BILINGUAL ON EVERY CALL

Your front desk shouldn't be on the phone all day.

Every minute your receptionist spends on a routine call is a minute they're not greeting the patient in front of them. And every after-hours call that goes to voicemail is a patient considering the urgent-care clinic down the street.

Swiftlee handles routine intake, appointment confirmations, and after-hours triage — with strict HIPAA-aware language and clear escalation rules for clinical urgency.

responsiveness shapes how patients rate their access to care — a peer-reviewed study found slower call answering was tied to patients feeling less able to get timely appointments (source: Griffith et al., Am. J. Managed Care, 2019).

How we handle your calls

Built for clinical front-office work.

We never give medical advice. We never diagnose. We capture what the patient needs, triage urgency by your rules, and route to the right place.

🩺

HIPAA-aware messaging

Trained scripts avoid PHI exposure. Messages route via secure delivery channels. BAA available on Scale tier.

🚨

After-hours clinical triage

You define urgency rules. Severe pain, bleeding, fever ranges. We follow them and page on-call providers when criteria are met.

📅

Appointment confirmations

Outbound confirmations the day before. Reschedule capture if patient can't make it. Reduces same-day no-shows materially.

🌐

Bilingual intake

Spanish-speaking patients get the same intake experience in their language. Critical for clinics in CA, FL, TX, AZ, NV.

FAQ

Medical & Dental answering, answered.

Can Swiftlee schedule and confirm patient appointments?

Yes. We follow your scheduling rules to book, reschedule, and take appointment requests, and deliver each one to your front desk in real time by email and SMS, with a recording and summary in your portal.

Do you answer calls in Spanish for our patients?

Yes. Every receptionist is bilingual. Calls start in English and move to Spanish whenever a patient prefers it, so Spanish-speaking patients get the same clear, professional experience.

Does Swiftlee sign a BAA for HIPAA compliance?

A Business Associate Agreement is available on plans that include it — multi-provider clinics typically run on Scale with a BAA in place. Talk to us about your practice's requirements before going live.

Can you answer after-hours and on weekends?

Yes. Swiftlee answers 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays. You decide which after-hours calls are urgent enough to transfer and which are taken as messages for the next business day.
