Fresno, CA
Fresno practices use AI to send appointment reminders and confirmations via text and email days before the visit, then call patients the day before to confirm. Reduces missed appointments and frees staff from reminder phone calls.
Each no-show is lost revenue and wasted provider time. Confirmation reminders catch patients who forgot or had a conflict. The ones who still miss are rare exceptions, not the norm. Consistent occupancy means consistent revenue.
Instead of 'Is Mrs. Lopez coming tomorrow?', staff let the AI handle it. That's hours per week per clinic freed for patient registration, clinical support, or care coordination.
A text reminder 3 days out gives patients time to adjust. The day-before confirmation is conversational, not a script. If they need to reschedule, they do it then—one quick transfer to staff or immediate rebooking with the AI—instead of calling back the next morning in a rush.
You decide: 'If patient says they can't make it, ask for availability and AI reschedules if possible, otherwise flag for staff.' Or, 'Always escalate reschedule requests to staff for priority rebooking.' Fresno practices control the flow.

Front desk workload reduced
Zero staff time spent on routine reminder calls
Yes. Text reminders can be opted out via reply. Voice calls respect patient preferences (SMS-only, email-only, or voice). Your practice sets defaults and respects patient choices.
The AI can offer available slots immediately if your EMR is integrated. Patient picks a new time, and the appointment is rebooked in real-time. If no slot works, the AI can escalate to staff for custom scheduling.
Your practice decides. Option 1: Leave a voicemail asking them to confirm by text or call back. Option 2: Send a follow-up text reminder instead. Option 3: Log as 'no answer' and flag for staff to call personally if it's a high-priority patient.
Yes. Texts are sent over encrypted channels, and the AI receives HIPAA-trained consent before sending any message. Fresno practices receive a BAA covering all reminder communications.
