{"faqs":[{"answer":"CallMyLeads is configured in a HIPAA-aligned way for dental and medical clients: your AI receptionist uses only scripts you approve, never offers diagnosis or treatment advice, and routes clinical questions to your team. Callers always know they're talking to AI and can always reach a human, text, or book online. Texting is registered under US carrier rules (A2P 10DLC), and consent and quiet-hours laws are followed.","question":"How does a HIPAA compliant answering service for therapists actually work with CallMyLeads?"},{"answer":"Nothing goes to voicemail. If you can't pick up, the missed call triggers an instant text-back, callback offer, and booking option within seconds. The caller gets a clear next step before their interest cools, and the appointment lands on your existing calendar with a confirmation and reminder.","question":"What happens when I'm in a therapy session and a new patient calls?"},{"answer":"Yes — inbound calls are answered 24/7/365, including nights, weekends, holidays, and peak season. Equivalent human coverage would take at least two full-time hires; CallMyLeads costs a fraction of one salary, billed per minute with no seats or minimums.","question":"Can this handle after-hours and weekend intake calls for a solo psychology practice?"},{"answer":"Setup starts with a free ~15-minute scoping call. We connect your lead sources — forms, phone lines, chat, ads, referrals — set your response rules, and run everything into your existing CRM and calendar. A one-time flat setup fee is quoted upfront and waived on annual plans. Most practices are running quickly with no changes to their daily workflow.","question":"How long does setup take, and will it disrupt my current workflow?"},{"answer":"A human receptionist can't answer 24/7/365 without at least two full-time hires, and traditional call centers bill whether or not value is delivered. CallMyLeads answers every call, replies in seconds, qualifies and scores leads by your rules, books appointments with reminders, and nurtures not-ready leads automatically — at per-minute rates from 9¢ to 21¢, with spam and robocalls screened and never billed. No contract, cancel anytime.","question":"Why not just hire a front-desk person or use a traditional behavioral health call center?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Connect Your Lead Sources","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"In a free ~15-minute scoping call, we join your website forms, phone lines, ads, chat, and referral sources to one response system — flowing into your existing CRM and calendar."},{"step":"2","title":"Set Your Response Rules","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"You choose the first message, qualification questions, what counts as a qualified patient, and when to route calls to your team.
