Kareo + AI

AI answering service that handles after-hours calls and queues them for Kareo the next business day

Never miss an after-hours call again. MedReception's AI receptionist answers calls when your office is closed, captures patient details and call reason, and returns a structured queue for your staff to process through Kareo in the morning.

How it pays back

Never Lose an After-Hours Patient

Your AI receptionist answers every call after 5 PM, on weekends, and on holidays. Callers hear a real voice, not voicemail. You get a full record by morning.

Urgent Calls Routed Immediately

Patients reporting chest pain, severe allergic reactions, or other emergencies are escalated to an on-call physician or emergency services in real time. Routine messages wait for morning review.

Structured Queue for Next Morning

Your front desk opens their inbox to a prioritized list of after-hours calls, each with patient name, reason, and best callback time. No scrambling to decode voicemails.

Kareo-Ready Summaries

Call summaries are formatted and structured so your staff can quickly review them, decide what to add to the patient's Kareo record, attach to an encounter note, or use to schedule a callback appointment.

Every after-hours call answered

Day or night, no calls go to voicemail

Call summary structured for staff review

Caller details formatted for quick reference and callback scheduling

HIPAA-secure message storage

Frequently asked questions

What happens when a patient calls after hours?

The AI receptionist answers and greets them by name if they're in your system. It asks why they're calling, captures their callback number, and lets them know when they'll hear back. Urgent cases are escalated right away.

How do I know which calls are truly emergencies?

The AI receptionist is trained to recognize keywords—chest pain, bleeding, difficulty breathing, allergic reaction, severe injury. Those calls are flagged as urgent and can trigger an immediate page to your on-call provider or transfer to 911.

Do patients get a transcript or callback confirmation?

Yes. Your staff can configure automatic SMS or email confirmations so the patient knows their call was received and when to expect a callback.

How does the after-hours queue work with Kareo?

Call summaries are structured in a format your staff can review and decide how to use—copy into a Kareo encounter note, create a callback appointment, or file as a summary. You control how the data flows into your chart.

Can I set different rules for after-hours calls depending on the patient's history?

Yes. You can configure the AI to handle established patients differently from new callers—for example, asking established patients fewer intake questions if they're already in your Kareo system.
