Answering Service for Medical Professionals

If you're a health care provider, choosing The Message Center will be the best choice you'll ever make.

Learn More

Is your answering service general purpose or does it specialize in medical calls? General purpose answering services cant't be HIPAA compliant. On top of that , they don't understand the nuances of the various medical calls that you will get. Our calls go fast because we already know what information to take and where it needs to go.

How it works

Call Forwarding

A unique telephone number is issued to each practice, along with an emergency backup number. The most common way to use our service is to forward your office phone lines to the number we've given you. Your phone company already provides a call forwarding feature, so no special equipment is required. 

Answer Phrases

A unique answer phrase is recited to greet your calls. 

Thank you for calling Health Care USA, office of Dr. Wilson. How may I help you?

Even after hours your clients will know they have the right number when the operator answers with your practice's or doctor's name. 

Call Screening

We have a deep understanding of what most doctors consider urgent and what can wait for the next business day. This cuts down on reaching the physician when it is unnecessary. Or we can reach the provider for all calls if your practice considers every call an emergency. We can screen all calls and you can make screening instructions as specific as you'd like.  

Message Taking

After screening a call, we take into account the type of call it is and use a standardized methodology to document the call. Additional information can be taken when requested. In most cases, the methodology we already use serves most practices well. 

Message Dispatch

Dispatch schedules are assigned to the office and to each provider. This outline describes how we will contact each individual and what order we will make attempts.
