Use MedReception AI within your Kareo workflow: appointments, patient records, and call routing all in one ecosystem

MedReception works alongside Kareo's practice management system: scheduling, EHR, billing, and patient communication, with AI-driven call handling as the front door.

How it pays back

Single source of truth

Appointments, patient data, and call history all live in Kareo. No switching between systems or reconciling data.

Your Kareo staff see the full picture

Schedulers, billing, and clinical staff access the same patient record—including call notes, triage summaries, and appointment context.

Billing gets better data

Appointments and new patient records are pre-populated in Kareo with clean, verified demographic data. Call summaries are captured for your team's review and filing.

Clinical team knows why the patient called

Call summaries and triage notes are available for your team to add to the chart. Providers see context before the visit.

Reduced manual re-entry and errors

Appointment and demographic data written once at call intake syncs to Kareo. Call summaries are structured and ready for your team's review.

Scales with practice growth

As your Kareo instance grows across locations, providers, and specialties, AI handles call volume without adding front-desk headcount.

Frequently asked questions

How does MedReception connect to my Kareo system?

MedReception uses Kareo's APIs and webhooks to read and write data. You provide Kareo admin credentials during setup, and MedReception requests the specific permissions needed (calendar access, patient record creation, on-call schedule reads). All communication is encrypted and HIPAA-compliant.

Will this slow down my Kareo performance?

No. MedReception integrates asynchronously, so appointment bookings and patient creates don't block your Kareo workflows. Data syncs happen in the background.

What happens if Kareo goes down?

The AI receptionist continues to answer calls. If Kareo is temporarily unavailable, new appointments and patient records are held in MedReception's queue and sync to Kareo as soon as it's back online. Urgent calls are still routed based on the last known on-call schedule.

Can I customize what data flows between MedReception and Kareo?

Yes. Your Kareo admin and the MedReception team define which fields sync, which are optional, and how errors or missing data are handled. For example, you can require demographics on certain call types but make insurance optional, and clinical information is captured and returned as a structured summary for your team to review.

Do all my Kareo users need to learn a new system?

No. Your staff use Kareo as they always do. The AI receptionist is transparent to them—it just pre-fills appointment and demographic data and routes calls. They interact with MedReception only if they need to adjust call routing rules or review call summaries.

What about Kareo multi-location practices?

MedReception can be configured for multi-location Kareo instances. Calls can be routed to the right location scheduler, appointments sync to the right calendar, and on-call routing respects location-specific provider schedules.
