What is Outbound Calling?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outbound Calling is a feature that allows our virtual medical receptionists<\/a> to proactively call patients, leads, or contacts on your behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of waiting for the phone to ring, our team reaches out when a specific action is taken, such as a patient submitting a form, requesting an appointment, or when you provide us with a list of contacts to follow up with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a simple way to respond faster, cover more opportunities, and ensure no patient inquiry goes unattended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can WellReceived Receptionists Make Outbound Calls?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Our 100% human, U.S.-based receptionists can make outbound calls as part of your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outbound calls use the same pool of minutes as inbound calls, giving you flexibility in how you allocate support across your practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How You Can Trigger Outbound Calls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two primary ways to initiate outbound outreach:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. From a Lead List<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Provide us with a spreadsheet (a CSV file) of warm leads or patients who have engaged with your practice. We securely upload the list and begin calling based on your instructions and script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. From Email Notifications<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Forward lead or inquiry emails to a designated WellReceived email address. When we receive the notification, our team will place the outbound call promptly to follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
