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, HIPAA awareness, and genuine care for the patient experience.
Inbound Patient Scheduling
Dedicated bilingual agents handle every inbound call — booking appointments, confirming availability, and capturing new patient information with accuracy and warmth. No call goes unanswered, no appointment opportunity is lost.
After-Hours & Overflow Coverage
Never send a patient to voicemail after 5 PM. Our Medellín team covers evenings, weekends, and holidays — so your practice is always reachable when patients need you most.
Recall & Reactivation Campaigns
Systematic outbound campaigns that reconnect with lapsed patients, confirm overdue appointments, and fill gaps in your schedule before they cost you revenue. Proactive outreach that keeps your calendar full.
Insurance Eligibility Verification
Pre-visit eligibility checks that reduce claim denials, speed up check-in, and eliminate the billing surprises that damage patient trust and slow your revenue cycle.
Bilingual Patient Support
Professional English and Spanish fluency built into every shift — so Spanish-speaking patients receive the same quality of care coordination as any other caller. A critical capability as the U.S. Hispanic patient population continues to grow.
New Patient Intake & Pre-Registration
Agents collect demographics, insurance details, and chief complaint before the patient ever walks through your door — cutting check-in time, reducing front-desk workload, and improving the first-visit experience.
Referral Coordination
Outbound calls to specialist offices, fax follow-ups, and status tracking so referrals never fall through the cracks between your practice and the next provider in the care continuum.
Patient Satisfaction Follow-Up
Post-visit calls that gauge patient experience, surface concerns before they become negative reviews, and reinforce the relationship between visit and next appointment — turning one-time patients into loyal ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions medical practices ask most before making the nearshore decision — from HIPAA compliance to cost savings to EHR integration.
A nearshore medical call center is a patient-facing call center staffed in a geographically close country — such as Colombia — rather than domestically or in a distant offshore location like India or the Philippines. Nearshore teams operate in the same or adjacent time zones as U.S. practices, speak professional-level English, and are trained on HIPAA, medical terminology, and EHR workflows. The result is domestic-quality patient communication at 40–60% of U.S. staffing costs.
