How does Heron know about my practice?

Heron scans your practice website to understand more about your services. You can also customize it further with customizable prompts, extra documents and personalized rules.

Can I customize how Heron sounds?

Does Heron provide medical advice?

No. Heron is not considered a medical staff member. It will handle general inquiries, appointment reminders, information collection, and other operational tasks. But it will always flag the conversation to a staff member when needed.

What happens if I exceed my plan’s usage limits?

Essential$2.00 per call
$2.00 per WhatsApp AI chat
$2.00 per email AI handling
$0.15 per SMS
Plus$1.50 per call

$1.50 per email AI handling
$0.10 per SMS
Premier$1.00 per call
