VMA options: Human, hybrid (human + AI), and extended hours coverage—flexible to your clinic’s needs.
Setup: Small one-time fee, 2–4 weeks for onboarding, workflows, and training.
ROI sources: Fewer no-shows (2–4% drop), faster phones/messages, cleaner insurance data, quicker payments, and provider time savings.
Revenue boost: Even 0.6 more visits/day can add ~₹30K/month, often covering VMA costs (₹25K–40K/month).
Risks & fixes: Security rules (HIPAA, MFA), clear scripts, empathy coaching, balance AI + human oversight, and regular KPI tracking.
