New Patient Capture

The division of labour between the intake call and the Kareo record your staff complete

The AI does not finish a Kareo registration; it seeds it. Name, DOB, phone and reason for visit are created during the call with the caller confirming them out loud. Insurance, emergency contacts and clinical history are captured and handed to your staff to verify and file.

How it pays back

Registration starts on the call, not in voicemail

Instead of asking the caller to leave their information for a callback, name, DOB, phone and visit reason are taken while they are on the line. The Kareo record is seeded before they ever arrive.

The caller corrects the spelling

Names are spelled out and read back during the call. The person who knows how their surname is spelled is the one who confirms it, rather than a staff member reconstructing it from a note afterwards.

Insurance does not block the booking

Insurance is captured on the call and held in your MedReception portal. Your staff verify coverage while the appointment is already booked, so verification runs in parallel with scheduling rather than gating it.

Your staff finish rather than start

The registration your front desk opens is partly complete and already confirmed by the patient. Their work is filling the remaining fields and verifying, which is a shorter task than building a record from a message.

Check-in is confirmation, not data entry

The patient arrives with name, DOB, phone and visit reason already in Kareo. The desk confirms emergency contacts and history instead of working through a basic-information form.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does the AI create in Kareo?

If the caller is new to your practice, the AI creates a patient record in Kareo with their name, date of birth and phone during the call. Your staff can edit it, add notes, or adjust it within seconds of the call ending.

What does the AI not write to Kareo?

Insurance, clinical history, medications, allergies and chief complaint. Those are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file to the patient record, so nothing clinical enters Kareo unreviewed.

What if the caller refuses to give insurance on the phone?

The AI captures name, DOB, phone and chief complaint; insurance is optional. Your staff can request it when they confirm the appointment or at check-in. The appointment is never blocked by missing insurance.

What if the caller's name is spelled unusually?

The AI asks the caller to spell it out and reads it back for confirmation. Corrections are made on the spot rather than after the call.

Can the AI ask screening questions about history or medications?

Yes. You configure which screening questions are asked during the intake call. Answers are captured and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file to the patient record.

Can we request a photo of an ID or insurance card during the call?

Yes. The AI can send an upload link during the call or by follow-up text or email. Your staff review the image in MedReception and file or verify it before the first appointment.
