Operations

Stop answering routine calls in Kareo. Let AI handle booking, triage, and intake so staff can manage patient records and clinical tasks.

MedReception removes the phone interruption from your Kareo workflow. Appointments book themselves; patient intake is completed on the call; staff focus on chart accuracy and clinical work instead of voicemail.

How it pays back

Chart work uninterrupted

Staff stay focused on Kareo documentation, prior auth, recalls, and patient records instead of dropping everything to answer the phone.

Faster patient callbacks and follow-ups

When staff do respond to a call (urgent or complex), they already have full context from the AI's intake summary. No re-asking the same questions.

Appointment accuracy improves

AI books only into open Kareo slots. Staff no longer manages a list of phone messages to be entered later, reducing entry errors and double-bookings.

More capacity without more staff

With phones handled by AI, your existing front-desk team can manage more patients, schedule optimization, and prior auth work in Kareo.

Inbound calls handled by AI

No voicemail, no phone ringing in the office during chart work

Appointment bookings into Kareo live

Staff review and confirm; no manual entry from call intake forms

New patient intake structured and ready to file

Staff review summary and file to chart; no re-keying

Staff time freed for clinical and administrative work

Kareo chart work, prior auth, recalls uninterrupted

Frequently asked questions

What if a patient has a complex question that needs a staff member?

The AI recognizes complex calls and escalates to your staff via a live transfer or logged callback. Staff will have the full AI intake summary so they can answer quickly without re-collecting information.

How do staff know which calls came in while they were working in Kareo?

All calls are logged in Kareo with a notification. Staff can see a queue of completed calls (booked, intake captured, escalated) and prioritize which ones need a callback.

Does this require staff to learn a new system?

No. Staff continue working in Kareo as usual. Call summaries and booking confirmations appear in Kareo. There's no separate app or process to learn.

What happens to our office phone line?

Your main office number is still your main number. Patients call as normal. The AI answers and handles the call. If staff need to pick up (emergency or complex issue), they can take control.

Can staff override an AI booking if there's an error?

Yes. Staff can edit, reschedule, or cancel any appointment in Kareo, including AI-booked appointments. The system is designed to assist, not restrict.
