Plastic surgery practices live in an unusual financial world. A reconstructive patient may owe a small copay, while the next patient owes $8,000 for an elective procedure paid entirely out of pocket, sometimes across a financing plan. When those balances sit unpaid, someone on your staff usually ends up making the call. That call is awkward, it eats time, and when it depends on someone remembering to dial, it often doesn't happen at all. Research on payment behavior suggests the problem is rarely refusal: an estimated 65% of customers pay on time simply because they received a timely reminder, according to Kapittx data cited by Awaaz. The gap is consistency. Automated and AI-powered reminder calls close that gap by placing polite, structured follow-up calls a few days before a balance is due and again if it goes unpaid, then logging exactly what happened. For 2026, we compared five solutions that genuinely handle payment and invoice reminder calls for plastic surgery practices, weighing pricing transparency, compliance posture, and how well each fits a practice handling both insurance and self-pay revenue.
#1 My AI Call Center — Calling starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume; most campaigns add a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, both quoted before launch. The first campaign review is free.
My AI Call Center (myaicallcenter.app) takes the top spot because it isn't another dashboard your billing coordinator has to learn. It's a done-for-you managed outbound calling service, owned and operated by AIQ Labs with a base in Halifax, Nova Scotia and an operating presence in Austin, Texas. You buy campaigns that the team runs for you, and for plastic surgery practices that means Payment & Invoice Reminder Calls built around one clear goal: calls placed a few days before a balance is due, with structured follow-up if the payment remains unpaid. The differentiator is list discipline. Before any campaign launches, the team reviews your list source, consent records, and calling windows, and tells you plainly if the list won't support the campaign, before you spend anything. Bought lists without clear permission records are flagged and, in most cases, declined. For a healthcare specialty where patient relationships matter, that posture is worth a lot. Compliance is built into every call: AI-generated voices are treated as artificial voices under the TCPA, prior express consent is required, AI disclosure is made on every call, keyword opt-outs (STOP and REVOKE) are honored immediately, DNC requests are respected across all campaigns, state-specific quiet hours are observed, and HIPAA-compliant communication standards apply on clinic pages. Outcomes come back to you as a named report with disposition codes (confirmed, opted out, no answer), per-call notes, and follow-up requests routed into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. The company states plainly: "We report what actually happened. We will never invent client logos, testimonials, metrics, or ratings."
Pros
- Done-for-you campaigns with the full cost known before you approve launch
- Rate locked before launch and never moved mid-campaign
- Strong consent and compliance posture, including AI disclosure and DNC handling
- No invented numbers; outcome reports reflect what actually happened
- Free first campaign review
Cons
- Not self-serve software, so teams wanting a dashboard they operate themselves may prefer a SaaS tool
- Only calls approved, permissioned, or reviewed lists
- Campaign requirements vary by location and consent status; practices are responsible for obtaining appropriate legal guidance
Best for: Plastic surgery practices and multi-location clinic groups (typically 1–200+ staff) that want payment reminder calls handled for them against approved patient lists, without building an in-house call center.
#2 InvoicifyAI — Pro plan $149 USD/month with 400 shared AI voice minutes (then $0.35/min overage); Invoice Reminder Agent included in Pro and Business plans. 7-day free trial available.
InvoicifyAI's Invoice Reminder Agent is built for businesses that need more than another automated email, and plastic surgery practices with significant self-pay balances fit that profile. According to its website, when an invoice goes overdue, the agent calls the customer, confirms the invoice was received, asks when they can pay, and logs a promise-to-pay date with the call on the customer's record. The sample workflow shows the agent restating the invoice number, amount, and overdue date, then scheduling a follow-up automatically if payment is still outstanding. The platform follows a four-touch cadence: a Day 1 friendly reminder call, a Day 7 follow-up requesting a firm timeline, a Day 14 escalation call that surfaces blockers, and a Day 30 final notice that routes unresolved accounts to your team. The agent stops when an invoice is paid and keeps invoice records and CRM history updated after every call. For a practice, that means a patient who says "I'll pay Friday" gets logged as a promise with a date, and your staff sees a concrete next step instead of a vague note. According to its pricing page, the Invoice Reminder Agent is included in the Pro plan at $149 USD per month (400 shared AI voice minutes, then $0.35/min overage) and the Business plan. A 7-day free trial is available. It's best suited as a voice follow-up layer on top of your existing billing process rather than a full revenue cycle platform.
Pros
- Conversational calls capture payment promises and blockers, not just delivery confirmations
- Clear four-touch cadence with automatic stop on payment
- Transparent published plan pricing and a free trial
- Full transcripts available for team review
Cons
- Shared voice minutes may run short for high patient volumes
- Not a full medical billing or revenue cycle platform
- Practices should confirm consent and calling-hour requirements for their state before launch
Best for: Practices that want conversational AI voice follow-up on overdue self-pay balances, with promise-to-pay capture, layered on top of existing billing.
