In a Nutshell

What if you could convert thousands of unscheduled patients into booked appointments without hiring a single additional staff member? 

A large, multi-state specialty practice, delivering care through a hybrid model of virtual and in-person visits to approximately 250,000 patients annually, was losing revenue and care opportunities due to a persistent gap between patient demand and scheduling conversion. Patients seeking care were falling through the cracks, with many remaining unscheduled 30+ days later due to inconsistent follow-up, limited outreach capacity, and the absence of a closed-loop engagement system. 

By implementing an AI-powered voice engagement platform with predictive call timing, the practice reached patients when they were most likely to answer and converted more than 3,200 patients into scheduled appointments within the first two months. The practice achieved a 19% conversion rate among patients who had remained unscheduled for more than 30 days, eliminated approximately 10 FTEs worth of manual outreach, and expanded access to care nationally without increasing headcount.

The Challenge

For high-volume specialty practices, the challenge extends beyond rising demand for care. Many organizations struggle to convert patient demand into scheduled appointments and sustained care. Not because demand is lacking, but because operational bottlenecks prevent timely and consistent patient engagement. This large, multi-state practice experienced significant patient leakage driven by several compounding factors: 

• High volume of unscheduled patients: Thousands of patients remained unscheduled 30+ days after seeking care, representing both missed care opportunities and lost revenue. 

• Manual outreach that couldn't scale with demand: Inconsistent follow-up across locations, no prioritization of higher value outreach, and the absence of a closed-loop system from intake to outreach to scheduling left staff unable to scale with patient demand effectively. 

• Ongoing patient leakage and revenue loss: Without a systematic approach to re-engage unscheduled patients, the practice faced a widening gap between patient demand and clinical capacity, leading to poorer patient experiences and diminished financial performance. 

The leadership team needed a scalable, intelligent solution to activate unengaged patient demand and convert it into care at scale.

The Solution

The practice partnered with Otomo Health to modernize the patient journey from initial demand to scheduled appointment, with Otomo's AI Agents serving as the orchestration layer across patient intake, engagement, and scheduling. 

• Automated, Personalized Outreach: Otomo's conversational AI agents proactively contacted unscheduled patients with tailored voice outreach, delivering a natural and empathetic experience designed for the sensitivity that specialty care conversations require. All outreach was conducted on behalf of the practice, within its existing patient relationships and HIPAA-compliant workflows. 

• Predictive Outreach Timing: Otomo's advanced data science models predicted when each patient was most likely to answer and timed every call accordingly, with automatic retries during the highest-probability answer window. Right patient, right moment, at a scale no manual calling team can match. 

• Real-Time Scheduling at Scale: On each call, the AI agent triaged patients into the practice's existing scheduling workflow to book their virtual or in-person visit, operating consistently across the multi-state footprint without the capacity limits of manual outreach.

The Results

Within the first two months, Otomo Health delivered strong financial and operational ROI, transforming the practice's ability to convert unscheduled demand into active patient relationships.

• Conversion rate: Achieved a 19% conversion rate, generating thousands of new bookings from previously unengaged patients.

• Patient acquisition: Approximately 3,200 appointments scheduled through AI driven engagement.

• Operational efficiency: Eliminated approximately 10 FTEs worth of manual outbound outreach, freeing clinical and administrative teams to focus on higher value work.

Thousands of new bookings came from previously unengaged patients, allowing clinical and administrative teams to focus on higher-value work.

The Bottom Line:

This was not just an operational improvement. It was a demand activation engine. 

By replacing fragmented, manual outreach with Otomo Health's intelligent voice AI platform, calling the right patient at the right moment instead of working down a list, the practice unlocked patient demand that had been sitting dormant in its scheduling pipeline. The result: thousands of patients connected to care, measurable revenue recovery, and a scalable foundation for sustained growth, all without adding headcount.

Smarter outreach. Activated demand. Stronger growth.
