Physical Therapy

Your front desk answers the phone all day. An AI receptionist can answer it instead, book PT appointments, and capture intake, so your team runs the clinic, not the switchboard.

Physical therapy practices in Mesa field constant calls: new patient inquiries, appointment changes, insurance questions, and referral routing. Every call your front desk takes is time away from patient care coordination and billing. MedReception AI answers every inbound call immediately, schedules appointments into your calendar, captures new patient intake as a structured summary, and routes urgent requests to the right staff member. Your team responds when ready, not constantly interrupted.

How it pays back

Appointment Scheduling Built Into the Call

Callers book PT appointments directly with the AI. No callback loop, no staff member repeating availability. The appointment syncs to your calendar immediately. Referral coordinators and therapists see new bookings without a single staff action.

Intake Completed Before the First Visit

Medical history, current symptoms, insurance carrier, emergency contact, and intake questionnaire answers are captured on the call and returned as a structured, EMR-ready summary. Your staff reviews it once and files it into the patient chart. No intake form delays, no missing information.

Urgent Calls Routed; Routine Calls Handled

You set the rules. Calls about acute pain, post-surgical concerns, or workers' compensation claims are escalated to the right therapist or manager. Reschedule requests, prescription refill follow-ups, and billing questions are handled by the AI and summarized for your team to address when bandwidth allows.

Custom-Built for Your Practice, Not Plug-and-Play

MedReception is configured for your intake workflow, your referral sources, your EHR, and your call routing rules. Your onboarding team works with you to set up specialty templates and escalation logic. Every edit and optimization is free for life. If you switch EHRs later, your AI comes with you.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI book appointments into our EHR calendar?

Yes. MedReception integrates with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech, ChARM, and Amazing Charts. Appointments sync immediately. If you use a different EHR, custom integration is available; book a demo and we will scope yours.

What happens to the intake information the AI captures?

The AI returns a structured summary of the call: chief complaint, medical history, current medications, insurance details, emergency contact, and any questionnaire answers. Your staff reviews it once and files it into the patient chart. The AI does not write clinical content to your EMR automatically; your team controls what gets documented and when.

Can we set rules for which calls go to our therapists and which the AI handles?

Yes. You define escalation rules. For example, calls about acute pain, post-op concerns, or workers' comp claims can route to a specific therapist immediately. Reschedule requests, billing questions, and referral intake stay with the AI unless the caller asks for staff. You control the routing.

How long does it take to launch?

About one week from signup. Your EHR connection and phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering the number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Your onboarding team handles the setup; no technical work required on your end.

What if we need to change how the AI handles calls later?

Edits and optimization are free for life. Your real onboarding team helps you refine intake questions, escalation rules, and call flows. If your workflow changes or you switch EHRs, those updates are included at no extra cost.
