Frequently Asked Questions
This calculator provides a reliable estimate based on the numbers you enter. The formulas are straightforward: we multiply your appointment volume by your no-show rate to calculate missed appointments, then multiply by your average revenue to estimate the financial impact. The actual savings depend on your specific practice, patient population, and how consistently reminders are used. Most practices see results in line with or better than these estimates.
No-show rates vary significantly by industry. Healthcare practices average around 23%, dental offices around 15%, mental health practices around 20%, and salons/spas around 25%. The overall average across industries is roughly 15-25%. If you're not sure what your current rate is, check your scheduling software's reports or divide your monthly no-shows by total scheduled appointments.
Studies consistently show that automated appointment reminders reduce no-show rates by 30-50% on average. Multi-channel reminders (combining SMS, email, and voice) tend to perform best. Most practices using Appointment Reminder see their no-show rate drop to 5-8%, regardless of where they started. The key is consistent, timely reminders sent 24-48 hours before appointments, with an option for patients to confirm or reschedule.
Plans start at $49 per month, which includes SMS, email, and voice reminders, unlimited appointments, and two-way messaging. Visit our pricing page for full plan details and to find the best fit for your practice size.
