Frequently asked questions

How does Katie handle a cancellation call?

Katie answers, confirms the patient's identity and appointment, asks for the reason (optional), and offers to reschedule or mark the slot as cancelled. The change is booked into your EMR and a summary is sent to your team. If the call involves an urgent concern (severe pain, medication issue), Katie escalates to your on-call provider or emergency number per your rules.

Will cancellation changes appear in our schedule right away?

Yes. Appointment changes are booked into your EMR within seconds. Your staff sees the updated schedule the moment they refresh or log in next. No delay, no manual re-entry.

What if a patient wants to reschedule but our next open slot is weeks away?

Katie offers available dates and times from your schedule. If no suitable slot exists, she can note the patient's preferred dates and send that to your team so staff can follow up, call a cancellation list, or arrange a waitlist callback.

Does this work after hours and weekends?

Yes. Katie answers 24/7. Cancellations and reschedules called in at midnight, 3 a.m., or Sunday afternoon are handled immediately. Your team reviews the changes during business hours.

How is patient data protected?

MedReception is HIPAA compliant, verified by Compliancy Group, and signs a BAA. Cancellation calls, patient details, and schedule changes are handled inside our secure system and synced only to your EMR. No third-party storage or data sharing.
