Plastic Surgery + Kareo

Prescription refill calls don't disappear into voicemail. AI answers, captures the request, routes to the right provider, and your team approves or escalates, all logged in Kareo.

Plastic surgery practices field refill requests during surgery blocks, lunch, and after hours. MedReception AI answers every call, captures the patient's medication name and quantity, confirms their identity and chart access, and routes the request to the prescribing provider or clinical staff. The refill request is structured and returned as a summary ready for your team to review and approve in Kareo, with no manual transcription.

How it pays back

No Refill Calls Missed During Surgery or Lunch

Refill requests answered immediately, even when your team is in the OR or away from the desk. Patients don't leave voicemails or call the emergency line for a routine medication renewal. AI captures the request, confirms the patient's identity, and routes it to the right person, so your staff never wonder if a refill was requested.

Structured Refill Data Ready for Kareo

Instead of listening to voicemail or transcribing notes, your team receives a structured summary: patient name, medication, dose, quantity, and reason. Staff review, approve, and action the refill without re-entering data. Insurance and prior authorization flags are captured on the call and returned to your team for review.

Routing Rules You Control

Define which refill requests go to which provider, which go to clinical staff, and which are escalated to on-call. AI follows your rules every time. Routine refills for established patients can be held for business hours; urgent or complex requests go to the on-call roster immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI approve or deny refill requests?

No. The AI answers the call, captures the medication details and patient identity, and routes the request to your prescribing provider or clinical staff. Your team reviews and makes the approval decision in Kareo. MedReception escalates urgent or complex requests to on-call staff per your rules.

What if the patient's insurance requires prior authorization?

The AI captures insurance information and any prior authorization flags during the call. That data is returned in the structured summary for your team to review and handle. Your staff decide whether to contact the payer or route the request back to the patient.

Can I set different refill workflows for different providers?

Yes. You define routing rules: which refill requests go to which provider, which go to clinical staff, and which are escalated to on-call. AI follows your rules on every call.

How long does setup take?

Launch takes about one week from signup. The Kareo connection and your practice phone number are ready in one to three days. Registering your number for patient texting takes about five business days.

What happens if we switch EHRs?

Your refill intake workflow and call logs stay with you. MedReception is EMR-independent and portable. You keep your AI and your routing rules; your team just enters the new EHR connection.
