Katie answers cancellation and reschedule calls immediately. The appointment change is recorded and booked into your EMR so your staff sees it the moment they log in. No voicemail backlogs, no manual data entry, no schedule conflicts.
When a patient cancels or reschedules, Katie records the reason and any notes. That context arrives as a structured summary for your team, helping you spot patterns and follow up with patients.
Katie routes urgent requests (emergency pain crisis, medication concerns) to your on-call provider or escalation number. Routine reschedules are booked and logged. Your team sets the rules, and the AI enforces them every call.
Launch takes about one week from signup. Your EHR connection and phone number are ready in 1 to 3 days. Our team handles the rest. After the pilot, switch to a reduced-cost annual plan priced on your actual usage once patterns settle after the third month.

Katie answers, confirms the patient's identity and appointment, asks for the reason (optional), and offers to reschedule or mark the slot as cancelled. The change is booked into your EMR and a summary is sent to your team. If the call involves an urgent concern (severe pain, medication issue), Katie escalates to your on-call provider or emergency number per your rules.
