Kareo Workflow
Unanswered calls and missed urgency flags put Kareo practices at clinical and legal risk. MedReception's AI receptionist identifies emergency symptoms, escalates to on-call staff, and logs the escalation for your Kareo records.
The AI listens for urgency markers during every inbound call. If a caller describes chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, or other emergency symptoms, the call is routed immediately to your on-call provider—not queued or transferred to voicemail.
Your practice defines how urgent calls should route: direct to on-call provider, to your answering service, to emergency dispatch, or to a clinic back-line. MedReception is configured to match your protocol exactly.
When a call is escalated, the caller's symptoms, urgency reason, time of call, and routing destination are captured and returned as a structured summary. Your staff review and add this to the patient's Kareo chart for documentation and liability protection.
Non-urgent calls proceed normally—AI handles booking, writes appointments to Kareo, and captures routine intake. Only flagged calls interrupt the workflow; everything else is frictionless.
Every escalated call generates an audit log: what symptoms triggered escalation, when the call was routed, and which provider received it. This record is available for quality assurance, compliance audits, and liability defense.

The AI listens for clinical urgency markers: chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, uncontrolled fever, loss of consciousness, or severe trauma. Callers describing these symptoms trigger immediate escalation. Your practice can customize the urgency criteria.
Your practice configures the escalation destination in MedReception: direct to your on-call provider, to your answering service, to emergency dispatch (911), or to a back-line clinic phone. The AI routes according to your protocol.
Yes. You can configure different escalation destinations for business hours, after-hours, weekends, and holidays. During business hours, urgent calls might route to your clinical staff; after-hours they route to your on-call provider or answering service.
Yes. Every escalated call generates a log entry: caller phone number, symptoms reported, time of escalation, routing destination, and provider who received it. This information is returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and add to the patient's Kareo chart.
The AI monitors the entire call. If urgency emerges (e.g., caller develops chest pain during booking), the AI detects it and escalates the call immediately, even after it started as routine.
It depends on your protocol. An urgent call is escalated to your provider for real-time guidance. The AI doesn't force an appointment—your provider may advise the caller to go to the ER, urgent care, or schedule a same-day clinic visit.
