Detailed Process coming soon!
Private physicians, dentists, and group medical offices have often been working with Company Co. to help with scheduling appointments for patients. Company Co. has a large group of customer service agents that use a variety of tools, depending on the doctor’s office, to manage the task of scheduling appointments. They are responsible for matching availability and patient requests.
A single customer service agent often is responsible for 5-15 different doctor’s offices, located throughout the country. Their goal is to handle booking and rebooking appointments efficiently and in a friendly manner, including handling new patient intake, validating insurance information, and making reminder phone calls.
