Workflow

New migraine patients call in: AI captures demographics, medical history, and triage in one call, then writes the new patient record to your EMR

New patients calling a migraine clinic need to provide demographics, insurance, medical history, and chief complaint. MedReception captures all of this on the phone, writes demographics and appointment to your EMR, and returns a structured summary of medical history and triage for your staff to review and file.

How it pays back

New patient arrives with a complete EMR record

Demographics and appointment are already in your chart before the patient's first visit. Medical history and triage are provided as a structured summary for your provider to review. Your provider can walk into the room with full context—no delays for chart review or intake paperwork.

Your front desk doesn't manually create new patient records

The AI writes the new patient demographics and appointment directly into your EMR. Your staff verify insurance and file the clinical summary, but the data-entry grunt work is already done.

Red-flag first-time presentations are flagged

If a new patient calls with a severe first migraine or any red-flag neurological signs, the AI highlights this in the intake summary and can trigger provider review before the first appointment.

Insurance information is captured upfront

Carrier, plan type, member ID, and coverage questions are captured during the phone call and handed to your billing staff as structured data. Your staff verify coverage in real time; potential issues are identified before the appointment.

Frequently asked questions

Does the AI write the new patient record directly to my EMR?

Yes. The AI writes the patient's demographics (name, DOB, phone, address) and the appointment booking directly into your EMR. Insurance information is captured as structured data for your billing staff to verify. Clinical details like medical history, allergies, medications, and chief complaint are returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file as part of the intake note.

What if the patient is already in my EMR?

The AI checks for existing patients before creating a new record. If the patient is already in your chart, the AI pulls their existing demographics and only captures updates. The current visit and triage are added as a new encounter note.

How does the AI handle insurance information?

The AI captures insurance carrier name, member ID, group number, and plan type during the call. This information is returned as structured data that your billing staff can verify in real time with the insurance company or flag for follow-up. The AI doesn't make coverage determinations; it captures the information and hands it to your staff for verification.

What happens if the new patient can't pay or has no insurance?

The AI captures financial information (self-pay, uninsured, Medicaid, etc.) and returns it as part of the new patient summary. Your billing or administrative staff handle payment discussions and options. The appointment is still booked; payment terms are managed separately.

Can new patients update their information during their first visit?

Yes. The EMR record captured on the phone is a starting point. During the first visit, your provider can update any information the patient wants to correct or add. The AI intake saves time but your provider has the final say on the chart.
