Psychology reception FAQ

Does Laneway handle Mental Health Care Plan and Medicare bookings?
Yes. Laneway asks whether the caller has a referral or Mental Health Care Plan and triages Medicare versus private bookings, then books the right appointment type with the right clinician in your booking system.
Can it route callers to the right psychologist?
Yes. Based on what the caller needs and your clinicians' live availability in your booking system, Laneway books with the right psychologist and appointment type — initial or ongoing session.
What happens with a distressed or urgent caller?
Laneway uses a warm, calm tone for routine bookings, but anything clinical, urgent or a crisis is flagged to your team immediately with the full call details so a person can follow up. Laneway is not a crisis line.
