The following figures are based on research from viable services, which shows that an appointment reminder system can effortlessly pay for itself in a very short period of time.

Our average daily cost to make manual confirmation calls is $100. Furthermore, various service bureaus and automated systems can make reminder telephone calls for 25¢ or less. Below is an adapted illustration of potential cost savings using automated reminders based on the number of calls our clinic makes a day (SpectraSoft, Inc., 2009).
