Kareo + Retention

Capture cancellations and reschedules instantly; identify no-shows before they happen

AI receptionist processes cancellations and reschedules in real time, instantly updates Kareo availability, and sends reminder calls to high-risk no-show appointments—all tied to Kareo scheduling data.

How it pays back

No-Show Risk Identified Before Appointment

Instead of discovering empty chairs at scheduled time, the AI identifies at-risk patients based on history and engagement signals, calls proactively, and reschedules before the slot goes unused.

Cancellations Immediately Return Slots

Patient calls to cancel; Kareo slot is instantly available. Your next caller can book the same time. No gaps, no manual updates—everything in sync.

Reason Capture for Recall and Trend Analysis

Why did the patient cancel? 'Transportation', 'Forgot', 'Rescheduled elsewhere'—each reason is logged in Kareo. Over time, you spot trends and adjust operations or patient communication accordingly.

Reduced Chair Downtime

Fewer no-shows and last-minute cancellations mean your clinicians' schedules stay full. Waitlist fills cancel holes before they happen.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know which appointments are 'high-risk' for no-shows?

The AI analyzes patient history in Kareo: prior no-shows, last-minute bookings, unstable contact information, or gaps since last visit. Appointments matching these patterns trigger proactive reminder calls.

Can the AI reschedule a cancellation on the same call?

Yes. If a patient calls to cancel, the AI immediately offers available times from your Kareo schedule and can rebook in one call, with both the cancellation and new appointment synced to Kareo.

What happens if a patient doesn't answer the reminder call?

If the reminder reaches voicemail, the AI leaves a callback request. If not reached after one attempt, the call is escalated to your staff for manual follow-up or SMS confirmation.

Does the cancellation reason stay in Kareo?

Yes. The cancellation is logged in the appointment note or your system-specific field with reason and timestamp. You can filter and trend cancellations for process improvement or patient communication strategies.

Can the AI handle complex reschedule scenarios (e.g., needs a different provider or location)?

Yes. The AI checks multiple providers and locations in Kareo, offers options with available times, and confirms the rebook with the patient before updating Kareo.
