47% Fewer No-Shows with AI Reminders

MediCore Health Network

47%Fewer No-Shows

MediCore Health Network operates 12 clinics with over 200 providers, handling hundreds of thousands of patient appointments annually. No-shows were a persistent and costly problem.

The Challenge

  • 1

    23% no-show rate was costing the network $4.5M annually in lost revenue.

  • 2

    Manual reminder calls only reached 40% of patients due to staffing limitations.

  • 3

    Schedulers spent most of their time on calls instead of patient coordination.

  • 4

    Cancellations weren't captured quickly enough to fill open slots from waitlists.

The Solution

  • AI agents call patients 48 hours and 2 hours before every appointment.

  • On-the-spot rescheduling for patients who can't make their original time.

  • Confirmed cancellations automatically open slots for waitlisted patients.

  • Freed 6 FTE schedulers to focus on complex scheduling and patient support.
