When a patient calls your office, they expect to speak with a professional representative who can help them in their quest for care. Here at MAP, we have been serving physicians for 30 years with our live answering service for doctors. Our affordable plans all feature 24/7 receptionist coverage to help your practice provide the best healthcare possible.

Few things can be as frustrating to patients and other callers as being put on hold or sent to voicemail. When clients call the doctor’s office, they want to speak to someone at that moment. The last thing they need when they have an urgent question to ask is elevator music and a ten minute wait. Even in the instances when someone can answer the phone quickly, the conversation must be hurried more often than not to make time for other callers and in-house patients. If this resembles your situation even slightly, then you may be in need of some customer service assistance. But where can you find the right kind of help without going beyond your budget?

MAP COMMUNICATIONS PHYSICIAN ANSWERING SERVICES MAKE CUSTOMER SERVICE VASTLY EASIER AND MORE COST-EFFECTIVE THAN EVER BEFORE.

  • Are you tired of constantly listening through voicemails?
  • Do you spend too much of your day returning calls?
  • Do you waste too much energy on taking calls, scheduling appointments and answering general questions?
  • If your answer is anything less than a firm “no” to these questions, then MAP is the solution for you.

MAP Communication’s Physician After Hours Answering Service

Providers across practice areas have come to rely on physician after hours answering services. When such a service is in use, calls made to a doctor’s office are forwarded to a call center. There, callers are greeted by a live operator who has been highly trained in the practice’s policies and procedures. In fact, many callers never even realize they’re speaking with a physician answering service. Receptionists can provide information about the office, screen and direct calls, take messages, and, in case of emergency, connect callers with on-call providers.

Unlike an outdated phone menu, live operators can assess the caller’s needs and filter it based on urgency. For instance, if someone calls in with a serious medical emergency, a call center representative can dispatch the conversation to the on-call provider. If the issue isn’t a true emergency, the receptionist can direct callers to other resources. Best of all, these conversations are delivered with patience, empathy, and professionalism, no matter the time of day. This commitment to customer service is what makes doctor answering services so helpful.

What MAP’s Doctor Answering Services Provide

There are a wide range of functions that a doctors answering service can provide to improve your practice’s productivity while improving patient care. Options include:

  • After-Hours Emergency Support – An answering service for doctors offices can serve as the main point of contact for your patient’s after hours needs. Receptionists can field calls by following customized call scripts and decision trees. These tools help agents determine which callers need to be dispatched to the on-call provider and which do not.
  • Appointment Scheduling – Give your patients the option to book and manage their appointments on their terms. By partnering with a 24 hour physician answering service, you ensure your callers can reach your organization whenever they need.
  • Appointment Reminders – Set up an appointment reminder program to help reduce the number of missed appointments. Such a program can help guarantee that patients get the care they need on a timeline that fits their busy lifestyle.
  • Secure Messaging – Privacy matters, especially in the healthcare industry. Our doctors office answering service can ensure that messages sent to and received from patients are secure. This added security can improve patient trust and instill a sense of confidence in your practice.

Our physician answering service is highly customizable. Pick and choose which features you hope to take advantage of to best serve your patients. Whether you need help after hours, on holidays, or around the clock, MAP Communications has the resources your practice needs to deliver on patient expectations every time the phone rings.
