Kareo Integration

Collect insurance info during intake; let staff verify and file while bookings proceed uninterrupted

MedReception captures insurance information on the call and returns it to your Kareo team for verification, keeping appointment booking separate and fast.

How it pays back

Booking speed unaffected by verification

The AI books the appointment while you verify the insurance. Patients get confirmed slots on the call. Insurance details are added to Kareo after your team verifies eligibility.

Insurance data ready for your team

All carrier, member ID, and group number details are captured and organized in the portal. Your billing team can verify and file immediately—no manual lookup or call-backs.

Fewer check-in surprises

By the time the patient arrives, you've verified coverage and know any copay, deductible, or authorization requirements. Check-in is faster; patient expectations are set.

Separate workflows, no collision

Intake, booking, and insurance verification happen in parallel, not in sequence. Your front desk doesn't wait for billing to verify before confirming an appointment.

Insurance information is attached to the patient record with a timestamp of when it was verified. Staff can see what was captured, when, and by whom.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI verify insurance eligibility on the call?

No. The AI asks for carrier, member ID, and group number and captures that data. Verification (copay, deductible, auth requirements) is your team's responsibility after the call, using your normal eligibility tools.

Where is the insurance information stored after the call?

It is held in the secure MedReception portal, encrypted, and accessible only to your staff. You can retrieve it, verify coverage, and then attach it to the patient record in Kareo.

Can patients provide insurance later if they don't have their card?

Yes. If a patient doesn't have their card on hand, the AI books the appointment and notes that insurance will be provided later. Your staff request it during check-in or can call the patient before the visit.

How does the insurance information get into Kareo?

Your staff manually review the portal, verify eligibility using your tools, and then add the insurance details to the patient record in Kareo. This ensures accuracy and compliance with your verification process.

What if the insurance carrier is not in the AI's database?

The AI will ask for as much detail as the patient can provide (carrier name, member ID, group) and capture it in free text. Your team can then look up the carrier and verify coverage.

Does the portal sync insurance data to Kareo automatically?

No. The AI captures insurance on the call and stores it in the portal. Your staff review and manually add it to Kareo after verification. This workflow keeps verification under your control.
