But don't choose our 1-800 We Answer Medical Answering Service division because we cost less. Your patients deserve the best service. If you are currently contracted with an answering service that cannot dispatch your emergency calls properly, the consequences could be dire. The number one complaint people have when they hire a medical answering service is improperly routed emergency messages. At 1-800 We Answer Medical Answering Service, after intense screening, we hire only responsible and intelligent call service attendants to answer your calls -- folks who genuinely care about your patients and respect your valuable time at home with your family when calling you in the middle of the night with an emergency. 1-800 We Answer Medical Answering Servicel avoids the mistakes made by other answering services by automating the protocol function that dispatches the correct on-call doctor at the right time of the day, and after operators take emergency calls, a manager checks each call manually.

Whether you're a large medical center or a fledgling practice, your patients' health information (PHI) is paramount.

Our voicemail-first option saves you time and money by giving your callers a recorded message, transferring only emergency calls to a live operator, and directing all other calls to voicemail.

Appointment setting and confirmation, consult hold, lab result protocol and prescription dispatch are also provided. Database management is included for emergency protocol and on-call scheduling.

Message access can be dispatched via cell, pda, e-mail, paging, fax or voicemail. A live operator can even transfer the caller to a voicemail. So, if you have a six-person practice, each person can have personal voicemail.

Emergency notification can be arranged and changed on request.

Answering services frequently don't publish their rates.
They ask you personal business questions and set your rate based on how much they think you can afford or are willing to pay. They justify these high rates by promising a quality service, using ambiguous terminology such as "transaction time" or "unit or screen time". Be wary of these terms. At 1-800 We Answer answering service, we give you excellent service and low published rates.
