Workflow
Migraine clinics lose appointments when patients call after hours and get voicemail. MedReception AI answers after-hours calls, qualifies the appointment need, checks your schedule in real time, and books directly into your EMR.
A patient with a migraine who calls at 9 PM usually needs help soon. Voicemail means they might call a competitor clinic in the morning, or reschedule. The AI books them on the spot, preserves the patient relationship, and fills your schedule.
After-hours calls typically go unanswered and become lost revenue. With the AI, those calls become booked appointments. No staff overtime; the system works while your team sleeps.
A new migraine patient books an appointment at 11 PM. By morning, their name, phone number, and appointment are already in your EHR. Your staff walks in to a populated schedule with new patient records ready to review.
If a patient sounds like they need same-day or immediate care, the AI can escalate to your on-call clinician or nurse line instead of just booking an appointment. You set the escalation rules.
Once an appointment is booked, the system can send immediate SMS or email confirmation, and reminders closer to the appointment date—reducing no-shows.
Real-time EMR sync
New patient names, phone numbers, and appointments write to your EHR instantly
Urgent case escalation
Red-flag symptoms routed to on-call staff or nurse line
Automatic confirmations
SMS or email sent immediately after booking
The AI integrates with your EMR (athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, ModMed). It queries real-time availability and books into your actual schedule—no separate calendar needed.
If the AI detects urgency (severe symptoms, complications, new-onset migraine), it can escalate to your on-call clinician or nurse advice line based on your protocol. Otherwise, it books the next available appointment and flags the case for morning review.
Yes. Cancellations and reschedules can be handled via SMS/email follow-up, through a patient portal, or by calling during business hours. Your staff can also modify bookings before the appointment.
Patients who book appointments themselves tend to show up reliably. Add automatic SMS reminders closer to the appointment, and engagement improves.
The AI can place the patient on a waitlist with their contact info, or offer a next-available appointment (e.g., 2–3 days out). Your staff reviews the waitlist during business hours and can call to confirm or prioritize urgent cases.
