Efficiency

Stop re-entering caller data from intake forms into the EMR; let the AI do it on the call

Front-desk staff waste time typing new-patient information from forms or phone notes into the EMR. AI receptionists capture demographics and appointments directly to your system—zero manual re-entry.

How it pays back

Free up front-desk hours spent on data entry

Receptionists no longer spend time re-typing contact information and demographics. That labor is multiplied across dozens of calls per day. Hours add up to operational savings.

Eliminate transcription errors and duplicate records

AI capture is consistent. No misspelled names, transposed phone numbers, or duplicate charts created. Data integrity improves.

New patient is chart-ready before arrival

When the patient walks in the door, their record is already in the system with demographics locked in. Check-in is a greeting, not a data-correction session.

Reduce patient callback friction

Correct phone number on file from the intake call. Appointment reminders and follow-ups reach the right patient the first time.

New patient record auto-created

Demographics written directly to your EMR from the intake call

Zero manual data entry required

Staff does not re-type caller information into the system

Appointment locked in EMR

Calendar synced; no conflicts or double-bookings

9+ named EMR integrations

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which fields to write to my EMR?

Your EMR is pre-configured when you set up MedReception. The AI captures standard new-patient fields—name, DOB, phone, address—and maps them to your system's patient demographics screen. Custom fields can be added to your configuration.

What if the caller's information is incomplete or wrong?

The AI asks clarifying questions during the call to confirm accuracy. Your staff can still edit the record after it is created. Because the information is captured verbally on the call, errors are caught and corrected in real time, not discovered later.

What data does the AI write to the EMR?

The AI writes to your EMR: name, date of birth, address, phone, email, and appointment details. Insurance information, photo ID, medical history, allergies, medications, and symptoms are captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file—not auto-written to the chart.

What if my EMR is not on the integration list?

We support 9 named integrations: athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Epic, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, AdvancedMD, and ModMed. If your system is not listed, contact our integration team to explore options. MedReception is also EMR-independent—you can capture and export structured summaries for manual entry or future integration.

Does this work for established patients who are calling to book a follow-up?

Yes. For established patients, the AI looks up their record, confirms identity, and books the appointment. No new record is created. Updated information is flagged for your staff to review.
