Stop Losing Money to No-Shows

Automated text and voice reminders that confirm appointments, re-engage no-responders, and put your schedule back on autopilot.

The Problem

The Average No-Show Rate is 23%

Across 105 clinical studies, nearly one in four appointments simply doesn’t happen. (PMC, 2024)

What That Actually Costs You

Every Empty Chair is Revenue You Can’t Get Back

An empty slot doesn’t just lose the appointment fee. It loses the products, the follow-ups, the referrals that customer would have generated. Multiply that across a year and no-shows become one of the largest, quietest line items in your business.

Manual reminders aren’t the answer. They burn staff hours, get forgotten on busy days, and reach voicemail more often than not. By the time you notice the gap on the schedule, the day is already gone.

Worse — most reminder systems give up after one try. Patients who don’t answer the first time get written off. But studies show those exact patients are the ones a smart resend will recover.

The Solution

Reminders That Don’t Quit

Telio Reminders detects how each customer prefers to be reached, sends the right message in the right channel, and follows up automatically with anyone who doesn’t respond.

📱

Text & Voice Reminders

Telio automatically detects whether a number can receive SMS or needs a voice call — and routes accordingly. State-of-the-art text-to-speech handles the calls.

🔁

Smart Auto-Resend

Anyone who doesn’t respond gets a second reminder, closer to the appointment. Resending to non-responders has shown attendance lifts of up to 43%.

Two-Way Confirmation

Recipients confirm or cancel by replying to the text or pressing a key on the call. No app, no login, no friction.

📢

Broadcast Messaging

Send a one-tap update to your entire customer list — closure notice, schedule change, promotion, anything urgent.

📞

Free Phone Number

Every account includes a dedicated number for outbound reminders and inbound replies. No carrier setup required.

🎯

Dynamic Content

Patient name, provider, time, location — all merged into every message automatically. Personal, every time.