#3 Callsy — Contact for pricing; the website promotes a free start option and a launch promotion.
Callsy offers an AI payment reminder agent (named Emma on its site) aimed at businesses chasing net-15 and net-30 invoices and failed card charges. According to its website, the workflow starts when a billing system flags a miss, then sends a short branded email with the invoice number, amount, and a one-tap pay link. If the account goes quiet, the agent calls, confirms identity, asks if anything is wrong, and either retries the card or texts a secure update link. Callsy reports that around 56% of overdue invoices clear from email alone before a call is placed, and it claims a 41% lift in on-time payments; those are vendor figures, not audited results. Two details matter for a medical practice. First, the card update flow: the agent sends a PCI-DSS-compliant payment link by SMS during the call, so card details never travel through the voice channel. Second, the compliance framing: Callsy states that for accounts under 60 days overdue this is standard accounts-receivable activity rather than formal debt collection, that it respects TCPA and GDPR, and that for 60-plus-day defaults it hands off to your collections vendor with a full call log. Callsy integrates with Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, QuickBooks, and Xero, plus systems exposing webhooks via Make or Zapier, and every touch logs to your billing stack. For a plastic surgery practice running patient financing or recurring treatment plans through one of those systems, it's a reasonable fit. The agent supports English, Spanish, and 40+ other languages with automatic detection.
Pros
- Handles both one-off invoices and failed recurring charges
- Secure on-call card update flow without exposing card details on the voice channel
- Clear pre-collections versus collections handoff boundary at 60 days
- Live demo lets you hear the agent before committing
Cons
- Performance figures (41% lift, 56% email resolution) are vendor claims, not audited numbers
- Billing system integrations skew toward SaaS and subscription tools rather than medical practice management systems
- Pricing is not published
Best for: Practices running patient financing, membership, or recurring treatment payments through Stripe, Chargebee, QuickBooks, or Xero that want email-plus-voice recovery of failed and late payments.
#4 Chaser — Compact plan from A$399/month according to Chaser's website; free trial available.
Chaser is an accounts receivable automation platform that includes Auto-call, a feature designed to reduce manual intervention when chasing late payments. According to Chaser, Auto-call lets finance teams schedule automated phone calls that deliver pre-scripted, text-to-speech payment reminders on the days and times they choose. Each call is personalized to the recipient, and because calls are placed on schedule, overdue invoices get followed up without waiting for someone to clear their to-do list. Chaser also supports a multi-channel approach, letting you schedule phone call, SMS, and email reminders in one system so reminders get seen without bombarding the recipient. The platform integrates with Xero and QuickBooks Online, which makes it practical for a practice that runs its self-pay invoicing through one of those tools rather than a full practice management system. Chaser reports that over 10,000 users worldwide rely on the platform to get paid faster. It's worth being clear about what Auto-call is and isn't. It delivers pre-scripted text-to-speech messages rather than holding a two-way conversation, so it can't capture a promise-to-pay date or answer a patient's question about a balance. For routine reminder calls on straightforward invoices, that's often enough. For a plastic surgery practice with high-value balances and patients who frequently ask about payment plans, you'll still need a human for the harder conversations. Pricing is subscription-based; Chaser's published Compact plan starts at A$399 per month according to its website, and a free trial is available.
Pros
- Automated calls remove the need for staff to dial manually
- Coordinated multi-channel reminders reduce over-contacting
- Accounting software integrations fit existing workflows
- Free trial available
Cons
- Pre-scripted text-to-speech, not a conversational agent
- Pricing may suit larger AR teams more than a single practice
- No medical or plastic surgery-specific workflows
Best for: Practices and billing teams using Xero or QuickBooks that want scheduled, automated phone, SMS, and email reminder sequences without manual dialing.
#5 ElevenLabs Agents — Contact for pricing.
ElevenLabs offers an AI answering service and virtual receptionist product, ElevenAgents, with a dedicated Collections & Payment Reminders configuration. According to its website, the agent places payment reminder calls on a schedule (pre-due, due, and past-due), delivers consistent scripts, and captures promise-to-pay dates and preferred payment methods without manual dialing. It can also answer routine billing questions on the call, such as balance due, invoice status, due dates, late fees, and payment options, then direct the caller to the next step. A useful feature for a medical practice is escalation with context. The platform states that when risk signals appear, such as disputes, hardship, or repeated non-payment cues, the agent routes the account to a human with a summary including identity confirmation, caller intent, and recommended next actions. That matters in plastic surgery, where a billing conversation about a large elective balance can quickly become a conversation about financing options or a hardship situation that a staff member should handle personally. The platform supports 30+ languages with real-time switching, connects to CRM, calendar, and ticketing systems, and works with your existing phone system without switching providers. On security, ElevenLabs states that data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with support for SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance, and EU Data Residency and Zero Retention modes available. Pricing is not published on the collections page, so practices should contact sales for a quote. It's a flexible platform option, best when you have someone to configure and maintain the agent.
