Kareo practices that rely on voicemail lose appointments, referrals, and patient retention — MedReception answers every call

For Kareo practices, missed calls mean lost bookings, unhandled urgent cases, and patient frustration. MedReception captures every call and books appointments directly to your Kareo system.

No more lost bookings from voicemail

Callers reach MedReception live. Appointments are booked immediately and written to Kareo. No voicemail tag-team, no re-entry, no lost bookings.

Frequently asked questions

What percentage of calls to Kareo practices end in voicemail?

It depends on practice size and staffing. Practices with small front-desk teams or high call volume during peak hours often miss calls. After-hours, every call goes to voicemail unless you have a dedicated service.

How many of those voicemail calls become lost appointments?

Callers who reach voicemail are significantly less likely to follow up or re-call. Many call a competitor instead. With MedReception, those calls are answered and booked live.

Can Kareo's phone system prevent missed calls?

Kareo doesn't include a phone system. Practices typically use a separate phone line and voicemail. MedReception sits on your existing phone line and answers all calls, routing bookings back to Kareo.

What if MedReception books an appointment and the patient doesn't show?

MedReception logs the booking in Kareo with caller info and reason for visit. No-show prevention is then up to your practice — reminder calls, SMS, or other tactics.

Does MedReception replace my front-desk staff?

No. MedReception handles overflow, after-hours, and routine calls. Your staff still manages complex requests, insurance verification, and clinical support. The result is less phone stress for your team and more appointments booked.

How is this different from an answering service?

Answering services take messages and call back. MedReception answers and books appointments live, writing them directly to Kareo. Callers get instant confirmation; your practice gets instant appointment data.
