How It Works

Using your data, we deliver messages via telephone, text and/or email to your patients or clients. The process is quite simple, actually. You upload data that is exported from your scheduler, or you enter data online. Most of our clients create and upload their data file in just a couple of minutes every day. Many data exports can be automated. Once we receive your data, our system schedules and delivers your messages as desired. The results of your messaging is always available in online reports that are easy to use. There is no hardware or software to buy, and our redundant systems are far more reliable than any stand-alone purchased system.


What Do Patients or Customers Experience?

We use customized, studio-recorded scripts for every voice message. Texts and emails include fully customized content as well. Your patients will hear or see exactly what you wish. The patient name is included in the message using recordings from our name library or text-to-speech in the rare event we encounter a name that is not pre-recorded. Your reminders can include variable data such as provider, location, type of appointment, arrival time, appointment-specific instructions and new patient instructions. All of our messaging includes two-way interactive feedback options such as confirm, cancel, repeat and more. All you do is upload your data and Tavoca does the rest.


Why You Should Use Appointment Messaging

Appointment Messaging pays for itself in the first 2 or 3 days of every month. Appointment Messaging is appreciated by your patients and always results in fewer no-shows. Appointment Messaging rates are based on the number of appointment reminders and other appointment-related messages that we process each month. Rates start at 10 cents per appointment, with volume discounting as low as 5 cents per appointment. You can determine your Appointment Messaging cost with our online Cost Calculator. If you are comparing our service-based solution to a purchased system, we offer a number of advantages to consider, such as redundancy, no maintenance fees, minimal daily staff interaction, no downtime, no local phone lines required, no training or installation expenses, no warranty or failed hardware issues, no upgrade charges, and best of all, no hefty up-front purchase expense.
