Kareo Workflow

How missed calls cost Kareo practices new patients and revenue—and why an AI receptionist is the fix

Kareo practices lose calls to voicemail, auto-attendants, and transfer delays. An AI receptionist answers every call and books directly into Kareo, eliminating lost revenue.

How it pays back

Every call answered, no voicemail dead end

The AI answers immediately during business hours and after-hours. Patients hear a real voice, not a machine. Appointment bookings happen live.

Appointments land in Kareo instantly

No manual transfer from notepad to Kareo. The AI books the slot, writes it to the EMR, and your staff sees the new appointment in real time.

New patient demographics captured and ready for review

The AI collects name, DOB, and phone during the call. These details are written to Kareo immediately. Clinical history, allergies, medications, and symptoms are captured as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary for your staff to review and file—so you maintain full control over the patient record.

Frequently asked questions

How many calls do Kareo practices typically miss?

Front desks field heavy call volume. Many practices struggle to answer every call during peak hours, and after-hours calls typically go to voicemail or an IVR. When callers don't reach someone, they often call a competitor instead.

What happens to missed calls with your AI receptionist?

There are no missed calls. The AI answers every inbound call. During business hours, it handles booking, intake, and routing. After-hours, it continues answering and can place callers on a callback list or route urgent cases.

Does the AI understand medical terminology and triage?

Yes. The AI is trained in medical terminology, symptom keywords, and triage protocols. It recognizes chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe allergic reactions, and other red flags and routes them immediately to your on-call provider.

How does this reduce staff workload in Kareo?

Your staff no longer spend time answering calls, gathering patient info, manually entering demographics, or searching for available slots. The AI does all of that. Staff receive structured summaries and confirmed appointments—ready to action.

Can we use this part-time—only during lunch or busy hours?

Yes. Many practices deploy the AI during peak hours (10 a.m.–2 p.m., 4–6 p.m.) to handle overflow. Others run it full-time. You decide when it answers.