Pros
- Highly configurable agent behavior and voice selection
- Context-rich human escalation for sensitive accounts
- Strong multilingual support
- Works alongside your existing phone system
Cons
- Platform, not a managed service; setup and maintenance fall on your team
- Pricing not published
- Outbound reminder calling requires careful consent and disclosure setup by the practice
Best for: Practices with technical or operations staff who want to build and configure a customizable AI collections agent on a flexible platform.
Payment reminder calls are one of the least glamorous and most cash-flow-relevant workflows in a plastic surgery practice. The right choice depends on how hands-on you want to be. If you want the calls placed for you, against approved patient lists, with compliance handled and a full cost quoted before launch, My AI Call Center is the strongest fit for 2026: campaigns start at 9¢ per connected minute, the rate is locked before launch, and the first campaign review is free. If you'd rather run voice follow-up yourself on top of existing billing, InvoicifyAI offers published pricing and promise-to-pay capture. Callsy and Chaser suit practices running patient payments through Stripe, QuickBooks, or Xero, and ElevenLabs Agents is the flexible build-it-yourself option. Whichever route you take, confirm consent requirements and calling rules for your state with qualified legal guidance before your first call goes out.

Frequently asked questions
Are AI payment reminder calls legal for medical practices?
Yes, with conditions. The FCC has confirmed that AI-generated voices count as "artificial" voices under the TCPA, which means prior express consent is required before an AI voice call. My AI Call Center treats this as a baseline: AI disclosure is made on every call, recipients can ask if the call is AI-assisted, request a human, or opt out, and state-specific quiet hours and calling rules are honored. Because requirements vary by location, industry, and consent status, practices should obtain appropriate legal guidance before launch.
How much do payment reminder calls cost?
It varies by model. My AI Call Center starts at 9¢ per connected minute, tiered by volume, with most campaigns adding a one-time setup fee and a flat monthly management fee, all quoted before launch. InvoicifyAI publishes the Invoice Reminder Agent within its $149/month Pro plan with 400 shared AI voice minutes. Chaser's Compact plan starts at A$399/month. Callsy and ElevenLabs require you to contact them for pricing.
Will reminder calls annoy my patients?
A polite, well-timed reminder usually does the opposite of annoying. Research cited by Awaaz suggests 65% of customers pay on time simply because they received a timely reminder, meaning most late balances are forgetfulness, not refusal. The key is structure: calls placed a few days before a balance is due, consistent scripts, immediate opt-out handling, and no repeat calls once payment arrives. All five platforms in this list stop or adjust contact once an account is paid.
What happens when a patient disputes a balance or asks about a payment plan?
That's where platforms differ. InvoicifyAI's agent logs blockers and promise-to-pay dates and escalates exceptions to your team. ElevenLabs Agents routes disputes, hardship, and repeated non-payment signals to a human with a summary including identity confirmation and next actions. Callsy hands accounts 60+ days overdue to your collections vendor with a full call log. My AI Call Center routes follow-up requests back into your CRM and can transfer hot calls to your team live. In every case, the sensitive conversation should end up with a person.
Do these platforms integrate with practice management software?
Integration depth varies. My AI Call Center routes outcomes, bookings, and follow-up requests into the CRM and scheduling tools you already run. Chaser integrates with Xero and QuickBooks Online. Callsy connects to Stripe, Chargebee, Recurly, QuickBooks, and Xero, plus webhook-based systems. InvoicifyAI updates invoice records and CRM history after each call. If your billing lives in a dedicated plastic surgery practice management system, confirm the integration path before committing.
How many reminder calls should a practice make on an unpaid balance?
A common pattern across the research is a small structured sequence rather than endless dunning: a call a few days before the due date, a follow-up if the balance goes unpaid, and an escalation or human handoff after that. InvoicifyAI's published cadence runs Day 1, Day 7, Day 14, and Day 30 before routing unresolved accounts to your team. Beyond that point, most practices should move to a staff member or a collections partner rather than more automated calls.
Why is My AI Call Center ranked first?
Three reasons. First, it's a managed service, so your staff never has to learn, configure, or monitor calling software; you buy campaigns the team runs for you. Second, its list discipline stands out in a category where that's rare: lists and consent records are reviewed before launch, and bought lists without clear permission records are usually declined, with the team telling you plainly before you spend anything. Third, pricing is transparent and locked: 9¢ per connected minute to start, no per-seat charges, no platform bill, and the first campaign review is free.
