Triage
Some migraine calls require immediate clinical attention: status migrainosus (migraine lasting >72 hours), severe pain unrelieved by home medication, or acute neurological symptoms. MedReception AI recognizes these red flags during the intake call and routes the caller directly to an available clinician or on-call provider—not to a callback queue.
Patients with continuous migraine lasting more than 72 hours are flagged immediately. Clinicians can triage whether to prescribe rescue treatment, refer to ER, or schedule urgent in-person evaluation.
Sudden vision changes, numbness, or weakness during migraine trigger clinical escalation. Patient is not triaged to a nurse or scheduled for routine appointment.
Patients experiencing their first severe migraine or a significant change in migraine pattern are routed to the clinician rather than assumed to be routine calls.
Urgent callers know whether a clinician will pick up the phone, call them back within a specific timeframe, or need emergency care elsewhere. No ambiguity.

No callback queue delays
Urgent calls connected to available clinician or on-call provider
The AI asks how long the current migraine has been going on. If the caller reports continuous migraine for more than 72 hours, the call is flagged as status migrainosus and escalated immediately.
The AI asks whether the visual symptoms are typical for the patient's usual migraine aura or different. If the patient says they're unusual, the call is escalated for urgent assessment.
Yes. The AI asks about the type of symptoms: pain level alone is treated differently than pain with numbness, weakness, or speech difficulty. The latter group is escalated to clinician immediately.
The AI informs the caller that a clinician will call them back within a defined timeframe (e.g., 15 minutes). If the patient cannot wait, the AI can provide guidance to visit urgent care or the ER and notify your on-call provider.
Yes. After-hours urgent calls are escalated to your on-call provider or answering service. The AI ensures urgent migraine presentations don't go to voicemail.
