Mental health intake calls often come during off-hours or in clusters. Katie answers every one, qualifies the caller, captures their history and presenting concern, and books them into your first available slot, all while your team is in session or after hours.
Callers share symptoms, medication history, prior diagnoses, and insurance info on the call. MedReception returns a clean, EMR-ready summary that your therapist or psychiatrist reviews before the first appointment. No paper forms, no duplicate data entry.
You define what triggers an immediate escalation, safety concerns, active suicidal ideation, medication emergencies. The AI routes those calls to your on-call clinician or crisis line per your rules. Routine follow-ups and appointment reminders flow to voicemail or callback queues.
Your therapists and office manager stop answering intake calls and scheduling requests during sessions. The front desk team handles complex requests, insurance questions, and chart prep instead of fielding 50+ daily calls.
MedReception integrates with 13+ major EHRs including SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and Elation. If you switch platforms, your AI receptionist comes with you, no re-setup, no lost configuration.
