Why Imaging Centers Need a Dedicated Answering Service
Â
Imaging centers face a high volume of patient calls, from scheduling appointments and managing referrals to handling inquiries about exam preparation and insurance coverage. Patients may need help with pre-procedure instructions or have questions about their exams, while referring physicians may require timely updates and coordination for follow-up care. Staffing in-house personnel to manage these calls 24/7 can be costly and logistically challenging.
