Stop answering phones all day — AI handles calls, books appointments, and triages in Kareo

MedReception's AI receptionist answers every call and handles routine scheduling in Kareo. Your schedulers, medical assistants, and front-desk team reclaim hours each day for clinical support and care coordination.

How it pays back

Schedulers freed from constant phone duty

Your scheduling team spends time on prior authorizations, insurance pre-certifications, and complex patient coordination instead of answering routine scheduling questions repeatedly throughout the day.

Medical assistants focus on clinical prep

Chart prep, vitals entry, and clinical documentation get done instead of waiting for the phones to slow down. Your clinical team is ready for every appointment instead of playing catch-up.

Front-desk team less overwhelmed

Phone volume decreases because the AI answers and resolves most calls asynchronously. Staff are available for in-person check-in, payments, and complex patient interactions.

Kareo data entry backlog eliminated

No stack of voicemail notes to transcribe. Appointments and new patient demographics are in the system with accurate contact information. Your team focuses on clinical documentation and chart completion.

Routine calls removed from staff queues

AI answers scheduling, callback requests, and general inquiries without human involvement

Kareo data entry time reduced

Appointments and new patient demographics captured on the call; staff reviews structured summary for clinical accuracy

Urgent calls escalated intelligently

Only priority cases reach staff; routine calls handled by AI asynchronously

After-hours handled outside business hours

AI answers night and weekend calls; staff not interrupted for routine requests

Frequently asked questions

Will my schedulers feel like they're out of a job?

No. The AI removes the low-value phone-answering work. Schedulers focus on high-touch tasks: complex prior authorizations, insurance appeals, care coordination, patient recalls, and exception cases. Many practices report better morale because staff work on meaningful tasks instead of repetitive phone calls.

What if a caller needs to speak to a human?

The AI recognizes when a call requires human judgment (e.g., complex questions, urgent medical concerns, or patient preference). It transfers to your team with context. Staff are available because they're not answering routine calls.

How does this work during peak call volume?

The AI answers every call, even during busy times. It can handle multiple calls simultaneously and intelligently queues callbacks for less-busy periods. This prevents call abandonment and ensures no patient is stuck in voicemail.

Do we need different Kareo training?

Minimal. Your team doesn't change how they work in Kareo. Appointments and new patients appear in the system as usual. The only difference is staff spend less time on data entry and more on clinical tasks.

What metrics should we track to see the improvement?

Track: call-answering rate, appointment booking completion rate, average time to new patient creation, staff hours spent on phone calls per day, and staff satisfaction with workload. These typically improve as staff redirect time from routine calls to clinical and administrative tasks.
