AI Receptionist for Mental & Behavioral Health

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Our AI voice agents answer, qualify, and book inquiries using your calendar and your rules, and any call can be handed to a real person on your team with full context the moment a caller needs a human. You set the rules for how calls flow, so sensitive conversations reach your staff quickly rather than getting stuck in a phone tree or voicemail.","question":"How does an AI receptionist handle sensitive mental health calls appropriately?"},{"answer":"Yes. Worqd works with your existing CRM, helpdesk, and phone tools — there's no platform switch and no new system to learn. We're a growth partner, not another piece of practice management software, so we plug into what your clinic already runs.","question":"Will the AI receptionist work with our existing behavioral health EHR and phone setup?"},{"answer":"There's no public pricing because work is scoped against the results that matter to you, not the hours we log. Everything starts with a free growth call where we identify your bottleneck and build a plan. AI SDRs deliver a claimed 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR hire.","question":"Our clinic can't afford to hire another front-desk person — how is this priced?"},{"answer":"Our process starts by finding the bottleneck, then building the plan for priority channels and the lead-handling path. Campaigns, creative, outreach, and response go into motion quickly — paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch, while SEO compounds over months.","question":"How fast can we get the AI receptionist answering our clinic's phones?"},{"answer":"An answering service just takes messages. A typical agency just runs ads. Worqd does both under one plan — paid ads, creative, and instant AI follow-up from first click to booked call, with one report and no vanity metrics. And unlike a static answering service, our AI qualifies each inquiry in under 60 seconds and books straight into your calendar, 24/7.","question":"How is this different from hiring a medical answering service or another marketing agency?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"On a free growth call, we look at your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where growth is stuck — before touching anything."},{"step":"2","title":"Build and launch fast","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We build the plan — priority channels and the lead-handling path — then put campaigns, creative, outreach, and AI response into motion.
