Health and wellness practices

The patient who called during a procedure books with the practice that texted back.

Foreman answers the missed call, books from the real schedule, confirms 2 days out, rebooks the no-show and works the recall list. Appointment logistics only, nothing clinical in a text.

Mark Ellison
Today 2:14 PM

Chipped a front tooth at lunch. Not in pain but it looks bad. Can I get in?

Sorry about that. Dr. Patel has 3:40 PM today or 8:20 AM tomorrow. Which works?

3:40 today.

Done. Are you an existing patient with us, and is there insurance we should have on file?

Yes, Mark Ellison. Delta Dental through work.

Thank you, Mark. You are booked 3:40 PM today with Dr. Patel, Delta Dental on file. Please arrive 10 minutes early. We will text if the chair opens sooner.

Where practices lose money, and what Foreman does

4 leaks. One operator on all of them.

The numbers are worked examples to show the shape of the leak, not results. Your own numbers come from your calendar and your phone log on the setup call.

Missed calls

The call that rings while the front desk is with a patient

Example: A 2-chair practice that misses 4 calls a day, where 1 would have booked a $250 first visit, is looking at about $250 a day that booked with the practice down the street.

Foreman: Foreman texts back within 60 seconds, offers 2 open slots from the schedule, books the appointment and sends the intake form. Appointment logistics only.

No-shows

The empty chair at 10:00 AM

Example: A no-show on a hygiene chair costs the visit and the hour. 1 a day is 5 a week of unbilled time.

Foreman: Foreman confirms 2 days out, moves the slot if the patient asks, and offers the opening to the waitlist the moment it frees up. No-shows are rebooked the same day.

Recall

The 400 patients who are overdue

Example: Most practices have hundreds of patients past their recall date and 1 postcard a year reaching them.

Foreman: Foreman runs recall and due-for-visit texts off the schedule, handles the replies and books the visit. Nothing about treatment in the text, only dates and times.

Treatment plans that went quiet

The $3,000 plan that was never scheduled

Example: The patient accepted the plan in the room and then nothing happened for 3 months.

Foreman: Foreman follows up on scheduling only, in your voice, and books the next visit when the patient is ready. Financing links go out with the follow-up where you allow it.

Works with what you run

Foreman sits in front of your systems. It does not replace them.

Live: we connect during setup. On request: calendar sync, email parsing or a shared inbox, and we tell you what that covers. Logos belong to their owners and indicate integrations, not endorsement.

The Monday text

Six lines a week. That is the whole report.

Every Monday at 7:00 AM, one text with the numbers a practice owner actually checks. The dashboard has the rest if you want it. You never have to log in.

Questions practice owners ask

Straight answers.

Is this HIPAA compliant?

Foreman does not claim HIPAA or SOC 2 compliance today, and we will not sign a BAA until the program exists and has been reviewed. Messages carry dates, times, locations and who to ask for. Nothing clinical goes in a text, and Foreman never reads the chart.

Does it read our practice management system?

Only the schedule and the appointment record. Dentrix, Open Dental, Eaglesoft, NexHealth, Jane, athenahealth, DrChrono and Cliniko are live connections, and we tell you what each one covers.

Will it answer insurance questions?

It answers the ones you write down: which plans you accept, what a new patient visit costs without insurance. Coverage questions go to the front desk.

How does it handle no-shows?

It confirms 2 days before, rebooks the no-show within the hour with 2 real openings, and offers the empty slot to the waitlist. You decide whether a no-show fee is mentioned.

Can patients opt out?

Yes. STOP is honoured everywhere, consent is recorded, and texts go only to patients with an existing relationship with the practice. Numbers are registered under 10DLC.

Does it work for chiropractors, physical therapy and med spas too?

Yes. The same appointment-only rules apply. Med spas and salons have their own page under Beauty.
