AI Front Desk · For Eye Care

A patient is calling.
Your front desk is
with someone else.

MedReceptionist answers every call to your optometry practice — during exams, at close, and overnight — books eye exams and contact-lens fittings, and handles the questions your staff would otherwise pause to answer. The new patient never goes to voicemail.

The front-desk pressure point

Eye care front desks balance the phone and the waiting room at the same time. The phone often loses.

On a full exam day, your front desk is checking in patients, processing vision plans, pulling frames, and fielding walk-in questions — all while the phone rings. A new patient who hits voicemail rarely calls back. MedReceptionist makes sure the phone is answered with the same care as the patient standing at the desk, every single time.

01 — After-hours capture

Patients call at 7 PM for next-day exams. Catch them.

Annual eye exam decisions happen outside office hours — after work, after dinner, after a search. MedReceptionist answers, confirms insurance, and drops the appointment into your calendar overnight so your team opens to a full schedule instead of a list of missed calls.

02 — Vision plan routing

VSP, EyeMed, and insurance questions answered on the first call

The most common reason a patient calls before booking is to confirm you take their plan. Configured with the vision plans and carriers your practice accepts, MedReceptionist answers accurately — turning a three-minute question into a confirmed appointment, without pulling anyone off the lane.

03 — Contact lens & glasses

Order status and fitting questions kept off your staff

Contact lens orders and optical inquiries generate high call volume with routine answers. MedReceptionist handles order-status calls, confirms fitting appointment types for new lens wearers, and routes complex prescription questions to your optician — without tying up your front desk on every call.

04 — Urgent triage

Eye emergencies routed immediately — no medical advice given

When a caller describes sudden flashes, new floaters, or an eye injury, MedReceptionist recognizes the urgency and routes the call directly to your on-call number or an available slot marked urgent — immediately, clearly, and within your practice's defined protocol. No waiting, no guesswork.

How it works

We learn your practice

Your exam types, vision plans accepted, contact lens protocols, hours, and tone. The AI is configured to sound like your front desk — not a generic phone tree.

We connect your line

Forward your number, or route after-hours and overflow only. Bookings sync into the scheduling system you already use — no new software to learn.

Every call answered

From day one, no caller goes to voicemail. New patients book on the spot. Your front desk can focus on the exam lane without the phone pulling them away.

Every unanswered call at an eye care practice is a new patient who didn't wait — they called the office down the street. MedReceptionist makes sure your practice picks up every time.

Common questions

The details, answered

How does the AI receptionist work for an optometry practice?

The AI Receptionist answers your practice phone line 24/7. It greets callers the way a trained front-desk staff member would, collects their needs, answers common questions about your services, vision plans, and hours, and books or reschedules appointments directly in your scheduling system — no hold music, no voicemail for new patients.

Can it book eye exam and contact lens appointments?

Yes. It integrates with your scheduling system and books comprehensive eye exams, contact lens fittings, prescription follow-ups, and other appointment types you define. It captures the patient's name, date of birth, contact information, and insurance details before confirming the slot.

Is it HIPAA compliant?

Yes. The AI Receptionist is built for healthcare. Patient data collected during calls is handled through encrypted, secure infrastructure and AI Scan Solutions signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with eligible practices before go-live.

Does it integrate with my scheduling or EHR software?

Yes. Appointments are written directly into your existing scheduling system — no double-entry, no message slips. Contact us to confirm compatibility with your specific platform before you start.

What happens when a patient calls after hours?

It answers — same as any other call. It responds to common questions, books the appointment on the spot depending on your preferences, and logs the call with a time-stamp. No new patient goes to a generic voicemail box overnight or on weekends.
