Neurology
A patient in status migrainosus calls your office at 2 p.m. while your front desk is on the phone with another patient. The call goes to voicemail. By the time it's returned, the patient has driven to the ED or worse. MedReception answers immediately, assesses severity, and routes the urgent case to your provider in real time.
A patient calling in status migrainosus or with concerning neuro symptoms is flagged by the AI the moment they describe their symptoms. Your provider is alerted instantly with a clinical summary. They don't learn about the crisis hours later from a missed voicemail.
Your neurologist can authorize same-day IV abortive therapy, urgent preventive adjustment, or imaging without the patient waiting on hold. Many acute cases that would have gone to the ED are now managed in your clinic or urgent care setting.
When a patient calls in a migraine crisis and reaches your provider instead of a voicemail, they're grateful. They don't question whether your clinic can really help them during emergencies. They stay loyal.
Your practice captures acute migraine revenue instead of losing it to the ED. ED transfers from a neurology clinic are a revenue and safety issue—your clinic should be the first call for migraine emergencies.

The AI asks about duration of the current migraine, pain severity (0–10 scale), any new or unusual symptoms (visual changes, weakness, confusion, neck stiffness), and medications already tried. Migraines lasting >72 hours, severe pain unresponsive to home care, or red-flag neuro symptoms are flagged as urgent and the provider is alerted immediately.
The AI holds the patient (or notes that they'll call back) and immediately notifies the provider with the urgent summary. The provider can pause with their current patient if needed, or call back within minutes. Severe cases are flagged as top priority.
No. The AI collects symptoms and history, but treatment decisions are made by your provider. The AI's job is to get the urgent case to your neurologist as fast as possible with complete clinical context.
Your provider can make that call during the conversation. If the symptoms suggest SAH, stroke, or other emergency, the provider can advise the patient to go directly to the ED and send a handoff note. The key is that your provider makes the decision, not the patient self-referring in frustration.
No. In fact, immediately routing urgent cases to your provider reduces liability. You're demonstrating that your practice takes migraine emergencies seriously and responds quickly. Missed voicemails, on the other hand, are a liability risk.
Yes. You have full access to call recordings and transcripts. You can audit the AI's triage decisions and provide feedback. Over time, the AI learns your practice's specific protocols for what constitutes urgent.
