What do missed calls cost your practice?

880 calls × 25% missed × 40% wanting an appointment × 60% booking when answered × $300 per visit, plus 4 minutes of front desk time for each missed call. First visits only: it doesn't count treatment, recalls or a patient's lifetime value, so the real figure is usually higher.

Not sure how many calls you miss? Most phone systems show unanswered and voicemail calls in their call log. Our guide to finding and fixing missed calls walks through it in ten minutes.
