The Benefits of a Pharmaceutical Call Answering Service

Many people rely on pharmacies, whether they're sick or need medication to live comfortably. With the number of people you serve, a call answering service can be the ideal solution for handling your work and keeping your customers satisfied.

Focus on Important Tasks

As a pharmacist, you have an important role — packaging prescriptions. Medications need to be properly dosed and packaged for user safety, but this can feel challenging to do when the phone is ringing off the hook. On top of these responsibilities, you also have to serve customers who stop by to pick up their prescriptions.

With a call answering service, your pharmacy can focus on the tasks that matter most. Let call agents take over the phone, so your team can stay accurate and efficient on the job.

Reduce Staffing Costs

When your phone rings constantly throughout the day, you might consider adding more people to your team to handle the workload. A new hire comes with steep staffing costs that your pharmacy might not have the budget for. You also have to dedicate time to onboarding and training — which is time you don't have to spare. Plus, constantly shifting call volumes often demand a more flexible solution.

Call answering services are a fraction of the cost of hiring new staff, so you can manage a high call volume with AnswerHero™ as an extension of your team.

Improve Customer Satisfaction

Your customers depend on you for timely and accurate services. When you're distracted by a ringing phone, you're more likely to keep people waiting at the counter and make mistakes in prescriptions. A team of committed call agents gives you the time to focus on customer service. Your customers receive their medications without a wait, and you can build a positive reputation for your pharmacy.

Why Choose AnswerHero™ for Pharmacy Call Answering Services

AnswerHero™ is a call answering service you can trust. Explore the many features and benefits of what we do.

100% Bilingual Call Answering

Anyone could need medication from your pharmacy, including Spanish speakers. Our call agents are 100% bilingual to make sure every caller is heard and provide the assistance they need. These bilingual services are included with every plan we offer at no extra cost

Our bilingual agents can also provide translation support over the phone. If one of your Spanish-speaking customers needs more information about their prescription, one of our agents can stay on the line and facilitate the conversation between you and your caller.

24/7/365 Operation

Your pharmacy may not be open 24/7, but customers can still call when you're closed. Rather than asking them to leave a voicemail, our call agents take messages outside of your operating hours. You get informed about all messages when you're back in the office, and your callers feel like their messages are being received.

Our around-the-clock operation also covers you during holidays and in the event of a disaster. If your pharmacy is unavailable, our call agents will keep callers looped in about the next steps.

Flexible Pricing

While our no-contract service is designed to make our services work for your changing needs, we also offer a range of call plans to connect you to the right type of service. Each of our plans includes bilingual answering and 24/7/365 operation to support your pharmacy.

Pricing for these plans is based on a set number of minutes per month. Our team can help you find the right plan based on your current call volume. These plans also include a cost per minute if you need to add to your monthly allowance. With no-contract service, you can also adjust your plan if you exceed your allowance more than expected.

Advanced Capabilities

AnswerHero™ call agents do more than answer the phone. Once they're on the line, they will determine what the caller needs and complete actions based on the instructions you provide. For example, for after-hours calls, our agents will take messages for you to access later. Our agents can also route calls to one of your experts when callers have questions about their prescription.

No-Contract Service

Call volumes change throughout the year, and you need a call answering service that changes with them. AnswerHero™ is contract-free to make your services accessible and adjustable as your needs change. Choose your plan monthly and upgrade or downgrade based on the level of support you're looking for.

HIPAA Compliance

In pharmaceuticals, privacy is essential to comply with HIPAA. Our agents are trained to handle medical topics, and will remain HIPAA-compliant for all interactions over the phone. We also store phone messages on a secure platform to keep customer data safe.

Virtual Receptionist Options

If you're searching for more branded over-the-phone support, our virtual receptionist option is an excellent choice. With this service, our call agents become a clear extension of your business with a unique greeting. This option makes your pharmacy more recognizable to people when they call, helping them connect with you.

User-Friendly Web Portal

Stay connected to every call our agents take with our user-friendly web portal. With this platform, you can access a call log, the messages our agents take and any appointments scheduled over the phone. We've designed our portal to be intuitive for use on any internet-connected device.

Quick Onboarding

When your pharmacy is overwhelmed with phone calls, you need a solution fast. AnswerHero™ has a quick and simple onboarding process to get you started with our services as soon as possible. First, we'll complete a 20-minute consultation to learn about your call requirements. Then, you'll create instructions for our agents, and we'll start forwarding your calls to our team. With onboarding complete, you'll answer every call, every time.
