How it pays back

No on-call provider misses an urgent call

Every after-hours call is answered and triaged by AI. Acute red flags are escalated to your on-call provider with full context—no voicemail lag, no missed pages.

On-call provider gets prepared before the call

AI escalation includes caller symptoms, medication history, and reason for urgency. Your provider picks up an informed call, not a blind page.

Routine after-hours calls don't disturb the on-call team

A patient calling to reschedule a routine visit or ask a simple question books into the next open slot without paging the provider. Your on-call team sleeps undisturbed.

24/7 coverage without hiring night staff

One AI receptionist handles all after-hours volume. Your on-call provider handles only true escalations.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know who to contact for on-call escalations?

Your clinic provides an on-call schedule—which provider is on call on specific nights/weekends and their pager, cell, or alert system. The AI uses this schedule and escalates to the designated provider. You can update the schedule weekly via the MedReception portal.

What if the on-call provider is already on the phone with another patient?

The AI will page or alert them, and they can call back when available. In the meantime, the AI maintains contact with the new caller, offers interim guidance, and retains all information for when the provider calls back. This way no call is lost.

Can the AI refer a patient to the ER instead of escalating to the provider?

Your clinic can configure ER referral criteria. For example, if a caller reports sudden vision loss, weakness, or altered consciousness, the AI can advise them to go to the ER immediately after capturing their location and emergency contact. The AI still logs this for your records and can notify your on-call provider if desired.

Do after-hours calls create appointments in the EMR?

Routine after-hours calls that result in an appointment are booked directly into your EMR schedule. Escalated calls create an alert or note for your staff to review and follow up with during the next business day. All call records and escalation reasons are logged for your records.

How much does 24/7 AI reception cost compared to hiring night staff?

We don't provide price comparisons, but AI reception is priced per call volume and integrations. Contact sales for a custom quote for your practice. We can discuss your current after-hours call volume and on-call burden to help you evaluate.

Is after-hours AI reception HIPAA-compliant?

Yes. All after-hours calls are recorded, encrypted, and stored securely under HIPAA protocols. You own the data, and it remains in our HIPAA-compliant infrastructure. Escalations and notes are logged with full audit trails.
