Appointment Reminder for Healthcare Professionals

Patient No-Shows Cost Your Practice $150,000 a Year

Every empty exam room means a provider sitting idle, a patient's condition going unmonitored, and revenue that no amount of overbooking can fully recover.

23%
Average No-Show Rate

Healthcare practices average a 23% no-show rate nationally, with Medicaid patients and behavioral health appointments trending above 30%.

$200
Cost Per No-Show

The average physician practice loses $200 per no-show in unrealized revenue, adding up to over $150,000 annually for a typical three-provider clinic.

Sound Familiar?

Chronic-care patients with diabetes, hypertension, and COPD have the highest no-show rates — the sickest patients get the least consistent care

Front desk staff spend 8-12 hours per week on manual confirmation calls, pulling them away from in-office patient experience and insurance verification

Overbooking to compensate for no-shows creates waiting room bottlenecks that tank patient satisfaction scores and online reviews

How Appointment Reminder Helps

Purpose-built features for healthcare professionals.

Two-Way Patient Confirmation

Patients reply C to confirm or R to reschedule via text. Responses sync back to your EHR or calendar in real time so your schedule is always accurate.

📲

Multi-Channel Delivery (SMS, Voice, Email)

Reach elderly patients with automated voice calls, younger patients with SMS, and everyone with email — each channel configurable per appointment type.

🔒

HIPAA-Compliant with Signed BAA

All patient data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We sign a Business Associate Agreement with every healthcare account — no exceptions.

🏥

EHR & Calendar Integration

Connect with Google Calendar, Outlook, iCal feeds, and most EHR systems so appointments flow in automatically without manual entry by your staff.

"We went from 27% no-shows to 8% in the first 90 days. Our front desk reclaimed 10 hours a week they used to spend on confirmation calls, and our providers finally have full schedules instead of gaps between patients."
Dr. Sarah Mitchell
Medical Director, Bayview Family Medicine
