Implementation

Step-by-step guide to connecting your Kareo practice to AI reception

Learn how to integrate MedReception AI with your Kareo system, configure call routing and appointment booking, and go live in days.

How it pays back

Kareo integration works alongside your system

Your Kareo provider list, schedules, and patient data are read live. MedReception AI captures calls and routes them; appointment bookings and new patient demographics (name, DOB, phone) sync to Kareo. Call summaries, medical history, and clinical details are returned as structured, EMR-pasteable summaries for your staff to review and file.

Setup takes days, not weeks

Your Kareo credentials and practice rules are imported automatically. Configuration is guided. Most practices are live and handling calls within 3–5 business days.

Your staff's Kareo workflow doesn't change

Appointments, new patients, and call summaries appear in Kareo just as they always have. No new software to learn; AI reception works alongside your existing system.

Gradual rollout minimizes disruption

Start with after-hours calls only, add appointment booking later, or go full-featured immediately. Your practice controls the pace and risk.

Frequently asked questions

What information do I need to provide to set up the integration?

Your Kareo account credentials (username and password or API key), a list of providers and their phone extensions, your appointment types, and your call routing preferences (e.g., ring tone rules, urgent keywords for your specialty).

Does the integration require IT involvement?

No. Your Kareo admin or practice manager can authorize the connection from the Kareo portal. No firewalls, VPNs, or server changes needed. It's a cloud-to-cloud connection.

What if my Kareo setup uses custom fields or non-standard appointment types?

The AI can be configured to recognize and use custom fields, appointment types, and provider attributes in Kareo. Your implementation specialist will map these during setup.

Can I test the system before going live?

Yes. You can configure a test environment using a sandbox Kareo account or test a limited set of appointment types before full rollout.

What happens if our Kareo system goes down?

The AI operates independently but syncs data to Kareo when available. If Kareo is temporarily unavailable, calls are still answered and queued; data is synced as soon as Kareo is back online.

How long does the full implementation take?

Most practices are live in 3–5 business days. That includes initial setup, configuration, testing, and staff training. Complex multi-location practices may take a week or two.
