Clearly, having a dedicated staff member to answer calls for scheduling appointments is expensive and likely won’t be 24/7 either.
An ideal solution is to find a web-based scheduling system. There are a bunch of great companies that provide plug-and-play systems that allow patients to login and simply schedule an appointment that is both available and convenient for them – and they can do this 24/7.
These scheduling software systems don’t run more than $500-$1000 and pay for themselves in terms of reducing admin costs and keeping patients happy!
