Patient Onboarding

Capture migraine history, trigger factors, current treatment, and comorbidities during the first call—no forms, no follow-ups

New migraine patients often call without existing records. MedReception captures chief complaint, migraine onset and pattern, triggers, prior treatment attempts, comorbidities, and current medications on the call, creates the new patient record in your EMR, and books the initial appointment—all in one interaction.

How it pays back

Clinician has full migraine context before the first visit

Instead of starting from scratch at the appointment, your provider reads a structured migraine history—onset, pattern, triggers, what's been tried, comorbidities—and can walk in ready to move toward diagnosis and treatment decisions. The first appointment is focused, not investigative.

New patient no-show rate drops

Patients who spend time on intake, receive a confirmation text with appointment details and pre-visit instructions, and know they'll be understood are more likely to show up. The friction of forms and callbacks is gone.

Intake forms don't pile up unsigned

Paper or portal-based intake often sits unsigned or incomplete. Phone intake during the booking call ensures data is captured, consistent, and immediately available to clinical staff. No chasing patients for missing information.

Referrals and prior records are accessed faster

During intake, the AI asks if the patient has records elsewhere (prior neuroimaging, specialist notes, prior preventive therapy results). Staff can request records proactively, not after the patient misses their first appointment.

Frequently asked questions

What if a new patient is calling during an acute migraine and can't focus on detailed intake?

The system recognizes distress and can shorten intake, capturing essentials (name, phone, emergency contact, current symptoms, any red flags). A full history is taken at the first appointment or in a follow-up call when the patient is feeling better. Immediate vs. routine triage happens first.

Does the intake ask about insurance?

Yes, the AI captures insurance information during the call. Insurance details are returned as part of the structured intake summary for your billing staff to verify and file. Your team maintains control over insurance data entry and verification.

How long does new patient intake usually take?

A complete migraine intake typically takes 5–8 minutes. The AI moves through questions naturally and skips irrelevant branches (e.g., doesn't ask about aura history if the patient has never experienced aura). Patients can provide as much detail as they want; the system keeps the flow.

Can the system identify contraindications or drug interactions during intake?

The AI captures current medications and asks about allergies. That list is returned to your clinical staff as part of the intake summary. Your team reviews for interactions and contraindications before the first appointment. The system does not make clinical decisions about medication safety.

What if the patient's insurance or identity information doesn't match our records?

Discrepancies are flagged in the intake summary for your staff to address before the patient is seen. The appointment still books, but your front desk knows there's a verification item to handle.
