Clinical Workflow

Callers complete intake on the phone; demographics and appointment details sync to Kareo, structured summaries returned for staff review

MedReception captures new patient details and structured intake summaries on the initial call, then creates Kareo records with demographics and appointment info. Intake summaries are returned to staff as structured, EMR-pasteable documents for review and filing—eliminating repeat intake questions.

How it pays back

New patient record created before office opens

Caller dials after hours, provides name and DOB. MedReception creates the Kareo patient record and schedules the appointment. Your front desk opens to a complete new patient in the system.

Intake questionnaire answered once

MedReception asks about allergies, medications, prior surgeries, and chief complaint during the booking call. The structured summary is returned to your staff, who review and file it into the Kareo chart. No patient repeats the history at check-in.

Red flags surfaced immediately

If a caller mentions a recent hospitalization, active chest pain, or drug allergy, MedReception flags it in the summary. Your staff see it before the appointment and can triage or reschedule if needed.

Clinician efficiency gain

Provider opens the chart to see structured intake already logged. No time wasted asking 'What brings you in today?' and 'Any allergies?'—they start where the clinical work begins.

Frequently asked questions

Does MedReception write insurance information directly to the Kareo patient record?

No. Insurance details are captured on the call and returned as part of the structured intake summary. Your staff review the information and enter it into Kareo's insurance fields according to your data entry workflow.

What if the caller doesn't want to answer intake questions on the phone?

MedReception respects caller preference. If they prefer a quick booking with intake at check-in, the call is brief and only essential details (name, time, chief complaint) are captured. Staff handle the full questionnaire in-office.

Can the intake summary be pasted directly into Kareo's history of present illness or notes field?

Yes. The structured summary is formatted for easy copy-paste into Kareo's clinical note fields. Your staff can edit or expand it before the provider opens the chart.

What happens if a caller provides conflicting information—e.g., says no allergies but then mentions a penicillin rash?

MedReception captures both responses and flags the discrepancy in the summary. Staff see it immediately and can clarify with the patient before the appointment or at check-in.

Is the intake summary HIPAA-compliant when sent to staff?

Yes. The summary is transmitted securely and only accessible to staff with Kareo login credentials. No unencrypted email or public sharing.
