- Will it try to give dental advice?
- No, and that is the sample worth listening to below. Asked whether a symptom is serious, it says it cannot answer that and offers to get a message to the practice. It answers logistics — hours, location, insurance, pricing, scheduling — and hands anything clinical to a person.
- Is this HIPAA compliant?
- We do not hold a HIPAA attestation or a BAA today, so do not route protected health information through it. It is built for the front-of-house call: hours, directions, insurance carriers accepted, pricing, and taking a callback message. If you need a signed BAA before going live, tell us and we will say plainly where we are rather than sell around it.
- Do I have to change my phone number?
- No. You get a new number for the assistant, and most businesses forward their existing line to it — after hours, on no-answer, or when the line is busy — and keep the number customers already have.
- What happens if it does not understand someone?
- It takes a message rather than guessing, and every call lands in your dashboard with a full transcript. Spot-check the first week — that is what the transcripts are for.
- What does it cost?
- $99/month includes 200 minutes, about 66 calls at three minutes each. Past that it is $0.55/minute, and there are larger plans at $299 for 700 minutes and $599 for 1,400. You do not have to guess your volume: each month you are billed on whichever plan works out cheapest for the minutes you actually used, so a busy month on a small plan stops at what the bigger plan would have cost.
