Stop losing migraine referrals to unanswered phones—every call inquiry routed, captured, and scheduled

Migraine referrals come from PCPs, emergency departments, and self-referrals. Missed calls and slow callbacks result in patients going to competitors. MedReception answers every call, captures patient details, and schedules the first appointment—no lost referrals.

How it pays back

Referrals don't bounce to competitors

A PCP sends a migraine referral at 3 PM. Busy office phone? MedReception answers, schedules the patient, and you gain a new panel member instead of losing to the next clinic they call.

Referral source data informs marketing

Track which PCPs send the most migraine patients. Use that data to strengthen relationships with high-referral sources or build outreach to low-referral ones.

First-call conversion higher

Patient calls with intent to book. If they reach the AI and get scheduled in that call, they show up. If they hit voicemail and have to call back later, many don't.

New patient volume grows without extra staff

Answering every call and converting it to a booking happens automatically. Your front desk isn't answering 100 calls to convert 10 into appointments—the AI does the answering and routing.

Every call answered

No voicemail queue; referrals and self-referred patients reach your scheduling system

Referral source tracked

Know which providers, ERs, and sources send migraine patients; attribute new panel growth

Appointment scheduled on call

Patient intent converts to booking immediately; no back-and-forth callbacks

After-hours capture queued

Calls after hours are logged and scheduled first thing; no overnight referral loss

Frequently asked questions

How does the system know if a call is a referral vs. a patient checking their appointment?

The AI's first question is 'Are you a current patient or a new referral?' Current patients are routed to check-in or reschedule. New patients are asked about their referral source (PCP name, ED, self-referral, etc.) and symptoms. This distinction shapes the intake flow.

Can I see which PCPs are referring migraine patients to my clinic?

Yes. Every call logs the referral source. Your admin dashboard shows which providers/EDs sent patients, how many converted to appointments, and which scheduled vs. didn't show. Use this to thank high-referral PCPs and build relationships.

What if my migraine slots are full when a referral calls?

The AI offers available times or schedules the patient on a waitlist. If nothing is open in the next week, a callback is scheduled for a staff member to discuss options or place the patient on a cancellation list. The referral isn't lost; it's queued.

Does insurance verification happen on the referral call?

The AI can ask insurance information and capture it during the call. Insurance details are handed to your staff for verification before the appointment. This keeps the call quick while ensuring coverage is confirmed.

How fast can a self-referred migraine patient get scheduled?

If you have availability, they're scheduled in the same call (typically within minutes). If not, the AI offers the next open time or a callback option. Either way, the patient is in your system and an appointment is confirmed—no follow-up needed.
