Kareo Integration

Free your front desk from call-answering so they can focus on patients in the room

MedReception's AI answers incoming calls, books appointments into Kareo, and captures new patient demographics while your staff see patients, process insurance, and manage the schedule. Phone volume drops from the front desk workload entirely.

How it pays back

Front desk can actually work without interruption

Phone calls stop ringing through to the desk. They process insurance forms, check in patients, and manage the schedule without constant call breaks.

Appointment accuracy improves

AI books directly to Kareo and confirms details with the caller. Typos, double-bookings, and 'I thought I called yesterday' drop significantly.

New patient data starts pre-visit

The AI captures demographics and contact details on the call. Patients arrive with intake started; staff complete the clinical questionnaire and insurance verification in the exam room or before the visit.

Staff morale lifts

Front-desk team report lower stress and higher job satisfaction when they're not fielding dozens of calls per day. They can focus on face-to-face patient care and problem-solving.

Inbound calls answered

Every call answered by AI or escalated; front desk phones stay quiet

Kareo bookings automated

Appointments and new patients written in real time; staff see current schedule

Phone interruptions reduced

Front desk workload shifts from answering calls to patient-facing work

Intake data pre-filled

Demographics and contact captured before visit; staff complete clinical intake

Frequently asked questions

Will my front desk still need to answer phones?

Rarely. The AI answers all routine inbound calls and handles bookings, reschedules, and new patient intake. Staff are on backup for complex questions, but most calls are resolved without them. Your front desk can focus on check-in and patient flow.

What if a patient prefers to talk to a human?

The AI can warm-transfer to a staff member at any point. Patients can also request a live agent at the start of the call. Your staff are always available; the AI just means they're not interrupted by routine booking calls.

Does the AI see the same Kareo schedule my front desk sees?

Yes. The AI queries your live Kareo schedule in real time. It shows the same available appointment slots, provider blocks, and schedule updates that your staff see.

How do staff know which calls the AI handled?

A call journal in MedReception logs all inbound calls, whether handled by AI or transferred to staff, plus booking outcomes and new patient records created. Staff can pull a daily report or check in real time.

Can the AI handle specific Kareo features like appointment notes or visit types?

Yes. The AI can ask for appointment reason, visit type (telehealth vs. in-person), and capture any special notes. Those details are written to Kareo in the appointment record so your provider and clinical staff have context before the visit.

What if we experience a sudden surge in calls?

The AI handles surge volume without extra staff. Patients are answered and booked into available slots or scheduled for the next open date. Your staff aren't overwhelmed; the AI absorbs the volume.
