The Problem
Common challenges that cost you real money
These problems are draining your revenue every single day.
Missed Patient Calls
In CallRail's 2025 survey of 1,000 US consumers, 78% said they had abandoned a business after an unanswered call. For a clinic, that is a patient booking somewhere else.
High Receptionist Turnover
Medical receptionists face burnout from juggling calls, patient check-ins, and paperwork, leading to expensive turnover rates.
After-Hours Patient Needs
Patients call outside office hours, and every unanswered call is a booking or a question left hanging until morning.
Inefficient Appointment Management
No-shows and overbooked schedules can cost clinics up to $500 per lost hour, impacting revenue and patient satisfaction.
Industry-specific

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Rinqly for your industry.
A traditional medical answering service uses human operators who take messages and bill per call or per minute, often with a wait during busy hours. Rinqly's AI answers every patient call 24/7, books appointments directly into your calendar, and passes urgent calls to your staff: on plans from $49/month with minutes included.
Rinqly books into Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar during the call. It does not connect to EHR or practice management systems.
Yes, in English and Spanish (beta): set the receptionist to Spanish and it greets, answers and books in Spanish.
Transcripts and summaries are visible only to your account. Calls may be recorded and transcribed for quality purposes, and every call opens with that notice. Rinqly does not sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs), so HIPAA-covered practices should not use it for patient calls yet.
Rinqly is not an emergency service. A caller describing an emergency is told to hang up and dial 911, and calls you mark as urgent can be transferred to your on-call staff.
It helps: you can run reminder calls through an outbound campaign. Rinqly does not send automatic text reminders.
Rinqly's AI medical answering service starts at $49/month and scales with your call volume, with more included minutes on higher tiers: minutes included in a monthly plan ($0.35/min beyond it), not the $1-$3 per-minute billing most traditional medical answering services charge.
