Your Patients Are Already Texting. Is Your Practice Ready to Respond?

Phone tag, voicemails, and hold times aren't just frustrating they're pushing patients to the next provider on the list.

Patients don't Leave Voicemails

80% hang up when they can't get through. They don't call back; they move to the next provider on Google.

Your Front Desk is Stretched Thin

Every call to book, reschedule, or ask a simple question pulls staff away from in-person patients.

Messages Live in too Many Places

Emails, portal messages, sticky notes, and phone callbacks all create gaps and patients pay for it.

2-Way Texting Built for Medical Practices

A shared, HIPAA-compliant texting hub that keeps every patient conversation organized, assigned, and responded to from any device, by any team member.

HOW IT WORKS

SimpleChime – How It Works
1
Step 1
Text-Enable Your Existing Number

No new hardware. No new phone number (unless you want one). Your patients reach you exactly the same way they always have — now they can text it.

2
Step 2
Invite Your Team

Add staff with their own logins, assign roles, and set notification preferences. Works seamlessly on desktop and mobile.

3
Step 3
Start Responding to Patients

Incoming patient texts flow into your shared inbox instantly. Reply, assign, tag, and close all from one screen.

Step 4
Add Features as You Grow

Turn on Online Scheduling, the Lead Capture Widget, or AI-assisted replies whenever you're ready. No re-onboarding, no new contracts.

Real-Time 2-Way Messaging

Patients text your practice number and your team replies in real time. No hold music, no voicemail, no phone tag. Every conversation is a direct, personal exchange that builds patient trust.

Faster responses = fewer lost patients.
Shared Team Inbox

All incoming patient texts land in one centralized inbox. Assign conversations to specific staff members, leave internal notes, and track who responded and when so nothing gets missed and nothing gets duplicated.

The right person responds, every time.
Multi-location Practices

SimpleChime is built for healthcare compliance from the ground up. Patients can safely share sensitive information — insurance cards, medical histories, intake photos — directly through the platform without any PHI risk.

Communicate confidently. No workarounds, no liability.
Secure Document & Image Sharing

Let patients submit insurance cards, referral documents, pre-visit forms, and post-visit photos right through a text thread. No fax, no patient login, no friction.

Cut down on front-desk follow-up calls for missing paperwork.
Custom Tags & Conversation Labels

Organize every text thread with custom tags by appointment type, urgency, provider, location, or anything your workflow needs. Filter, search, and batch-message by tag in seconds.

When your team grows, organization scales with it.
Quick Message Templates

Build a library of pre-written responses for your most common messages — appointment confirmations, medication refill reminders, post-visit follow-ups, directions, and more. Send them in one click, every time.

Consistent communication without the copy-paste.
Appointment Management

Send automated appointment reminders via text. Patients confirm, reschedule, or cancel with a simple reply. Changes sync to your EHR automatically.

Reduce no-shows by 40%. Patients confirm appointments instantly from their phone.
Automated Messages

Set up automatic text messages for common workflows. Welcome new patients. Send pre-visit instructions. Follow up after appointments. Birthday greetings.

Save 10+ hours weekly on repetitive messages.
Form Management

Text intake forms, consent documents, and questionnaires to patients. They complete on their phone before arriving. Forms auto-populate in your EHR.

Eliminate clipboard forms in waiting room. Staff focuses on care, not data entry.
Bulk Messages

Send important announcements to your entire patient list or specific groups. Office closures, policy changes, health alerts, seasonal reminders.

Reach 1,000 patients in 30 seconds. 98% open rate compared to 20% for email.
Text to Pay

Send secure payment links by text so patients can quickly pay from their phone in seconds while payments automatically sync with your billing system.

Improve collections and reduce payment follow-ups.
EHR Sync

Add new patients to your EHR or update existing patient records directly from SimpleChime in just a few clicks, without switching screens or re-entering information manually.

Eliminate duplicate data entry and keep patient records accurate with less administrative work.

Bi-Directional EHR Integration

SimpleChime doesn't just push data into your EHR; it also pushes data seamlessly into your EHR. Patient records, appointment data, and contact information flow seamlessly in both directions, so your team always has the full picture without touching two systems.

What bi-directional sync means for your practice:

  • New patient contacts created in SimpleChime appear automatically in your EHR
  • Appointment confirmations, rescheduling requests, and cancellations from text are reflected in your EHR schedule in real time
  • No manual re-entry. No data silos. No version mismatches.

This is a premium capability that most point solutions don't offer and the feature that makes SimpleChime viable at the enterprise and multi-location level.
