Frequently asked questions
How does the Voice AI receptionist compare to a human receptionist?
A Voice AI receptionist answers every inbound call 24/7 (zero miss rate). A human receptionist averages 25-35% miss rate due to busy hours, lunch, after-hours, and sick days. For booking, FAQ handling, emergency keyword triage, and call routing, the AI matches a competent human at a fraction of the cost — typically ₹5-Rs 10k/month for the AI subscription vs ₹25,000-Rs 35,000/month per receptionist shift.
What if my patients don't want to talk to a machine?
In practice, patient acceptance is 70-85% within the first 1-2 calls — the AI is consistent, polite, and quick. The AI also transfers callers to clinic staff on request, so anyone who insists on a human always gets one. Most clinics that adopt Voice AI redeploy their human receptionist to in-clinic patient experience rather than firing them.
Does Voice AI work 24/7 including holidays?
Yes. Healthcare with AI's Voice AI answers inbound calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including Sundays and clinic holidays. Patients calling at 2 AM get a response; the clinic team sees the summary the next morning.
How is Voice AI priced at Healthcare with AI?
The Voice Calling Agent has a one-time setup fee of ₹9,999 (covers number provisioning + voice model setup + training) and ₹5.50 per minute of voice usage. No fixed monthly subscription — you only pay for the minutes used. Typical clinic call volume produces a monthly bill of ₹3,000-Rs 8,000.
What about emergency calls?
The Voice AI scans every call for 80+ emergency keywords in Hindi and English. When an emergency is detected (chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe bleeding, unconscious, etc.), the AI immediately escalates the call to the doctor on call and sends a WhatsApp alert to the clinic team.
Is this calculator binding? What if my actual numbers differ?
The calculator uses your inputs to estimate the comparison. Actual savings depend on your specific call volume and receptionist staffing. The estimate is conservative — real savings are usually higher because the AI also captures the 25-35% of calls a human receptionist misses today.
