But in reality, the price is just a fraction of the cost of hiring an in-house receptionist for 9 hours a day. For a cost effective price, WellReceived gives your callers an answer even outside of office hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellreceived.com\/services\/after-hours-reception\">phone calls covered 24\/7<\/a>, your receptionists can dedicate their time for other priorities that need their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How WellReceived 24\/7 medical answering service charges:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellreceived.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WellReceived<\/a>, your plan is defined by your call volume. Find out what call volume means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellreceived.com\/blog\/what-is-call-volume-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the benefits of outsourcing medical answering service? <\/strong>We offer plans starting from 200 minutes all the way to 1000 minutes. We send emails letting you know that your plan is 80% used up, and again when you reach 100%. We ensure that you stay informed of crucial billing and payment developments throughout the process.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All you need to do is take care of core healthcare matters without worrying about missed patient calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features included in WellReceived medical answering service plans:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Interactive Voice Response (IVR)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You get an optional IVR service up to double the minutes of your plan. For instance, if your plan is for 300 minutes a month, you get 600 minutes of IVR for no extra charges. The service is optional. IVR often filters spam\/bot calls from reaching our agents. It also advises callers to dial 911 in case it\u2019s an emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Appointment setting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid double bookings with an in-house appointment booking software. It facilitates easy record keeping and efficient follow up with customers. However, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellreceived.com\/services\/new-patient-intake\">appointment setting service<\/a> is entirely optional due to stringent HIPAA compliance laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Free Set up<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Getting on board with WellReceived is simple and free.<\/strong> There are no charges associated with signing up and installing the reception service inbound portal.
