Assign an appointment task to Kickcall in an Oscar Pro tickler. The AI phones the patient to book, change or cancel the visit, records the outcome, and escalates anything it can't finish.
Ticklers are how Oscar Pro teams hand out tasks, such as asking a receptionist to call a patient about an appointment. AI appointment tickler calls let staff hand those tasks to Kickcall instead: fill in a short appointment template, assign the tickler, and Kickcall makes the call and reports back on the tickler.
How do AI appointment tickler calls work in Oscar Pro?
Picture a physician asking for a follow-up in two weeks. A receptionist writes an appointment tickler for Tuesday or Thursday afternoons with Dr. Lee and assigns it to Kickcall. Kickcall calls the patient, books a Thursday slot in Oscar Pro, and notes "appointment booked" on the tickler before closing it.
Which ticklers does Kickcall handle?
Only Oscar Pro ticklers assigned to the Kickcall user that start with the appointment label from the template. Each one must name the task: book, change or cancel. Ticklers for other staff or without the label are ignored, and anything Kickcall can't finish goes back to the person named in the tickler.
What kinds of appointment tasks can ticklers hand to Kickcall?
Booking a new appointment, rebooking, changing a time or cancelling a visit, exactly as described in the tickler. Kickcall books or updates the visit in Oscar Pro during the call, and the conversation and outcome are recorded so your team can see what was agreed.
What should staff write in the tickler?
The appointment label, the task, any preferred days or providers, how many tries to make and who should take over. For example: KICKCALL: APPOINTMENT, Task: Book, Details: Follow-up with Dr. Lee, Tue or Thu afternoons, Tries: 3, If no answer, hand off to: Reception. The patient comes from the Oscar Pro chart.
Can Kickcall cancel or move an existing appointment?
Yes. When the tickler asks for a change or cancellation, Kickcall confirms the request with the patient, moves or cancels the Oscar Pro appointment, and frees the original slot for your team. If the patient would rather keep the visit, that answer is recorded on the tickler instead.
