Frequently Asked Questions

SMS reminders reduce no-shows by 90% through timely notifications that patients actually read. With a 98% open rate within 3 minutes, text messages ensure your appointment stays top-of-mind. Patients can easily confirm or reschedule with a simple reply, removing friction from the process. Studies show that patients who receive SMS reminders are 4x more likely to attend their appointments.

The optimal timing for appointment reminders is: First reminder 48 hours before (allows time to reschedule if needed), second reminder 24 hours before (final confirmation), and optional third reminder 2 hours before for high-value appointments. Healthcare practices often add a 1-week reminder for procedures requiring preparation. The key is giving enough notice for changes while keeping the appointment fresh in mind.

An effective appointment reminder should include: Business name, appointment date and time, practitioner or service type, location (if multiple sites), confirmation instructions (Reply Y/N), and contact number for changes. Keep it under 160 characters when possible. Example: "City Dental: Appt tomorrow 2pm with Dr Smith. Reply Y to confirm, N to cancel. Call 09-555-0100 to reschedule."

Yes, you need consent to send appointment reminders via SMS. Best practice is to obtain written consent during patient registration, clearly explaining the types of messages they'll receive. For healthcare providers, ensure HIPAA compliance by limiting personal health information in messages. Always provide opt-out instructions and maintain consent records. Most patients welcome reminders as a valuable service.

SMS appointment reminders typically cost $0.10-0.15 per message. For a practice with 100 appointments per week sending 2 reminders each, expect to pay around $80-120/month. This investment typically saves $8,000+ monthly in prevented no-shows. Most providers see ROI within the first week. Volume discounts and monthly plans can reduce costs further for larger practices.
