Workflow
A single no-show costs an interventional pain practice significant revenue. AI-driven appointment confirmation calls, sent 24-48 hours before procedures, capture patient commitment and reduce no-shows—while freeing staff from repetitive confirmation calls.
A confirmed appointment 48 hours out is a committed appointment. If the patient can't make it, you have time to reach someone on your waitlist and fill that procedural slot.
Your schedulers aren't spending hours a day making confirmation calls. The AI handles it. Staff only reach out to patients who didn't confirm, not to everyone.
A personalized confirmation call from a practice-aware AI ("Hi, this is a reminder about your epidural steroid injection on Thursday at 2 p.m.") feels more caring than a generic reminder text. Patients feel the practice cares.
If a patient needs to reschedule during the confirmation call, the AI can offer available slots and book on the spot. No "call back to reschedule" friction.

Patient confirms, reschedules, or cancels in real-time conversation
Early cancellation capture
Cancellations flagged in time to fill the chair from the waitlist
Staff time freed
