Scheduling
Patients expect to schedule appointments outside business hours. 24/7 AI reception books calls into your calendar automatically, capturing appointments when your front desk is offline.
A caller reaching voicemail at 6 PM will not be happy if they hear back at 9 AM the next day. They may already have called a competitor. AI-booked appointments are instant, confirmed, and sent via SMS. Patients feel heard and your schedule fills faster.
Manual callback scheduling creates duplicate entries, wrong times, and staff confusion. AI books directly into your calendar with full context (patient name, reason for visit, insurance eligibility). Your staff confirms and checks, but the heavy lifting is done.
When a patient cancels at 3 PM, your front desk may not call the waitlist until 4 PM—or not at all. AI-triggered cancellation callbacks reach waitlisted patients within minutes, re-filling slots that would otherwise sit empty.

Yes. The AI reads your EHR calendar in real-time and sees which time slots are open, blocked, or reserved. It will not book a patient into a time that is already taken or outside your clinic hours.
The AI can be configured to show only slots for certain providers, or to ask the patient their preference. If that provider has no openings, the AI can offer next-available or ask if another provider is acceptable.
Yes. After booking, the system sends SMS confirmation to the patient's phone. Optionally, you can enable reminder calls or texts 24 hours before the appointment to reduce no-shows.
The cancellation is recorded in the AI system and your EHR. The AI can trigger an automated outbound call or SMS to waitlisted patients offering them the newly-freed slot within minutes.
