Appointment reminder automation is a snap with TeleVox technology! TeleVox delivers phone, email and text message appointment reminders to make sure each and every patient is reminded of their scheduled visit. Automated messages use patient-specific elements and two-way interaction to maximize response rates from your patients. In fact, recent survey results indicate that patients actually prefer an automated appointment reminder to a live call from your staff.

Results You Can Expect From Automated Appointment Reminders

  • Reduced No-Shows – The average provider reduces their broken appointment rate by 25% by using phone, email and/or text appointment reminders to connect with patients. Retain your planned appointment revenue!
  • Decreased Reminder Expenses – Postage rates continue to rise for mailed reminders, and you simply can't afford to have staff members manually call each patient. Automated appointment confirmations are delivered more quickly and for a fraction of the cost.
  • Advanced Notice of Cancellations – Cancellations aren't always a bad thing. Giving patients the option to cancel through an automated message prevents a potential hole in the schedule and allows you to fill that opening with another patient who needs to be seen.

How It Works
