Why General Dentistry Practices Choose Lapsed Member Re-Engagement Calls

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We don't diagnose clinical status — you define the list criteria (e.g., no visit in 18 months, no future appointment booked). We review your list source and consent records before launch, then run structured calls with approved scripts. Outcomes like 'schedule hygiene,' 'transfer to team,' or 'opt out' are dispositioned and routed to your CRM so your clinical team can prioritize follow-up.","question":"How does the AI identify which patients are truly lapsed vs. just overdue for hygiene?"},{"answer":"Every script includes an escalation path. If a patient asks clinical questions, requests a human, or says STOP/REVOKE, the call transfers live to your team or creates an immediate follow-up task in your CRM. AI disclosure is given on every call so patients know they can request a person at any time.","question":"What happens if a patient asks clinical questions the AI can't answer during a reactivation call?"},{"answer":"Yes. During setup we connect to the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. Booked appointments, hot transfers, and follow-up requests route directly into your existing workflow — no duplicate entry, no separate portal to check. The dispositioned contact list and completion report are delivered in a format your team can act on immediately.","question":"We use Eaglesoft/Dentrix/Open Dental — will reactivation outcomes actually sync to our schedule?"},{"answer":"Typically 1-2 weeks from kickoff to first calls. The timeline depends on list review (consent verification), script approval (you review and approve before launch), and system connection. The first campaign review is free, and the full quote — including one-time setup and monthly management — is known before you approve launch.","question":"How long does it take to launch a lapsed patient reactivation campaign?"},{"answer":"A part-timer means training, management, compliance risk, inconsistent hours, and no structured reporting. We run managed campaigns with rate-locked pricing (9¢/connected minute), AI disclosure and opt-out handling on every call, DNC logging across all campaigns, HIPAA-compliant standards, and a dispositioned outcome report with per-call notes. You pay for connected minutes only — no salary, benefits, or downtime.","question":"What makes this different from hiring a part-time front desk person to call lapsed patients?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Define the Reactivation Goal","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We start with a free campaign review: who you want to reach (typically 12-24 month dormants), what the call should accomplish (schedule hygiene, confirm interest, transfer to team), and what your list looks like.
