Full-Spectrum Call Center for Medical Practices
From the first ring to the post-visit follow-up, our Medellín-based agents manage every patient touchpoint with healthcare-specific training and genuine care.
Inbound Scheduling
Dedicated agents handle every inbound call — booking appointments, confirming availability, and capturing new patient information with accuracy and warmth.
After-Hours Coverage
Never send a patient to voicemail after 5 PM. Our Medellín team covers evenings, weekends, and holidays so your practice is always reachable.
Recall & Reactivation
Systematic outbound campaigns that reconnect with lapsed patients, confirm overdue appointments, and fill gaps in your schedule before they cost you revenue.
Insurance Verification
Pre-visit eligibility checks that reduce claim denials, speed up check-in, and eliminate the awkward billing surprises that damage patient trust.
Bilingual Patient Support
English and Spanish fluency built into every shift — so Spanish-speaking patients receive the same quality of care coordination as any other caller.
New Patient Intake
Agents collect demographics, insurance details, and chief complaint before the patient ever walks through your door — cutting check-in time and front-desk workload.
Referral Coordination
Outbound calls to specialist offices, fax follow-ups, and status tracking so referrals don't fall through the cracks between your practice and the next provider.
Satisfaction Follow-Up
Post-visit calls that gauge patient experience, flag concerns before they become reviews, and reinforce the relationship between visit and next appointment.

Medellín offers a large pool of university-educated, bilingual professionals at labor costs 40–60% below comparable U.S. roles. The city operates in the same or adjacent time zones as most U.S. practices, eliminating the overnight-shift friction common with offshore destinations in Asia or Eastern Europe. Colombia's growing healthcare BPO sector also means agents arrive with medical terminology training already in place.
