Decision
Practices using Kareo face voicemail overflow, after-hours call loss, and front-desk phone chaos. AI reception answers every call, books appointments into Kareo automatically, and routes urgent cases live to on-call staff.
No 'press 1 for scheduling, press 2 for billing' menus. The AI picks up, listens, and routes the call appropriately. Patients feel heard and prioritized.
Every booking and new patient record syncs instantly to Kareo. Appointment details, caller name, phone, and DOB are captured on the call and written to Kareo before arrival. Your front desk and clinical staff see accurate, current data—no re-entry, no confusion.
No more hours spent on phone triage, scheduling conflicts, and voicemail callbacks. Staff handle prior authorizations, insurance appeals, patient questions that require judgment.
The AI separates emergency from routine. Chest pain, labor, severe bleeding route immediately. Routine requests (reschedule, prescription refill) are logged for next-day callback.
Unlike hiring additional staff or running expensive IVR upgrades, AI reception is predictable and scales with call volume at no extra charge.

No. MedReception integrates with your current Kareo installation. We connect to your Kareo API and phone system. No changes to your clinical workflows or staff roles are required during deployment.
Trial calls can be recorded and reviewed by your team before full deployment. Most practices find that the AI's natural conversational ability and HIPAA-compliant handling earn staff confidence quickly. A phased rollout (nights and weekends first) reduces risk.
No, and we do not recommend it. Instead, staff hours shift from phone triage and scheduling to patient support, prior authorization work, and complex issues that require human judgment. Many practices reinvest time savings into clinical depth and patient satisfaction.
If a caller expresses frustration or demands to speak to a human, the AI can offer immediate transfer to your staff or an on-call provider. The AI does not force the caller through additional menus; escalation is immediate.
Integration typically takes 1–2 weeks: API key exchange, phone number provisioning, Kareo calendar and provider list sync, and staff training. Most practices are live within 14 days.
