Can we send bulk messages to a patient list?

Yes. Patient segments can be used for bulk SMS, with batches of up to 1,000 selected patients at a time.

Do WhatsApp and email need setup?

Yes. Medicasimple supports SMS, email, and WhatsApp workflows when channel setup, provider settings, and active templates are configured.

Are recall reminders supported?

Yes. Recall can be created manually or through treatment-based automation, with configurable reminder timing before the recall date. If online booking is enabled, recall messages can include a booking link so patients can take the next step from the message.

Can managers see what messages were sent?

Yes. Communication records can log calls, SMS, WhatsApp, and email, giving managers visibility into who contacted whom and when.

What if a patient does not want SMS?

Patient-level SMS preferences can be managed so disabled SMS communication is not sent to that patient.

Problem

Patient communication should not become a manual chase

Most clinics juggle unconfirmed appointments, paper lists, forgotten recall dates, and disconnected channels. Medicasimple keeps reminders, confirmations, and recall connected to your workflow.

The Morning Reminder Chase

Reception starts the day with a list of unconfirmed appointments, manual calls, and messages that never make it back into the diary.

The Missed Follow-up Window

Recall reminders sit in someone's memory or spreadsheet until the patient is already overdue.

The Channel Blind Spot

SMS, WhatsApp, email and calls happen in different places, so managers cannot see what was sent, who replied, or what needs a follow-up.

How it works

From template setup to follow-up visibility.

Configure the communication rules, send reminders and recall messages through configured channels, then keep status, replies, and next actions visible to the team.
