For appointment-driven health and wellness practices

The front desk is with a client. The phone rings anyway.

Right On Call answers for physiotherapy, chiropractic, dental, massage, and wellness practices and studios. It books and reschedules around your front desk and sends anything clinical to your team. Regulated health practices get a privacy build on top. Studios and spas use the standard setup.

Clinics & Wellness

What it handles

  • Books appointments into your calendar, inside your hours
  • Reschedules by booking the new time and texting your desk to cancel the old one
  • Sends a day-before reminder text with the time
  • Answers hours, location, and what you offer, and passes everything else to your team
  • Sends clinical questions to your staff as a callback with name, number, and reason
  • Answers in English or French, whichever the caller starts in

Appointment-based practices lose bookings differently

A missed call at a clinic or studio isn't usually an emergency: it's a new client who wanted to book, a reschedule, or a question about hours. When reception is busy with people in the room, those calls are exactly the ones that go unanswered.

How it works

How it works at a front desk

01

Answers while your front desk is with clients

No more choosing between the phone and the person standing in front of you.

02

Books or reschedules

Books into your calendar against real availability. A reschedule books the new time and texts your desk to cancel the old one.

03

Texts your desk the details

Each booking sends your team a short text with the caller, the appointment type, and the time.

04

Hands off anything clinical

Questions that need a provider's judgment go straight to your team as a callback.

What's included

  • Books appointments into your calendar, inside your hours
  • Reschedules by booking the new time and texting your desk to cancel the old one
  • Sends a day-before reminder text with the time
  • Answers hours, location, and what you offer, and passes everything else to your team
  • Sends clinical questions to your staff as a callback with name, number, and reason
  • Answers in English or French, whichever the caller starts in

Pricing is the same across every industry we serve, except the regulated-practice privacy build, which is quoted separately. See pricing.

What it won't do

  • Give clinical or medical advice, or say whether a symptom can wait.
  • Diagnose or triage symptoms.
  • Cancel or move an existing appointment itself. Your desk does that.
  • Take a card number over the phone.

Does your business fall under PHIPA?

Wellness covers two kinds of business. Ontario’s health privacy law, PHIPA, applies to the people who provide regulated health care, not to the word wellness. Find your group below. Your regulatory college or privacy counsel makes the final call.

Usually outside PHIPA

Standard setup. PIPEDA applies to you, as it does to any business, and we collect only what a booking needs.

  • Yoga, pilates, and fitness studios
  • Gyms and personal training
  • Spas, salons, and esthetics
  • Float, sauna, and recovery studios
  • Relaxation services where no one on staff is a regulated health professional

Usually inside PHIPA

Regulated health practices are usually health information custodians. Ask for the privacy build below.

  • Physiotherapy and chiropractic
  • Dental and orthodontic practices
  • Registered massage therapy (registered massage therapists are regulated in Ontario)
  • Naturopathy, acupuncture, and traditional Chinese medicine
  • Psychology, psychotherapy, and counselling by registered practitioners
  • Optometry, dietetics, occupational therapy, and kinesiology
  • Med spas where a nurse or physician provides treatment

Mixed

Decide service by service. Ask which regulator oversees the person delivering the care, and treat that service as regulated.

  • A gym or spa that rents a room to a physiotherapist or massage therapist
  • A studio that runs a program led by a registered kinesiologist
  • A med spa where only some treatments are nurse-led

What the regulated-practice setup adds

  • Limited information only: the caller’s name, a callback number, new or returning, the type of appointment, and the times that suit them. No symptoms, health card numbers, or history, and no clinical advice.
  • A script that sends a medical emergency to 911 and texts anything urgent but not an emergency to your on-call staff.
  • A written agreement that limits us to using call data to run your line, requires us to tell you promptly about a breach, and requires secure deletion when you ask.
  • Our own secondary uses switched off for your practice: no anonymised learning pool, no customer-memory notes, and no review-request texts.
  • Reminder and confirmation texts that carry the time and your practice name and nothing clinical.
  • Our vendor list and where data is processed, in writing, for your privacy review or impact assessment.

This is a separately priced engagement, quoted before we start. We do not claim PHIPA compliance or certification for you. No PHIPA certificate exists for vendors, and the obligations sit with your practice. Some of our vendors process data in the United States. Our job is to give you a setup and an agreement your own privacy counsel can review, and we would ask you to have them do that before going live.

Frequently asked questions

Is this available now?

Yes. We set it up for studios and spas on the standard plan, and for regulated health practices with the privacy build described above.

Does my massage clinic need the PHIPA setup?

In Ontario, registered massage therapists are regulated health professionals, so a clinic with RMTs is usually a health information custodian under PHIPA. A spa offering relaxation services without regulated staff usually is not. Your college or privacy counsel can confirm which you are.

Are you PHIPA compliant or certified?

There is no PHIPA certification scheme for vendors, so no vendor can show you a certificate. PHIPA puts the duties on your practice. We support them with limited collection, a written agreement, and a vendor list you can review. We do not claim compliance on your behalf, and your own privacy counsel should review the setup.

Where is call data processed?

Some of our vendors process data in the United States. We give you the vendor list and where each one processes data, in writing, for your review.

Which booking tools does it work with?

Cal.com and Calendly connect from your dashboard. For another booking or practice-management system, tell us which one and we scope an adapter during setup. One adapter is included on the Managed plan.

Does pricing differ from the other industries?

The standard setup is priced the same across every industry. The regulated-practice privacy work is separate and is quoted before we start.
