Book and reschedule patient appointments by phone and chat
See how Hello Patient’s AI scheduling agents book visits by call, text, or inbound web chat and handle reschedules and cancellations by call and text.

Overview
See how Hello Patient’s AI scheduling agents book visits by call, text, or inbound web chat and handle reschedules and cancellations by call and text.
Workflow
Hello Patient deploys AI agents to book, reschedule, and cancel patient visits via phone, text, and web chat, routing them to correct providers and slots based on practice rules. The agents handle after-hours demand and integrate with existing EHR schedules. Human staff remain involved for complex requests, clinical questions, or when patients explicitly ask for a person, receiving transferred calls or conversation summaries.
Reported result
At Carbon Health, the agent answered 100% of after-hours inbound calls across 81 clinics with zero missed. Texted booking links resulted in over 10,000 appointments annually before EHR integration, with a 40% booking rate among recipients. These outcomes are attributed to Hello Patient's reported case study; independent verification of current performance metrics is not provided in the source.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Implementation requires mapping specific scheduling rules (visit types, durations, provider availability) and configuring escalation paths for human intervention. The system is HIPAA-compliant and SOC 2 Type 2 certified, necessitating a Business Associate Agreement (BAA). Pricing is custom and volume-based, not publicly listed. Integration speed depends on the existing EHR and practice management systems.
Try it
Act as a healthcare operations manager implementing Hello Patient's AI scheduling agent. First, define our practice's scheduling rules: list visit types (e.g., 15-min follow-up, 45-min new patient), provider availability, and location constraints. Identify which appointment types must be reserved for human staff. Next, configure the agent to handle inbound calls, texts, and web chats for routine bookings, reschedules, and cancellations. Set up escalation rules so the agent transfers calls or sends summaries to staff when patients ask for a human or have clinical questions. Before going live, run a dry run with 5 simulated patient scenarios (e.g., 'I need to move my Thursday appointment and book my son'). Verify the agent correctly checks availability, applies rules, and confirms bookings without medical advice. Only proceed to live deployment after staff review and approve the dry run results. Ensure HIPAA compliance and BAA are in place. Do not publish or send real messages until the dry run is confirmed.
