Revenue
High-value procedures like nerve blocks and ablations are frequently cancelled or no-showed by pain patients. Automated confirmation calls and recall outreach for lapsed patients keep your procedure suite booked and reduce missed revenue.
Patients who confirm their appointment the day before are far more likely to show up. A confirmed patient is a treated patient.
When a patient cancels via AI confirmation call, the slot is immediately flagged for your staff to offer to patients on the waitlist. Your suite stays full.
Patients who haven't been seen in months often need a pain flare-up managed or a long-term procedure reassessed. Recall calls re-engage them, leading to new bookings.
Your team doesn't spend the week making reminder calls. The AI does it. Your staff focus on clinic operations and patient care.
Prep instruction delivery
NPO status, medication holds, and arrival details sent via voice and text; confirmation captured
EMR integration
AI reads appointment schedule from your EHR and logs confirmation status for staff review
By default, 48 hours before the scheduled appointment. You can adjust the timing. The AI confirms the patient's willingness to keep the appointment and delivers prep instructions.
The AI logs the cancellation, captures the reason if the patient offers one, and immediately flags the slot for your staff to fill. Cancelled appointments don't hold up your procedure schedule.
Yes. The AI delivers procedure-specific prep instructions: hold aspirin, remain NPO after midnight, stop gabapentin, etc. Your staff configure the instructions per procedure type in your EHR.
Your staff sets a recall window—e.g., patients not seen in 120 days. The AI identifies those patients and calls them to ask if they'd like to schedule a follow-up visit or discuss ongoing pain management. Interest is logged for your staff to book.
The AI leaves a voicemail with appointment details and asks the patient to confirm by calling back or replying via text, all handled inside MedReception, which is HIPAA compliant (verified by Compliancy Group). Your staff can also manually call if no response is received.
