Revenue
Fresno practices lose revenue when patients cancel or don't show. AI calls waiting-list patients within minutes to backfill open slots before the day ends.
When a patient cancels with short notice, that slot is usually lost revenue. The AI fills it in minutes, often with a patient who wanted an earlier appointment anyway.
Your front desk doesn't spend an hour calling down a waitlist. The AI does the calling and confirmation; staff just prep the confirmed appointments.
Waitlist patients are thrilled to get a call offering an earlier appointment. Acceptance rates are high because they wanted to be seen sooner.
The AI syncs with your EMR in real time. Appointments are added to the actual schedule, not a spreadsheet, so no overbooking or conflicts.

You set rules in your EMR: call patients with no appointment preference first, then those seeking a specific time range, then those who requested the soonest opening. The AI respects patient communication preferences and do-not-call flags.
The AI pulls the patient's current location from your EMR before calling. If they're at another clinic or in the middle of an appointment, they are skipped and the next patient is called.
Yes. The AI can ask, 'A slot just opened at 2:15 p.m. today. Can you be here in 45 minutes?' and listen for confirmation before booking.
No. The AI is calling patients who are already on your waitlist and have consented to be contacted about appointment availability. Calls are warm, conversational, and from your practice number—not a robocall.
The AI logs the attempt and tries again within a set window (e.g., 15 minutes later). If multiple patients decline, it moves to the next on the list. You can set retry logic to match your practice workflow.
