How MedReception integrates with Kareo while maintaining HIPAA compliance, encryption, and audit trails

MedReception's Kareo integration is built on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure with end-to-end encryption, secure authentication, and full audit logging—no patient data stored outside your account.

How it pays back

Your Kareo data stays yours

MedReception writes appointments and new patient demographics to Kareo. Call intake summaries, medical history, allergies, medications, and symptoms are captured during the call and returned as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for your team to review and file in Kareo. All data written to your Kareo account is the source of truth. No dual records, no data silos.

No HIPAA liability on voicemail

Traditional voicemail systems store patient messages on third-party servers. MedReception eliminates voicemail; all calls are answered live or routed to your team. No patient data left on public infrastructure.

Secure, auditable call logs

Every call is encrypted, logged, and tagged with patient name, provider, timestamp, and outcome. Your compliance team can audit call history, routing decisions, and escalations for risk and quality review.

No re-authentication or credential sharing

MedReception uses OAuth to connect securely to your Kareo account. Your username and password are never shared or stored. You can revoke MedReception's access anytime from your Kareo settings.
