Primary care practices field dozens of inbound calls daily: new patients seeking appointments, existing patients with urgent concerns, and callbacks from labs or specialists. A single missed call loses a new patient to a competitor. Katie answers every call instantly, captures new patient information and chief complaint, and routes urgent calls to your on-call provider with a summary so your clinician can act immediately. Routine new patient calls are booked or queued; clinical concerns are escalated with full context.
Internal medicine practices field calls long after the front desk leaves. MedReception's after-hours AI receptionist, Annie, answers every call instantly, logs the patient's concern with urgency flags, and returns structured summaries to your team. Callbacks are queued by priority so urgent cases reach a clinician first, and routine follow-ups are scheduled the next business day. Your practice controls the routing rules; the AI handles the volume.
Internal medicine practices field heavy call volume during business hours. When your staff is booked, calls go unanswered and new patients hang up.
