Incoming Call...

"Yes! We have Thursday at 2 PM available. I'll need your insurance information to schedule that for you."

The Problem

DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING CENTERS
MISS TOO MANY PATIENTS

You're losing patients every day your phones go unanswered. Referrals call after hours, no-shows waste scan time, and your front desk can't keep up. There's a better way.

You Miss Referral Calls After Hours

A physician's office calls at 5:30 PM to schedule an urgent MRI, and gets voicemail. By the time you check messages in the morning, they've already sent their patient to a competitor who answered immediately.

The Cost
$450/scan
Lost revenue per missed call

Your Staff Is Overwhelmed With Scheduling

While your tech is performing an ultrasound, five more calls come in. Insurance verifications, appointment requests, pre-scan instructions—your front desk can't be everywhere at once. Patients get frustrated waiting, and referrals go elsewhere.

The Cost
80+ calls/day
Per imaging center

Appointments No-Show and Scanner Time Is Wasted

Your MRI machine sits idle, your technician waits, and the patient never arrives. You send one reminder text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone. No follow-up, no reschedule, just wasted scanner time and lost revenue.

The Cost
25% no-show
Rate industry average
$162,000
