{"faqs":[{"answer":"When a call to your practice is missed, CallMyLeads instantly texts the caller back in seconds, offers a clear next step, and can book a consultation directly with confirmations and reminders. The flow is simple: call is missed → instant text-back → offer to book → appointment booked. Everything runs into your existing CRM and calendar.","question":"How does missed-call text-back work for a bariatric surgery practice?"},{"answer":"Configuration for medical clients is HIPAA-aligned: approved scripts only, no diagnosis or treatment advice, and the booking flow collects explicit consent. Business texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), and consent and telemarketing quiet-hours laws are followed with opt-outs honored immediately and automatically.","question":"Is this HIPAA-compliant for handling patient inquiries about weight loss surgery?"},{"answer":"Yes — callers always know they're talking to AI. Honest disclosure is a feature, not something hidden. Every caller can also reach a human on your team, use text, or book online, so nobody is trapped in a conversation they didn't expect.","question":"Will patients know they're talking to an AI, not a nurse?"},{"answer":"A free ~15-minute scoping call settles the right plan, then we connect your phone lines and set your response rules — first message, qualification questions, and routing. There's a one-time flat setup fee quoted upfront and waived on annual plans. Pricing is per-minute with no seats: 21¢/min metered, 14¢/min + from $149/mo managed, or 9¢/min at 2,000+ minutes monthly.","question":"How long does setup take and what does it cost to get started?"},{"answer":"Voicemail loses patients — the lead that gets a reply first usually wins. Unlike a traditional answering service that takes messages, CallMyLeads responds in seconds, qualifies the caller, books the appointment with reminders, and nurtures not-ready-today leads until they book. You only pay for minutes actually handling leads; screened spam and robocalls are never billed.","question":"How is this better than just using voicemail or an answering service for missed calls?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect your phone lines","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Your practice phone lines are joined to one response system. A free ~15-minute scoping call settles the plan and setup fee is quoted upfront."},{"step":"2","title":"Set your response rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"Approve the first text-back message, consultation qualification questions, and when callers route to your team — with HIPAA-aligned approved scripts only."},{"step":"3","title":"Missed calls become booked consults","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Call is missed → instant text-back → offer to book → consultation appointment with confirmations and reminders.

Spam and robocalls are screened before billing, and the managed plan at 14¢/min plus a $149 base fee costs a fraction of hiring two full‑time front‑desk staff.","proof_point":"Equivalent human coverage would require at least two full‑time hires; the AI solution delivers the same coverage for a fraction of one salary."}],"features":["Instant missed-call text-back: the moment a call is missed, the caller gets a text in seconds offering to book a consultation.","24/7/365 AI reception: nights, weekends, and holidays covered — equivalent to at least two full-time hires at a fraction of one salary.","Automatic appointment booking with confirmations and reminders, so consultation no-shows drop.","Lead qualification and scoring: automatic questions determine which callers are ready for a bariatric surgeon consultation and route hot leads to your team.","HIPAA-aligned medical configuration: approved scripts only, no diagnosis or treatment advice, explicit consent collected in the booking flow.","Source-to-booking tracking: see the source, response speed, and outcome for every lead your practice generates."],"headline":"Every Missed Call Is a Bariatric Patient Choosing Another Practice","problems":[{"icon":"TrendingUp","stat":"23% decline in MBS cases, 2022–2024","color":"from-red-500 to-pink-500","title":"Patient pipeline shrinking as GLP‑1 medications divert prospects – 23% drop in bariatric cases (2022‑2024)","description":"Metabolic and bariatric surgery volume fell 23% between 2022 and 2024 as patients increasingly consider GLP‑1 agonists such as Ozempic and Wegovy.
