HIPAA note: These are AI prompts that generate communication templates — not patient-specific health information. Do not include PHI (Protected Health Information) in your AI prompts unless using a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA)-covered AI platform. When using these generated scripts with actual patients, review them for compliance with your practice's policies before sending.

Script 01 Appointment Reminder

48-Hour Appointment Reminder (SMS)

No-shows cost medical practices an average of $200 per missed appointment. A single timely reminder reduces no-show rates by 25–40%.
Write a friendly, professional SMS appointment reminder for a medical practice. Details: - Patient first name: [PATIENT NAME] - Appointment date: [DATE] - Appointment time: [TIME] - Practice name: [PRACTICE NAME] - Provider name (optional): Dr. [PROVIDER] or leave blank - Address or "telehealth link" (whichever applies): [LOCATION or LINK] - Phone to call/text to confirm or reschedule: [PHONE] Keep it under 160 characters if possible. Warm, professional. Include a clear call to action to confirm or reschedule. Do not include any health condition details.

Pro tip: Stack a 48-hour reminder + a same-morning reminder. Two-touch sequences reduce no-shows by an additional 10–15% versus a single reminder. Add "Reply CONFIRM to confirm or CANCEL to reschedule" for frictionless two-way opt-in.

Script 02 No-Show Recovery

Missed Appointment Follow-Up (SMS)

Sent within 2–3 hours of a missed appointment. Recovers 15–20% of no-shows back onto the schedule and signals continuity of care.
Write a brief, caring SMS to send to a patient who missed their appointment today. The tone should be understanding — not accusatory. Focus on making it easy for them to reschedule. Details: - Patient first name: [PATIENT NAME] - Practice name: [PRACTICE NAME] - Scheduling link or phone: [LINK or PHONE] Do not mention the specific reason for the appointment or any health details. Keep it under 160 characters. One soft acknowledgment, one clear offer to reschedule.

Pro tip: If no response after 48 hours, follow up with a second message: "We want to make sure you're taken care of — whenever you're ready, we're here." For patients with chronic conditions or ongoing treatment, flag the no-show in your EHR for a care coordinator follow-up call.

Script 03 Review Request

Post-Visit Google Review Request (SMS)

Send 30–60 minutes after a positive visit while the experience is fresh. Practices that ask consistently generate 3–5x more reviews than those that don't.
Write a short, genuine SMS asking a patient to leave a Google review after their visit today. Details: - Patient first name: [PATIENT NAME] - Practice name: [PRACTICE NAME] - Provider they saw (optional): Dr. [PROVIDER NAME] - Google review link: [GOOGLE REVIEW URL] Tone: warm and personal, not a mass-blast copy-paste. Do not mention the reason for their visit or any health information. Under 160 characters. No exclamation point overload. Make it feel like a real person sent it.

Pro tip: Use a sentiment triage step before the review ask. Send a 1–5 internal rating first. Route 4–5 stars to Google; route 1–3 stars to the practice manager for a recovery call. This keeps negative reviews offline and dramatically improves your public star rating over time.

Script 04 Lapsed Patient Reactivation

Annual Wellness / Overdue Visit Reactivation

For patients overdue for annual visits, physicals, or recurring appointments. Reactivation campaigns typically recover 8–15% of lapsed patients back into active status.
Write a warm, caring SMS to send to a patient who hasn't been seen in 12+ months, encouraging them to schedule their annual visit or check-in. Details: - Patient first name: [PATIENT NAME] - Practice name: [PRACTICE NAME] - Type of visit to encourage (general): [e.g., "annual wellness visit", "annual physical", "routine check-in"] - Scheduling link or phone: [LINK or PHONE] Do not mention any health conditions or diagnoses. Tone: genuinely caring — this is a practice that wants to see their patient stay healthy, not a sales pitch. Under 160 characters.

Pro tip: Segment reactivation lists by time since last visit (6mo, 12mo, 18mo+) with progressively warmer messaging. The 18-month+ segment often needs a personal call from care coordination, not just a text — automate the text but flag these patients for human follow-up.

Script 05 Pre-Visit Prep

Pre-Visit Preparation Instructions (SMS/Email)

For visits requiring patient preparation — labs, procedures, specialist consultations. Reduces missed prep steps that force rescheduling and creates a better patient experience from the first touch.
Write a friendly, clear SMS (or short email) with pre-visit instructions for a patient scheduled for an upcoming appointment. Details: - Patient first name: [PATIENT NAME] - Appointment date: [DATE] at [TIME] - Practice name: [PRACTICE NAME] - Preparation instructions: [LIST INSTRUCTIONS — e.g., "fast for 8 hours before your appointment", "bring your insurance card and photo ID", "arrive 15 minutes early to complete intake paperwork", "stop taking [medication] 24 hours before — confirm with your prescribing physician"] - Contact for questions: [PHONE or EMAIL] Tone: clear and reassuring. Patients often feel anxious about procedures — make the instructions feel helpful, not bureaucratic. Do not include diagnosis or condition details in the message. Under 200 characters for SMS or 150 words for email.

Pro tip: Send prep instructions 72 hours out (enough time to prepare) and again 24 hours out as a reminder. Practices that use two-touch prep reminders see significantly fewer "patient wasn't prepared" reschedules — which are pure revenue loss.

Script 06 Negative Review Response

1-Star Google Review Response (HIPAA-Safe)

Responding to negative reviews professionally and quickly limits reputation damage. A thoughtful response often prompts reviewers to update their rating — and it signals to potential patients that you take feedback seriously.
Write a professional, empathetic response to a negative Google review for a medical practice. Critical HIPAA requirements: - Do NOT confirm or deny that the reviewer is a patient - Do NOT mention any health, appointment, or treatment details — even if the reviewer did - Do NOT use the reviewer's name in the response - Do invite them to contact the practice privately to resolve their concern Details: - Practice name: [PRACTICE NAME] - Practice contact: [PHONE or EMAIL] - Review text to respond to: [PASTE REVIEW HERE] Response should be warm, non-defensive, and under 80 words. End with an invitation to connect privately.

Strong HIPAA warning: Never confirm someone is or was your patient in a public Google response — even if they already said so in their review. Acknowledging the relationship is a HIPAA violation. The safest response always invites them to call/email privately without confirming or denying any details.

Script 07 New Patient Welcome

New Patient Welcome Message

Send when a new patient books their first appointment. Sets expectations, reduces anxiety, improves show rates, and starts the relationship on a warm footing before they even walk in the door.
Write a warm welcome message (SMS or short email) for a new patient who just scheduled their first appointment with our practice. Details: - Patient first name: [PATIENT NAME] - Practice name: [PRACTICE NAME] - Appointment date and time: [DATE] at [TIME] - Provider they'll see: Dr. [PROVIDER NAME] (optional) - New patient intake forms or portal link (if any): [LINK or "skip if none"] - What to bring: [e.g., "photo ID and insurance card", or leave blank for general practices] - Anything else they should know: [e.g., "parking is available in our lot on [street]" or leave blank] Tone: warm, welcoming, reassuring. Many patients are anxious about new providers. Make them feel like they've made a good decision. Under 180 characters for SMS, or under 120 words for email. Do not include any health details.

Pro tip: Follow the welcome message with a 48-hour reminder and a same-morning reminder. First-visit no-show rates drop dramatically with a three-touch welcome sequence. The welcome also creates a natural opportunity to collect intake forms before the visit — saving time at check-in for both sides.
