Call Coverage

Your sleep medicine practice misses calls during peak scheduling hours. AI Katie answers every lunch hour call, captures intake, and books the appointment before the caller hangs up.

Sleep medicine practices field heavy call volume during lunch when staff are stretched thin or away from the desk. MedReception AI answers every inbound call instantly, conducts patient intake on the call, screens for sleep study readiness and referral requirements, and books appointments directly into your EMR. No missed calls. No callback tag. Structured intake summaries ready for the chart.

How it pays back

No Missed Calls During Your Busiest Hours

Lunch hour is when new patients call. Your front desk is at lunch or handling walk-ins. Katie answers every call, qualifies the caller, and books the slot. Front desks field heavy call volume; missed calls lose new patients.

Intake Happens on the Phone, Not in Your Chart Later

Sleep medicine intake is detailed: sleep apnea screening, daytime sleepiness, medication list, CPAP history, referral source. Katie gathers it all during the call and returns it as a structured summary your staff reviews and files in the chart. Your clinician reviews it once, not twice.

Referral and Eligibility Screening Built In

Your practice rules determine what Katie asks: referral required, insurance types accepted, study type match. She screens on the call, so your team knows immediately if the patient is a fit. Complex cases are flagged and routed to a staff member.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow, Not Plug-and-Play

MedReception is custom-built per client. Your sleep medicine intake questions, your EMR, your routing rules, your lunch hour coverage window. Your team gets white-glove onboarding and a real support team. Edits and optimization are free for life.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if the patient needs a referral and doesn't have one?

Katie asks about referral status on the call based on your rules. If a referral is required and the patient doesn't have one, Katie can flag the call for your staff to follow up, or route the caller to your referral coordinator. You set the workflow.

Does Katie handle insurance verification?

Katie captures insurance type and plan name on the call and returns it in the structured summary for your staff to review and verify through your payer portal or phone line. Insurance information is captured on the call and returned as a structured summary for your staff to review and file, not written to the EMR automatically.

What if a caller has a complex sleep history or urgent symptoms?

Katie asks your screening questions and flags complex or urgent cases based on the rules you set. Your team is routed the call or a summary immediately so a clinician can decide next steps. Katie does not make clinical decisions; your clinicians do.

How long does it take to set up lunch hour coverage?

Launch takes about one week from signup. Your EMR connection and phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering the number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Your team gets white-glove onboarding throughout.

What if we use an EMR that's not on your integration list?

Katie still answers every call, handles intake, and books appointments. Your staff enters bookings into your EMR manually, and you receive structured intake summaries for the chart. Custom integration available: want MedReception integrated with your EHR? We build custom EHR integrations; book a demo and we will scope yours.
