

Step-by-step guide to connecting MedReception to Kareo, configuring call routing, linking your schedule, and training your team for AI-powered reception.

How it pays back

Live setup support—no guesswork

MedReception's integration team walks your admin through Kareo connection, appointment templates, and routing logic. White-glove onboarding gets you live quickly.

Your Kareo setup stays unchanged

No custom fields, no data schema remodeling. MedReception works alongside your existing Kareo config—templates, locations, providers, and insurance classes.

Staff training built into onboarding

We show your front desk and clinical staff how to review AI call summaries, when to escalate to a clinician, and how to file structured summaries to the chart—not a technical overhaul.

Phased launch reduces risk

Start with after-hours calls or one line, verify accuracy, then expand to full day coverage when your team is confident.

Kareo API connection secure and verified

OAuth authentication, read/write permissions tested

Appointment templates mapped

All visit types, providers, and availability rules synced to AI routing

Call routing rules configured per practice

Frequently asked questions

How long does MedReception setup take with Kareo?

Typically 5–10 business days from signing to live calls. This includes credential verification, API testing, provider/appointment mapping, and staff training.

Do I need IT help to connect MedReception to Kareo?

Usually not. MedReception provides step-by-step OAuth setup. If your Kareo admin needs support, we offer a technical integration call—most practices handle it themselves.

Can I run a pilot before going full-time?

Yes. We often start with after-hours calls, a single line, or one location. After a week or two of accuracy and staff confidence, you expand to all calls.

What if we make changes to our Kareo setup after launch?

New providers, appointment types, or schedule changes sync automatically. You don't need to notify us—the AI updates live based on your Kareo configuration.

Does MedReception require any custom Kareo development?

No. We use standard Kareo APIs. Your Kareo setup is unchanged. No custom fields, no migrations, no downstream issues when Kareo updates.

How do I monitor call quality and AI performance after launch?

We provide dashboards showing call volume, routing accuracy, and call summaries. Your team can review recordings and flag issues for continuous refinement.
