ModMed Workflows

ModMed practices get 24/7 call coverage that escalates urgent cases to on-call staff

AI receptionist answers after-hours, weekend, and holiday calls for ModMed practices. Non-urgent calls are logged; urgent cases are escalated to your on-call provider or triage team.

How it pays back

True 24/7 phone coverage

No missed calls, no full voicemail boxes, no patients hanging up. After-hours callers always reach a live handler.

Urgent cases routed immediately

AI screens for symptoms or complaints that need immediate attention and routes them to your on-call provider or urgent triage team.

Non-urgent calls captured and logged

Routine appointment requests, refill requests, and general questions are documented and queued for your morning staff to handle.

On-call staff spends less time on the phone

AI pre-screens calls, so on-call providers only take truly urgent cases—not every voicemail message.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which calls are urgent?

The AI is trained to recognize chief complaints and symptoms that require immediate attention—chest pain, severe allergic reaction, signs of stroke, etc. It escalates those calls to your on-call provider or urgent triage line.

Can the AI receptionist access ModMed's on-call schedule?

Yes. We configure the AI to follow your ModMed on-call rotation and route urgent calls to the correct provider or nurse line based on your setup.

What happens to non-urgent after-hours calls?

Non-urgent calls (appointment requests, prescription refills, general questions) are logged with caller name, callback number, and reason. Your staff reviews and returns them in the morning.

Do patients get a callback for after-hours calls?

Your staff calls back all non-urgent callers in the morning. Urgent callers are handled immediately by your on-call provider. The AI provides clear documentation so your team knows what action is needed.

Does this replace an answering service?

It can. Unlike a traditional answering service, the AI integrates with your ModMed schedule, escalates based on your clinical protocols, and doesn't charge per call—you pay one flat monthly fee.
