How does an AI receptionist help a podiatry clinic?
+
Miya handles patient calls while your podiatrists treat, books general foot care, nail surgery, orthotic and sports appointments by type, records care plan, health fund and DVA details, logs orthotic pickup questions and records home visit addresses. Questions about pain, nails or wounds are never answered by Miya; they reach your clinicians as messages.
Will it give advice about foot problems?
+
No. Miya never assesses nails, wounds, pain or footwear, and never suggests home treatment. She books the right appointment and records the reason in the patient's words. A rapidly worsening wound with fever or another emergency is directed to urgent medical care or 000.
Can it record care plan and DVA patients?
+
Yes. Miya notes whether the patient has a GP care plan referral, private health cover or a DVA card, asks them to bring paperwork to the first visit and explains fees from your notes. Your team confirms eligibility and any gap at the appointment.
Does it handle home visits?
+
Yes. For home and aged care visits, Miya records the address, access details, the carer or family contact and preferred times, then books the visit into your mobile podiatrist's calendar. Family members can book on behalf of a parent. Before hanging up, each caller hears their visit date and time repeated.
Does it connect to podiatry practice software?
+
Not yet. Clinics using Google Calendar or Calendly see appointments there, while RingOut stores a note of every call with appointment type and funding, ready for reception to add into the practice system later. Mobile podiatrists often review the list before setting out on home visits.
How much does an AI receptionist for podiatry clinics cost?
+
Single-podiatrist clinics often start on Starter at $49 monthly for an hour of calls. Clinics with several podiatrists usually choose Growth, $149 a month, for 250 minutes with recordings. GST applies in addition. Setup is free of charge, and the plan can be adjusted any month.
