No. The typical appointment scheduling application is a module within a billing system.  These billing system-based applications have direct access to patient contact information, but offer very limited appointment functionality and do not provide any marketing capabilities necessary to bring patients to the practice.  Typically a billing based appointment scheduling application will do little more than support manually schedule appointments during office hours.  That is similar functionality to Microsoft Outlook, but lack the features, connectivity and remote access necessary to engage patients in the appointment process. 
AppointYou goes beyond typical "office hours" appointment scheduling to provide features that engage patients in the appointment demand creation process and the self-scheduling appointment features that are now an expectation of most patients:

• Ready-to-send Marketing Campaigns (voice, email, text-msg)
• Patients Self-schedule Appointments from Email
• Patients Self-schedule Appointments from Practice Website
• Patients Can Self-reschedule and Cancel Appointments Online
• 24/7 Patient Access to Appointments Through Any Browser
• 24/7 Physician  AppointYou Access Through Any Browser
• Free Reminders for Appointments (voice, email, text-msg)
• Patients Can View All Offers Online and Schedule Appointments
• Manually Schedule Appointments During Office Hours

AppointYou will keep your billing contacts in sync with AppointYou marketing database by uploading a current version of your patient contact information at no charge.  You may also enter new patient information directly into the AppointYou Contact Information Tab.
