Internal Medicine

Your team spends hours fielding cancellations and rescheduling calls. AI answers them instantly, updates Kareo, and frees your staff to focus on patient care.

Internal medicine practices field cancellation and reschedule requests throughout the day and after hours. MedReception AI answers every call, captures the reason for the change, updates the Kareo calendar in seconds, and suggests available slots. Your staff reviews and confirms, so you control every change to the schedule.

How it pays back

No More Missed Cancellations

Cancellation calls arrive during lunch, after 5 p.m., or while your team is with patients. AI answers every one. Kareo is updated instantly, so your schedule is never out of sync with reality. Your staff no longer chase voicemails or discover empty slots at end of day.

Patients Rebook Immediately

Instead of a callback loop, the caller hears available times and can book a new appointment on the spot. If they need a specific provider or time slot, AI escalates to your team. Either way, the reschedule is done, not pending.

Staff Work Ahead, Not Behind

Your front desk is no longer fielding a backlog of reschedule requests. They review the AI summaries, confirm Kareo changes, and move to the next task. Cancellation management becomes a 30-second verification, not a 10-minute phone call.

Portable Across EHRs

MedReception is built independently of Kareo, so your cancellation and reschedule workflow stays the same if you switch EHRs later. Your AI receptionist moves with you.

Frequently asked questions

Does AI automatically change my Kareo schedule?

No. AI captures the cancellation or reschedule request, suggests available slots, and if the caller confirms, flags the change for your staff to review and approve in Kareo. Your team always has the final say.

What if a patient calls to reschedule but wants a specific provider or time that's not available?

AI will note the preference and escalate the call to your team. Your staff can then work with the patient directly or offer alternatives. Urgent or same-day requests follow the routing rules you've set.

Does this work after hours?

Yes. AI answers cancellation and reschedule calls 24/7. After-hours changes are captured and returned as a summary for your team to process first thing in the morning, or routed to an on-call provider if your practice requires it.

How long does it take to set up?

Launch takes about one week from signup. The Kareo connection and your practice phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Your team will configure the available appointment slots and any escalation rules during onboarding.
