If you already have an AI receptionist handling calls at your office, you can skip this step and move on to the next item in your Quick-Start Checklist.
đĄDid you know that 33% of patient calls go unanswered, costing the average practice 7â8 new patients and $7,000+ per month?
The AI Receptionist ensures that every call is answered, helping you capture more patient opportunities without adding workload to your staff.
How the AI Receptionist Works
â All calls ring your main office line first. If you canât answer, the call forwards to the AI so patients are never missed.
â Our practices gain an average of 4â6 extra patients per month with it active.
đ˛ Set Up Call Forwarding (One-Time Setup)
Setting up your AI Receptionist takes just a few minutes! Hereâs how:
1) Get your AI phone number
Found in the "Quick-Start Checklist" onboarding document we sent. If you canât locate it, email [email protected] and weâll resend it.
2) Choose the right code for your phone provider
Different carriers use different forwarding codes. Some forward calls when you donât answer, others when your line is busy. Setting up both ensures your AI Receptionist always steps in when needed!
đ Dial the code for your provider, replace [AI NUMBER] with the full number from your Quick-Start Checklist, and press Call.
AT&T / T-Mobile (most mobile phones):
When you donât answer:
*61*[AI NUMBER]#
When youâre busy on another call:
*67*[AI NUMBER]#
Verizon Wireless:
Handles both no-answer + busy:
*71[AI NUMBER]
Landlines / VoIP (Spectrum, Comcast, Frontier, Cox, Verizon Fios, AT&T Home Phone, etc.):
When you donât answer:
*92[AI NUMBER]
When youâre busy:
*90[AI NUMBER]
Example (AT&T/T-Mobile):
â ď¸ Using Weave (or another VoIP/PBX like RingCentral, Nextiva, Vonage)?
These systems donât use dial codes â forwarding is set up in their dashboard or through their support team.
3) Done
Press Call after entering the dial code â thatâs it! You only need to do this once, and from then on your AI Receptionist will automatically step in whenever you miss a call.
Please try to set this up before your onboarding call. If you run into any errors, just send us a quick screenshot or message and we'll help you!
đ Turn Off Forwarding
You can turn off forwarding anytime by dialing:
AT&T / T-Mobile: #61# (no answer), #67# (busy), or ##004# (all)
Verizon: *73
Landlines / VoIP: *93 (no answer), *91 (busy)
