Callers describe their situation, insurance, medications, and reason for seeking care. MedReception captures it all as a structured summary, not a voicemail transcript, so your clinician has context before the first session. Nothing is lost, nothing is transcribed wrong, and nothing requires staff to call back and re-ask questions.
You set the rules. If a caller mentions crisis, self-harm, or acute distress, the AI escalates to your on-call clinician, transfers to a crisis line, or flags the intake for immediate staff callback. Routine calls book into available slots. Every call gets the right response.
Mental health intake is emotionally demanding. Staff burnout is real. MedReception handles every call with the same care and structure, every day, without sick leave, turnover, or retraining. Your clinicians focus on care. Your staff focuses on clinical work, not answering phones.
Your practice is unique. We custom-build intake templates, escalation rules, and scheduling workflows for mental health. After launch, every edit is free. Your team has a real contact at MedReception who understands your practice and adjusts the system as your needs change.

You set the escalation rules. If a caller mentions self-harm, suicidal thoughts, or acute psychiatric distress, the AI can transfer to your on-call clinician, send the call to the National Crisis Lifeline, or flag the intake for immediate staff callback. Your practice controls the response.
Yes. The AI asks about current medications, past psychiatric diagnoses, therapy history, and reason for seeking care. All responses are captured as a structured summary, not a voicemail, so your clinician has full context before the intake appointment.
MedReception integrates with SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, eClinicalWorks, Elation, athenahealth, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, Nextech, ChARM, and Amazing Charts. Appointment bookings and new patient demographics write directly to your chart. If you use a different EMR, Katie still answers every call and handles intake; your staff enters bookings into your system. Custom integration available: want MedReception integrated with your EHR? We build custom EHR integrations; book a demo and we will scope yours.
Launch takes about one week from signup. Your EMR connection and practice phone number are ready in one to three days. Registering the number for patient texting takes about five business days.
Yes, and all edits are free for life. Your practice is custom-built, not plug-and-play. If your intake process changes, your escalation thresholds shift, or you add a new clinician with different availability, we update the system at no extra cost.
