Revenue

AI receptionist that confirms pain appointments, sends prep reminders, and captures cancellations—reducing no-shows and wasted chair time

Pain clinics lose revenue to no-shows and last-minute cancellations. Our AI receptionist confirms every appointment at booking, sends multi-touch reminders with prep instructions, and captures cancellations in real time—ensuring your procedure schedule stays full.

How it pays back

Chair Time Not Wasted on No-Shows

Multi-touch confirmation and reminders mean patients remember their appointments. Missed slots are captured early so your staff can fill them from the waitlist.

Prep Compliance Improves Outcomes

Reminders with specific prep instructions help patients remember critical steps like NPO status or medication holds. Procedures run smoother when patients arrive prepared.

Cancellations Captured and Rebooked Immediately

When a patient texts to cancel, the AI logs it and your staff can immediately reach out to the next waitlist patient. Slot fills faster, revenue stays on track.

Staff Time Freed from Reminder Calling

Automated SMS reminders replace manual calling. Your staff focuses on clinical prep and patient care instead of reminder voicemail cycles.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI confirm an appointment during the booking call?

The AI reads back the date, time, location, and any prep instructions (e.g., 'NPO after midnight, hold aspirin for 5 days'). The patient confirms verbally and receives a confirmation SMS immediately after the call.

Can patients reschedule or cancel via SMS?

Yes. Automated reminders include a link or text-back option to confirm, reschedule, or cancel. SMS responses are logged in your MedReception portal and captured for your staff to review and file.

What if a patient misses the appointment despite reminders?

All no-shows are logged in your dashboard. Your staff can follow up to understand why and offer to reschedule. Patterns help identify patients who may need additional support or confirmation calls.

Can reminders include procedure-specific prep instructions?

Yes. Reminders can be customized by procedure type (e.g., 'Epidural: NPO after midnight, hold aspirin for 5 days, arrive 15 min early'). These are set by your clinical team in the MedReception dashboard.

Does the AI coordinate reminders with other staff confirmations?

Yes. If your staff does a manual confirmation call, the AI can hold off on automated reminders. Conversely, if the AI sends reminders, your staff knows the patient has been contacted and prep confirmed.
