AI receptionist for primary care practices

Handle high call volumes, urgent calls, and Spanish-speaking patients efficiently with an AI receptionist for primary care practices.

By the Catchsera team · 6 min read

Primary care practices often face high call volumes, urgent requests, and the need to serve diverse patient populations. Managing this efficiently while delivering excellent service can be challenging. An AI voice receptionist like Catchsera offers a practical solution tailored to the needs of appointment-based practices, including primary care. Here’s how Catchsera helps streamline communication and improve patient satisfaction.

24/7 call answering with no phone trees

Catchsera ensures that every call to your practice is answered promptly, day or night. Unlike traditional phone trees, it greets callers in a natural voice with your practice’s name and handles inquiries without frustrating menus. This means your patients get a seamless experience, whether they’re calling during business hours or after hours.

The AI receptionist captures essential caller details, including their name, callback number, whether they’re a new or existing patient, and the reason for their call. For common questions, such as your hours, location, parking, or accepted insurance, Catchsera provides clear answers based on your approved information.

Efficient handling of urgent calls

Urgent calls are flagged by Catchsera, ensuring your staff can prioritize them appropriately. For emergencies, callers are directed to dial 911. If your practice has an on-call provider or designated number for urgent matters, Catchsera can transfer these calls directly. Staff have the option to listen in or take over the call as needed, giving you full control over urgent situations.

This feature is particularly valuable for primary care practices where timely responses can make a significant difference in patient outcomes.

Support for refill and results calls

Catchsera routes refill and results-related calls to your staff for follow-up, ensuring that sensitive patient matters are handled appropriately. The AI receptionist never provides medical advice, maintaining compliance with regulations and safeguarding patient trust.

For additional security, Catchsera avoids asking for sensitive details like dates of birth over the phone. Instead, it sends a secure one-time form link via text, but only after the caller agrees during the call. This helps practices streamline their processes while protecting patient information.

Spanish language support included

Primary care practices often serve diverse communities, including Spanish-speaking patients. Catchsera includes Spanish language support in every plan. When a caller speaks Spanish, the AI receptionist seamlessly switches to Spanish for the remainder of the call. This ensures that all patients feel understood and valued.

Providing bilingual service can enhance patient satisfaction and improve communication, especially for practices in areas with significant Spanish-speaking populations.

Catchsera plans and setup

Catchsera offers straightforward pricing with all features included. Plans start at $129 per month, with options for higher call and text volumes to suit larger practices or clinics. There are no contracts, and you can cancel anytime. Every practice gets a 7-day free trial to test the service.

Setup is simple and takes under 10 minutes on your practice’s side. Calls are forwarded from your existing number to Catchsera after the third ring or during specified hours. Catchsera builds and tests your receptionist before it goes live, ensuring smooth operation from day one.

Catchsera is based in Massachusetts and serves practices across New England. It signs a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with every practice, meeting HIPAA compliance standards. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and the platform uses Microsoft Azure for secure hosting.
