Meet Rubi, Rubicall’s always-on front-desk assistant

Don’t let a missed call become a lost patient.

Rubi answers the calls your front desk can’t get to, texts back the ones that hang up, captures what the patient needs, and hands the rest to your team.

Answers forwarded calls. Follows your rules. Hands off what needs judgment.

Answer rate — forwarded calls Rubi answers

Capture rate — complete requests delivered to staff

Handoff rate — calls that needed a person

Time to answer — median seconds to first word

Three calls your front desk sees every day.

These representative scenarios show how Rubi can handle a routine first response while your staff stays focused on the patient in front of them.

A new patient calls during check-in.

Instead of voicemail, the call forwards to Rubi, which asks what they need, captures their preferred time, and sends one complete request to staff.

A caller reaches the office at lunch.

Rubi answers, handles common practice questions, and keeps the conversation moving before the caller tries another office.

A patient needs to reschedule after hours.

Rubi picks up, collects the requested change, follows your scheduling rules, and puts a clear next step in tomorrow’s queue.

Missed call in. Clean handoff out.

No new script for your team to learn. Rubi follows the hours, services, FAQs, and scheduling rules you approve.

The call is forwarded

Unanswered, busy or after-hours calls reach Rubi. Your staff always get first pick: your phones ring them before anything forwards.

Rubi handles the routine

Rubi identifies what the caller needs, answers FAQs, and collects the required details consistently.

Staff get one clear summary

Each request arrives with the patient’s need, preferred time, and full transcript, and exceptions are flagged for a person.

      See the cost hidden in repeat work.

      Enter your staffing costs to see how much labor is tied to repeated calls, texts, and schedule changes. Compare that workload with the monthly plan fee.

      This is the cost available to reduce—not a guaranteed savings claim.

      Repetitive-work cost: 3 people × $28/hr × 40 hrs × 4.33 weeks × 30%. This is not an estimate of product savings.

      What a missed call can cost

      Revenue at stake

      Some missed callers are new patients who simply call the next practice on the list. Estimate what winning back a share of them with a fast reply could be worth each month.

      Start from the defaults or enter your own numbers.

      Estimated new-patient revenue at stake per month$12,470

      Revenue at stake: 20 missed calls × 30% new patients × 40% won back × $1,200 × 4.33 weeks. An estimate from your inputs, not a guarantee.

      Fits the office you already run.

      Keep your phones and your practice software. Rubicall works alongside both, under a signed BAA.

      See exactly what Rubi does for your practice.

      Rubi runs on your real forwarded calls. Every month you see how many calls it answered, how many complete booking requests reached your staff, and which calls needed a person, and why. Missed-call text-back within seconds is a measured target, not a promise.
