Answering Services for Doctors & Physicians
Your physician's office is taking calls every minute to schedule appointments and answer patient questions. When call volume reaches its peak, many of your patients are left to sit on hold or redirected to voicemail. For every person sent to voicemail, there's a chance you could lose that patient from your roster and the revenue that comes with them.

Reduce Your Workload
Your team is busy with patient support, coordinating care and handling insurance matters. The ongoing phone calls are yet another responsibility that AnswerHero can help with. Call answering services for physicians ensure your patients are heard when they call your office, while your team focuses on other tasks. Reducing the workload for you and your team can help you improve the quality of care and the employee experience.
Boost Revenue
Doctors Office call answering services can lead to happier patients with improved communication and more focused care from your staff. With improved quality of service, you can increase patient retention and attract new patients to boost revenue. Better communication can also improve payment collection processes to support revenue growth.
Stand Out From Competitors
Many doctor's offices face the challenge of managing phone calls, and patients find it hard to get in touch with their physicians. Using a call answering service sets your practice apart. Your patients have an easier time contacting you and feel heard when they call your office. This fact alone can create a positive reputation for your practice and may help to bring in new patients and retain existing ones.
Enhance Patient Communication
Phone calls are a prime source of communication for doctors. When your team has to cover the phones, there's a higher chance you'll miss calls, and patients won't have their questions answered. Having a call answering system in place ensures you can answer every call, every time, even during the busiest hours.
Call answering professionals can direct calls to the right people to ensure patients get their questions answered by the most qualified person. For example, post-op care questions can be directed to a physician, and billing questions can go to the billing department.
Have a Reliable System During Emergencies
Every business needs a business continuity plan, especially physicians that provide essential health services. If your practice is unable to take calls or see patients due to a weather event or other emergency, call answering services are an excellent system to rely on.
During these emergencies, your calls will route to a call answering professional who can take messages, schedule appointments and alert current patients to your office's closure.
