Frequently asked questions

Does the system book appointments directly into my EHR?

Yes. Appointments are confirmed in your EMR calendar instantly, creating a two-way sync. Your staff sees the booked visit immediately and can pull up patient intake data.

Can I set rules for which appointments can be self-booked vs. require staff approval?

Absolutely. You can configure approval rules by appointment type, time window, provider, or patient status. New patients and certain procedures can be set to require staff confirmation.

How do reminder calls and SMS work?

You set reminder windows—e.g., 24 hours before and 2 hours before. The system automatically sends a call or text reminding the patient of their appointment and offering options to confirm, reschedule, or cancel.

What happens if a patient cancels through the AI?

The cancellation is logged in your EMR, and the time slot is immediately available for other patients. You can set the system to offer alternative times or move the patient to a waitlist.
