How it pays back

Recover Lost Appointment Revenue

Fewer no-shows mean fuller schedules and higher weekly revenue. Confirmation calls prevent accidental missed visits.

Reduce Cancellation Burnout

Staff no longer spend hours on confirmation calls. The AI handles it, and your team manages escalations and reschedules.

Patient Respect and Safety

Reminders help patients remember important visits. Follow-up after a no-show shows you care about their health and absence.

Instant Rescheduling

When a patient cancels, they reschedule immediately to a new slot—no gap in care, no lost contact.

Frequently asked questions

When are confirmation calls placed?

You define the schedule. Standard is 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment. You can customize frequency and timing per specialty or provider.

What if a patient doesn't confirm?

That's logged in your PM system and flagged for your staff. You can follow up manually with a call or text, or configure the AI to place a second attempt.

Can patients confirm via text instead of voice?

Yes. MedReception can send SMS reminders that include a confirmation link. Patients click to confirm, or they can call to reschedule.

How does waitlist management work?

You maintain a waitlist in your PM system. When a cancellation occurs, the AI contacts the first person on the list with the new available time and books them if they accept.

What happens if a patient tries to reschedule but all slots are full?

The AI offers the next available time and explains the wait. Your team can also step in to discuss options—earlier locations, alternative providers, or being placed on a waitlist.
