ModMed Triage
ModMed practices configure the AI receptionist to recognize urgent symptoms or patient requests and escalate directly to the on-call provider, eliminating call-backs and staff bottlenecks during peak hours.
Instead of an urgent caller leaving a voicemail for the doctor or waiting for a staff callback, the AI identifies the urgency and patches them to the on-call provider immediately. Provider makes the triage decision live.
Your front desk no longer interrupts routine calls to handle urgent escalations. The AI handles urgent screening, so staff can book appointments, take insurance information, and manage the normal workflow.
The on-call provider hears the patient's voice, tone, and concerns directly. No filter, no translation loss, no delayed callback that leaves the patient anxious.
Every urgent call is recognized, escalated, and answered. Your practice reduces the risk of a missed urgent case that becomes a patient safety issue.
Urgent keyword recognition
AI identifies severe pain, breathing difficulty, chest pain, falls, acute changes, and patient urgency
Direct provider escalation
Urgent calls route to on-call provider or urgent queue without staff delay
Live triage decision
Provider makes same-day, ER, or advice decision while patient is on the line
Urgent call recognition and escalation
Every urgent symptom recognized and escalated—routine calls remain in the routine queue
The AI is configured with your practice's urgent protocols—typically severe pain, difficulty breathing, chest pain, bleeding, falls, acute neurological changes, or symptoms consistent with sepsis. You customize the list during setup.
The AI asks clarifying questions: "Are you in severe pain?" "Are you having trouble breathing?" If the caller hesitates or sounds distressed, the AI flags it as potentially urgent and escalates to the provider. Your clinical staff want to be the gatekeepers here, not the AI.
You configure the on-call provider's direct line or ModMed's urgent callback number in the system. The AI routes urgent calls there. If no provider is available (e.g., after hours with no on-call), the AI offers ER referral or advises the patient to call 911.
The provider hears the live call and can access any intake context the AI gathered before escalation. Your ModMed record is updated in real time, so the provider can see any prior history.
The on-call provider makes that call. If it's non-urgent, the provider can advise the patient, schedule a routine visit, or close the call. Better to escalate a false alarm than miss a real urgent case.
