Rheumatology Phone Problems: Reducing missed calls with AI Receptionist Automation
Every specialty loses revenue when phones roll to voicemail or ring until patients give up. Practices span multiple time zones and rely on locums, so after-hours coverage is messy. Biologic refills, flare triage, and infusion coordination tie up lines.

How MedReception AI fixes it
Answer every line instantly
Katie AI greets callers in under one second, authenticates them, and routes by provider or intent without humans touching the call stack.
Summaries replace voicemail
Victoria AI transcribes, tags, and drops action items into your EHR or task lists so the team never chases scratchy audio again.
Escalation paths stay human
If the call is urgent, our automations warm-transfer to nurses with full context instead of cold-dropping patients on hold.
