Why Choose a Doctor’s Answering Service?

Whether you are a doctor, dental, or healthcare office, using a trusted medical answering service can save your staff time and save you money.

Did you know that estimations put the cost of missed doctor appointments at near $150 billion in the US alone? No-show rates can reach 30% during certain times of the year!

Find a more efficient way to run your doctor’s office with our doctor’s answering service and appointment scheduling.

Appointment Scheduling & Reminders

Whether you prefer text alerts and email reminders, to automated voicemails, or even a real, live call to remind your patients about their upcoming appointment, a medical answering service is able to confirm or remind patients about their appointments.

When you’re responsible for a busy medical practice, not just any doctor’s answering service will do. You need the expert medical answering services that are HIPAA compliant and designed to support your patients, staff, and efficiency!

Use an online calendar to prevent overbooking and to give you instant updates – our agents can even schedule appointments on your behalf.

Always Be Available with Our 24-Hour Doctor’s Answering Services

Transfer your calls to us during lunch, while you are running errands, or on an overflow basis. Our agents are trained, ready, and available any time you need an out-of-office receptionist.

Plus, to save you money, we offer practices like the option of using our after-hours upfront greeting. Automated upfront greetings generally indicate that the office is closed, provide further instructions, and can be configured with or without press options.

Sample Automated Greeting:

“Thank you for calling ___. Our office hours are ___ to ___. For billing or general inquiries, please call back during our normal business hours. If you have an emergency or need immediate assistance, please press -1- now. Thank you.”

HIPAA Compliance Is Necessary for Your Doctor’s Answering Service

Aligning daily procedures to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is a requirement for all healthcare providers, including their medical call centers and all doctor’s answering services.

Always Answer understands the importance of protecting your patient’s information. Every agent goes through comprehensive HIPAA training and signs a confidentiality agreement at the beginning of their employment. Security measures are also put into place, ranging from building access to workstation logins.
