Neurology
After-hours migraine emergencies don't wait for office hours. MedReception's AI answers every call, determines severity, and immediately alerts your on-call provider—with structured clinical summary—so urgent cases get treatment, not voicemail.
On-call neurologists receive an alert with structured call summary the moment a severe migraine call comes in—not hours later when checking voicemail. They can authorize ER transfer, IV abortive therapy, or imaging without recreating the patient history.
A migraine sufferer calling at 2 a.m. with status migrainosus is answered by a skilled AI receptionist who captures their story and routes them to your provider—not a dead voicemail box that guarantees a miserable night.
When your on-call neurologist can speak to a patient in real time—armed with accurate symptom severity and prior treatment history—they can prescribe aggressive outpatient management or triage appropriately instead of patients self-referring to the ED out of desperation.
Saturday and Sunday migraine crises are captured and escalated the same way weekday emergencies are. Your on-call schedule runs continuously without gaps.

The AI asks about symptom severity, duration, and any concerning features like sudden onset, visual changes, or neck stiffness. If the patient describes status migrainosus (migraine lasting >72 hours), severe intractable pain, or red-flag symptoms, the call is flagged urgent and your on-call neurologist is notified immediately with a structured summary.
The AI queues urgent migraine calls in a priority list that your on-call provider can see. They respond in order of clinical urgency. Severe cases are flagged at the top; routine medication refills wait in the queue for callback during the same night or early morning.
Yes. During the call, the AI asks about recent MRI or CT scans, current preventive medications (topiramate, CGRP inhibitors, etc.), and acute medications already tried. This history is structured and provided to the on-call provider so they don't repeat imaging or prescriptions.
Your on-call provider can authorize an ER transfer during the call. The patient is given ER instructions, and the provider can send a brief handoff note to the ED. All of this happens without the patient waiting on hold or repeating their story.
Yes. New patients calling after-hours are asked for basic demographics, insurance carrier, and pharmacy contact during the call. Their appointment is scheduled and demographics are recorded to your EHR. Their intake summary (symptoms, trigger history) is flagged for your clinical team to review in the morning.
The AI can be configured to page your on-call rotation or notify a designated provider via SMS or phone. Severe calls are escalated to whoever is on call that night. Routine calls are queued for next-day callback.
