Dermatology

Dermatology practices field refill requests during patient care hours. Katie answers every call, captures refill details and patient history, and routes requests to your staff for clinical review and approval.

Dermatology offices receive prescription refill calls alongside new patient inquiries and appointment changes. MedReception AI answers every incoming call, captures the medication name, indication, quantity and refill history on the call, and routes the request with structured notes to your clinical team. Your staff reviews and approves refills in your EMR, while Katie books follow-up appointments or sends the patient to voicemail after-hours.

How it pays back

No Refill Calls Slip Through

Every refill request is captured on the call with patient context and pharmacy details. Your staff receives a structured summary, not a voicemail transcript, so approvals are fast and accurate.

Refill Requests Become Appointment Opportunities

Katie books follow-up visits or consultations while handling refills. Patients who call for a refill often need a skin check or procedure follow-up, and the appointment is confirmed on the call.

Clinical Control, No Autonomous Decisions

Katie captures and routes; your clinicians decide. No refill is dispensed without your team's review and approval in your EMR. You set escalation rules for urgent or complex requests.

Works with Your EMR and Pharmacy Workflow

Refill details are captured and returned as a pasteable summary for your staff to file and action. If you use athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech, ChARM or Amazing Charts, appointment bookings and new patient records sync directly to your chart.

Frequently asked questions

How does Katie handle a refill request?

Katie answers the call, asks for the patient name and date of birth, confirms the medication and indication, captures the refill count and pharmacy contact, and asks if the patient needs a follow-up appointment or skin check. She returns a structured summary to your staff with all details, and your clinical team reviews and approves the refill in your EMR.

What if a patient calls for a refill after hours?

Annie, your after-hours AI, answers the call and logs the refill request with all details. Your staff reviews and approves it the next business day. If the request is urgent (e.g., a post-procedure medication), Annie escalates it to your on-call provider per your rules.

Can Katie book a follow-up appointment while handling a refill?

Yes. Katie can confirm the refill request and book a follow-up visit, skin check, or consultation in the same call. The appointment is added to your schedule and the patient receives confirmation.

Does the refill information sync to our EMR?

Refill details are captured and returned as a structured, pasteable summary for your staff to file in your patient chart. If you use athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech, ChARM or Amazing Charts, appointment bookings and new patient records sync directly to your EMR.
