Callback & Intake

Capture the callback request, the patient's health history, and their reason for calling, all on one call, structured for your team

Functional medicine practices juggle callback requests from patients mid-protocol, new intakes, and complex health histories. MedReception AI answers every inbound call, captures the callback request and patient intake in one conversation, and returns a structured summary your staff reviews and files. No more missed callbacks, no more re-asking patients their supplement list or why they called.

How it pays back

Callback Requests That Actually Get Returned

When a patient calls to report progress on a protocol or ask about their supplement adjustment, the callback request is captured on the call, not lost in a voicemail or scribbled note. Your staff sees it in the queue, the provider knows exactly why the patient called, and the follow-up happens on time.

Intake and Callback in One Conversation

New patients calling to schedule don't fill out a clipboard in the waiting room; their health history, current treatments, and reason for visit are gathered during the scheduling call. Established patients calling for a callback describe their situation once. Your chart is ready before the appointment.

Functional Medicine Context Built In

MedReception AI uses specialty templates that ask about prior functional labs, current supplement protocols, dietary changes, and other context that matters to your practice. The structured summary your staff receives is already organized the way your clinicians think, not a generic intake form.

Custom-Built and Portable

Your intake workflow is built to match your practice, not the other way around. If you switch EMRs, your callback and intake setup moves with you. Your AI stays yours, and your staff keeps the same workflow they trained on.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which provider a callback request is for?

During the call, the AI asks which provider the patient is seeing or which protocol they're following. The callback request is tagged with that provider and routed to your queue. Your staff can also reassign or prioritize it. The AI doesn't make the clinical decision; your team does.

What happens to the intake summary after the call?

The structured summary is delivered to your staff via email, your patient portal, or directly into your EMR dashboard, depending on your setup. Your staff reviews it, verifies the information, and files it to the patient chart. MedReception AI captures and returns intake details for your team to review and file; your team controls what gets filed and when.

Can the intake template be customized for our functional medicine practice?

Yes. Your template is built during onboarding to match your intake workflow. You can include questions about prior labs, current supplements, dietary changes, or any other context your clinicians need. You get lifetime edits at no extra cost, so if your protocols change, your template changes with them.

What if a patient calls back multiple times or has an urgent issue?

The AI captures each callback request separately. Your staff sees the history and can flag urgent callbacks for same-day return. You set the urgency rules; the AI routes accordingly. Urgent calls are escalated to your team based on the rules you define, not on the AI's clinical judgment.

How does this work with our EMR?

MedReception integrates with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Elation, Cerbo, Hint, Tebra, ModMed, Practice Fusion, Jane, Office Ally, SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, Accuro, pMD, PS Suite, and Nextech. Patient demographics and DOB write directly to your EMR. The intake summary is returned as structured text your staff reviews and files. If your EMR is not on this list, custom integration is available; book a demo and we will scope yours.
