Kareo + Efficiency

Turn same-day cancellations and no-shows into booked appointments automatically

When a patient cancels or doesn't show for a Kareo appointment, AI receptionist automatically notifies patients on the waitlist and books cancellation slots in real time—eliminating empty chair time and lost revenue.

How it pays back

Stop losing revenue to empty chairs

Every same-day cancellation is a chance to fill the slot. AI works faster than a human can call down a list, so more gaps get filled.

Waitlist patients love the flexibility

Offering last-minute slots improves patient satisfaction and reduces the anxiety of waiting weeks for an appointment.

Staff doesn't have to play phone tag

AI handles the outreach, qualification, and booking. Front desk only gets involved if a patient needs special accommodation.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly does the AI respond to a cancellation?

Within minutes of the cancellation being entered in Kareo, the AI identifies the open slot and begins calling or texting waitlist patients. Most gaps are filled or flagged for staff within the same hour.

What if a patient on the waitlist doesn't want the offered appointment?

The AI logs the decline with a reason if provided (too soon, wrong time, too far away, etc.). This data helps your team prioritize future offers or reach out again later.

Can the AI prioritize certain patients on the waitlist?

Yes. You can set rules so patients with longer waits, higher priority conditions, or specific preferences are offered slots first.

Does the booked appointment go straight into Kareo?

The AI captures the patient's acceptance with their name, contact info, and reason for visit. Staff reviews and enters the appointment into Kareo to confirm.

Can this work with multi-location practices?

Yes. The AI can monitor cancellations across multiple Kareo locations and fill slots based on patient geography or provider preference.
