Kickcall calls patients with upcoming athenahealth appointments, reminds them of the date, time and provider, and confirms they're coming, so fewer slots go empty.
AI appointment reminder calls for athenahealth are outbound phone calls to patients with an upcoming appointment that still needs confirming inside your reminder window. Kickcall reminds each patient of the date, time and provider, answers approved questions such as arrival instructions, and asks them to confirm, one of the most direct ways to reduce no-shows.
Which athenahealth appointments receive a reminder call?
Upcoming appointments inside the reminder window you set that still need confirming, for the appointment types and providers you approve. Appointments that are already confirmed are skipped.
Does Kickcall replace athenaOne's automated reminder messages?
No. Keep athenaOne's automated reminder messages running. Kickcall rechecks each appointment before calling and only phones patients who still haven't confirmed, so they get a live, two-way conversation.
How far in advance are reminder calls made?
You set the reminder window, for example a few days before the visit with a second call closer to the day. Calls go out within your calling hours and the patient's time zone, with up to 3 attempts per appointment.
What information does the AI share on a reminder call?
The appointment date, time and provider, plus any arrival instructions your team has approved. Clinical questions are passed to your staff rather than answered by the AI.
What happens when a patient can't keep their appointment?
Kickcall records the reason and any preferred days, and flags the appointment for your front desk, so your team can rebook the patient and offer the slot to someone else.
No disruption to your current setup. We confirm access and compliance needs with you, and your team supervises every step
