Use case

Reduce patient no-shows with AI confirmation calls

Every empty slot is lost revenue and a patient who didn’t get seen. HUM confirms every appointment by voice and text, handles reschedules on the spot, and flags at-risk slots while there’s still time to fill them.

No-shows are a follow-up problem

Most no-shows aren’t defiance — they’re forgotten appointments and unanswered reminder texts.

Empty slots can’t be billed

A no-show wastes provider time you’ve already paid for, and the schedule gap is usually discovered too late to fill.

Text blasts get ignored

A single unanswered SMS the night before is not a confirmation strategy. Silence tells you nothing about who will actually show.

Staff can’t chase every patient

Calling through the full schedule takes hours a front desk doesn’t have — so confirmation lists get triaged, and the wrong slots slip through.

How it works

How no-show prevention works

Confirm everyone, hear back from most, and act on the rest.

  1. Step 1

    Sync the schedule

    Tomorrow’s appointments come in through FHIR scheduling, CRM sync, or an uploaded call list.

  2. Step 2

    Confirm by voice and text

    Bea calls each patient and follows up by two-way SMS, inside quiet hours, until there’s an answer.

  3. Step 3

    Reschedules handled in-call

    Patients who can’t make it reschedule in the same conversation instead of becoming a next-day no-show.

  4. Step 4

    At-risk slots flagged

    Unreachable or unconfirmed patients are flagged as structured outcomes so staff can fill the slot from the waitlist.

What you get

Confirmation that actually closes the loop

The difference between a reminder and a confirmation is knowing who answered.

Conversational confirmations

Patients confirm, cancel, or reschedule by just saying so — the agent understands and records the answer.

Voice + SMS sequencing

Combine channels: text first, call non-responders, and stop the moment a patient confirms.

Retry logic & quiet hours

Unanswered patients are retried on your schedule without ever calling at dinner time.

Schedule-aware outcomes

Confirmations and cancellations write back through FHIR, webhooks, or your CRM so the book reflects reality.

Staff escalation

Complex situations — transport issues, prep questions — warm-transfer to staff with the context attached.

No-show analytics

Track confirmation rates, unreachable patients, and recovered slots per campaign, provider, or location.

FAQ

Common questions

How does HUM actually reduce no-shows?
Three ways: every patient gets a real confirmation attempt by voice and text instead of a single ignored message; patients who can’t make it reschedule during the call instead of just not showing up; and unconfirmed slots are flagged early enough for staff to fill them from a waitlist.
What if a patient doesn’t answer the confirmation call?
HUM retries on the schedule you set, follows up by two-way SMS, and leaves a voicemail if you want one. If the patient never responds, the appointment is flagged as unconfirmed so your team can decide what to do with the slot.
Can patients cancel or reschedule during the call?
Yes — that’s the point. The agent captures cancellations and reschedule requests conversationally and records them as structured outcomes, or hands off to staff for complex changes. A cancellation you hear about today is a slot you can fill tomorrow.
Does this work alongside the reminders we already send?
Yes. Many clinics keep their existing portal or text reminders and add HUM confirmation calls for high-value appointments, procedure preps, or patients who haven’t responded. You choose which appointment types get which treatment.
How do we measure whether it’s working?
Campaign reporting shows reach rate, confirmation rate, reschedules, and cancellations for every run, and each call has a transcript and outcome. Compare no-show rates before and after — the numbers are all in the dashboard, exportable by webhook or API.
