Functional Medicine

Every new patient inquiry answered and logged, whether your team picks up or not

Functional medicine practices field complex intake calls: detailed health histories, supplement lists, previous test results, and questions about your approach. MedReception captures every new patient call, day or night, structures the intake into an EMR-ready summary, and ensures callbacks happen without dropped threads. No more missed intakes. No more incomplete patient data.

How it pays back

Capture Every New Patient Inquiry

Functional medicine intakes are detailed. MedReception answers every call, asks your intake questions (supplements, prior testing, health goals), and returns a structured summary your staff can review and file. Nothing is lost to voicemail or a busy line.

Staff Callback Queue, Never a Forgotten Follow-Up

Missed calls appear in your callback dashboard with the full intake summary pre-loaded. Your team dials directly from the queue with all context ready. Escalation rules you define ensure repeat callers get immediate attention.

EMR-Ready Intake, Not Manual Data Entry

New patient demographics sync to your EMR automatically. Medical history, allergies, medications, and questionnaire answers come back as a structured summary your staff pastes into the chart. No re-asking, no transcription errors.

Portable Across Your EMR

MedReception is custom-built for your practice and EMR-independent. If you switch platforms later, your AI receptionist moves with you. Your intake rules, callback workflows, and phone routing stay intact.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to a new patient call that comes in after hours?

MedReception answers instantly, captures their intake (health history, current supplements, chief concerns, and contact details), and routes the call based on your rules. You can have the AI offer a callback appointment, route to an on-call provider, or add them to your morning callback queue. Either way, the intake is structured and ready for your team.

Does the new patient intake flow automatically into my EMR?

New patient demographics (name, date of birth, phone, email) sync directly to your EMR and are ready for an appointment. Medical history, allergies, medications, supplements, and questionnaire answers are captured on the call and returned as a structured, EMR-pasteable summary. Your staff reviews and files it into the chart; the AI does not write clinical data directly.

What if a new patient calls back a second time?

Repeat callers are flagged in your callback queue. You can set escalation rules so a second call from the same prospect triggers immediate staff attention or routing to a specific provider, ensuring no inquiry gets lost.
