Sleep Medicine
Sleep medicine referrals come at all hours. When your phone rings after hours or on weekends, a missed call means a lost patient. MedReception AI handles the entire intake workflow: instant answering, caller qualification, appointment availability check, and booking, all without your staff. New patient demographics and appointment bookings sync to your EMR. Structured intake summaries, including sleep history, symptoms, and referral source, are ready for your clinicians to review.

Sleep referrals don't wait for business hours. A caller who can't reach you will call the practice down the street. Katie answers every call instantly, qualifies the patient, and books an appointment into your open slots. Your team reviews the intake summary the next morning and prepares for the new patient visit.
Sleep-specific templates ask about sleep onset, maintenance, daytime somnolence, snoring, witnessed apneas, and relevant medical history. The AI captures these details in a structured format your clinicians can review and paste into the chart. Insurance information is captured on the call and handed to your staff for verification.
Katie checks your real schedule, confirms availability, and books the appointment. The booking and new patient demographics sync to your EMR and your calendar. Your staff doesn't reschedule or enter the patient twice.
You set which calls are urgent, which get offered next available, and which get a callback. You decide if a sleep apnea screening is routed to your pulmonologist or your primary care provider. You control the intake questions and the tone. The AI runs the workflow you build.

By the rules your practice sets, not the AI's guess

You set the escalation rules. For example, you can flag calls mentioning witnessed apnea or severe daytime sleepiness for immediate callback. Katie routes these calls to your team or to an on-call provider based on your protocol. Non-urgent calls are offered next available appointment slots.
Launch takes about one week from signup. The EHR connection and your phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Registering your number for patient texting takes about 5 business days. Your team works with our onboarding specialists to build your intake templates and set your call routing rules.
No. Katie captures the patient's sleep history and symptoms in a structured summary. Your clinicians review the summary, make the clinical decision, and determine whether the patient needs a sleep study, a medication adjustment, or a specialist referral. The AI routes and escalates; your team decides.
