Neurology / Intake

Capture migraine history, triggers, and medications on the new patient call—no paper forms, no office reentry

New migraine patients often have complex histories. MedReception captures frequency, triggers, prior treatments, current medications, and comorbidities during the initial call. Staff review and file into the EMR; charts are ready when patients arrive.

How it pays back

First-visit clinician time saved

Doctor doesn't spend 15 minutes asking about trigger patterns and prior meds. Chart summary is complete; visit focuses on exam and treatment plan.

Trigger and medication patterns visible upfront

Structured intake reveals whether patient has kept a headache diary, what abortive dose failed, or if preventive medication was tried but abandoned. Patterns inform treatment strategy immediately.

No chart gaps or re-entry

Patient history is captured once, on the phone, in your system. Front desk doesn't have to transcribe forms or email you missing details.

Appointment no-shows drop

Patients who spend time answering intake questions are more invested in the appointment. They've already told you their story; they're more likely to show up.

Structured intake completed

Migraine history, triggers, medications, and prior treatments documented during call

Chart ready at check-in

Staff review summary and file into EMR; clinician opens a complete record

First appointment time extended

Intake handled beforehand; exam and treatment plan get full focus

Patient context clear

Clinician knows trigger patterns and failed treatments before they walk in the room

Frequently asked questions

How long does the intake call take for a new migraine patient?

Typically 5–8 minutes. The AI asks about headache frequency, triggers, associated symptoms, prior medications, current meds, and allergies. If the patient is talkative, it can run longer; most calls are concise.

Does insurance information get captured on the call?

The AI can ask insurance questions and capture policy details, but this information is handled separately by your staff via the patient portal or front desk. Clinical information (medical history, medications, allergies) is returned as a structured summary ready for EMR filing.

Can I customize the intake for my clinic's protocols?

Yes. Your team defines which questions are asked, in what order, and what triggers a red flag (e.g., frequency >15 days/month, prior failed preventive, medication overuse). The intake script is built around your protocols.

What if the patient doesn't remember all their prior medications?

The AI notes what the patient recalls and flags it as incomplete. Your staff follow up before the first appointment, or the clinician fills gaps during the visit. No data is invented; gaps are recorded.

Is the intake summary in plain English or medical coding?

Plain English, structured for easy reading. Staff review it, add any notes, and paste it into the EMR alongside structured fields (like medication list, allergies, comorbidities). The system doesn't code diagnoses or populate clinical decision-making—that's your clinician's work.
