WhatsApp AI Bot for Healthcare: Reduce Front Desk Call Volume

Your dental office gets 50 calls a day. Half are the same questions: 'Do you accept my insurance?' 'What time do you open?' 'How do I prepare for my cleaning?' Your front desk is overwhelmed. A WhatsApp bot answers these instantly, freeing your staff for patient care.

Here is What That Looks Like

Customer
Do you accept Delta Dental insurance?
AI Bot
Yes, we accept Delta Dental PPO and Delta Dental Premier plans. We also accept Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, and most major dental insurance providers. Would you like to schedule an appointment?
Customer
Yes, I need a teeth cleaning. What should I know beforehand?
AI Bot
For a routine cleaning, just brush and floss normally beforehand. The appointment takes about 45-60 minutes. Please arrive 10 minutes early for paperwork if you are a new patient. Would you like to request an appointment time? Our team will confirm availability.

Real conversation example. The bot answers questions, collects info, and hands off to your team when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the bot handle medical information?

The bot answers general questions about services, insurance, hours, and preparation instructions. It does not access patient records, provide diagnoses, or give medical advice.

Is it HIPAA compliant?

The bot does not access or store protected health information (PHI). It answers general questions only. For HIPAA-sensitive communications, consult your compliance team about using messaging platforms.

How much does it cost?

$30/mo for RunMyClaw hosting plus $3-8/mo in API costs. Compare that to the cost of a front desk employee spending hours on routine calls.

Can it send appointment reminders?

The AI can respond to appointment questions but does not integrate with scheduling systems. For automated reminders, you would still use your practice management software.
