Bulk Communications
Bulk Communications
Bulk communications refers to methods of mass communicating with patients through the system (e.g. Appointment Reminders, Recalls, Patient Educ, Portal Forms, etc).
There are few exceptions to these such as Portal Invites and Collections which always use the Guarantor.

Setting Defaults for New Patients

Patient Text Preferences
Bulk Communications
If you change the settings ‘May Phone’ and ‘May Text’ when adding a new patient, those settings will also update the Bulk setting.
Bulk Communications
A patient may have different Bulk value settings than the individual setting. For example the patient may not want to get Patient Reminder notifications, but does not object to an occasional text message. In this case the Bulk Text would be set to ‘NO’ and the individual ‘May Text’ will be set to ‘Patient.’
Bulk Communications
When this update is installed, the setting in the Company table will default to ‘Patient’ on a patient system and ‘Guarantor’ on a Family system.

Patients can confirm and cancel their appointment by responding on the reminder phone call.
The pricing for this service is dependent upon volume and how it will be utilized.
