AI Voice Assistant costs — less than a front desk hire annually.
That's real budget your practice keeps — without sacrificing coverage. And unlike a hire, AI Voice Assistant is available around the clock from day one, with no onboarding, no sick days, and no turnover.
What AI Voice Assistant does that a hire can't
Cost is only part of the picture. Here's what your practice gets with AI Voice Assistant that a front desk hire can't provide — regardless of how good they are.
🌙
True 24/7 availability — including nights, weekends, and holidays
Patients call outside business hours. AI Voice Assistant answers every time, captures scheduling requests, and logs them directly in Tebra — so nothing falls through when the office is closed.
📋
Scheduling and Rx refill requests handled without staff involvement
The two most common reasons patients call are handled end-to-end — appointments booked and refill requests logged directly into your Tebra EHR, without a staff member touching the call.
📞
Every call answered, simultaneously — no hold times, no missed calls
A front desk person can handle one call at a time. AI Voice Assistant handles every inbound call at once — so peak hours don't mean a ringing phone going unanswered while staff are with a patient.
⚡
Ready from day one — no training, no onboarding, no ramp time
A new hire takes weeks to get up to speed. AI Voice Assistant is configured to your practice and live immediately — so you're not losing calls during the onboarding window a hire requires.
🔄
No turnover risk — ever
Front desk turnover is one of the most disruptive and costly events for a small practice. AI Voice Assistant doesn't give notice, doesn't need to be replaced, and doesn't take your patient relationships with it when it leaves.
The full picture
AI Voice Assistant gives a growing practice full phone coverage from day one — at a fraction of the cost of a front desk hire, with capabilities no hire can match.
