The AI receptionist optometrists hire to keep the chair filled.
Annual exam recall, VSP/EyeMed verification, glasses-ready calls, and contact-lens reorders all hit your front desk on the same line — and a missed call is a missed exam slot you can't backfill same-day. Voipy answers every call, runs vision-insurance verification before booking, and handles routine glasses + lens reorders end-to-end.

What it solves for optometry and eye-care practices
How it handles your call patterns
| Caller intent | Voipy handling |
|---|---|
| Annual exam booking | Captures patient name, DOB, last-exam date, vision-insurance carrier + member ID. Verifies in-network status against your accepted-carriers list before quoting copay or booking the slot. |
| Vision-insurance verification | Reads from your accepted-carrier list (VSP, EyeMed, Davis Vision, Spectera, Superior, MES, NVA); quotes typical exam copay + frame allowance + lens-upgrade out-of-pocket; never quotes a specific benefits amount. |
| Glasses-ready notification | Outbound text + voicemail when the lab returns finished glasses; offers to book a 15-minute fitting slot. |
| Contact-lens reorder | Looks up the patient's prescription expiration; if valid, places the reorder against your lens distributor (ABB, EZContacts, your in-house); if expired, books the contact-lens evaluation exam. |
| Emergency / acute eye complaint | Recognizes red-flag language (sudden vision loss, flashing lights + floaters = retinal detachment, foreign body, chemical splash); reads your acute-care protocol (urgent slot today, ER referral if after-hours), pages the OD via SMS. |
| LASIK / cataract / specialty consult | Routes to the surgical coordinator's queue; doesn't book a routine exam slot for surgical-track patients. |
| Cold solicitation / vendor pitch | Politely declined; never reaches the chair. |
Works with your stack
Why it pays for itself
- Annual recall callbacks land on Voipy 24/7 — patients book without playing phone tag.
- Vision-insurance verification happens before the exam, not during.
- Glasses-ready callbacks no longer interrupt fittings.
FAQ for optometry and eye-care practices
Will it verify VSP / EyeMed / Davis Vision benefits in real time?
We capture the member ID and carrier and quote your tenant-configured typical copay + frame allowance + lens-upgrade pricing. Real-time benefit lookups against the carrier APIs (where available) are on the Practice and Enterprise plans for VSP and EyeMed; Davis / Spectera / Superior verifications are queued for staff because their APIs are inconsistent.
How does annual recall work?
Voipy can run outbound recall sequences (SMS + voicemail-drop) on your patient roster's annual-exam-due dates pulled from your PMS. Patients who call back land on the booking flow with their record pre-loaded — no 'what's your last name' / 'spell that' / 'and your DOB' before the AI even has the calendar.
Can it process contact-lens reorders end-to-end?
Yes — for patients with a current valid Rx (your PMS confirms expiration). Voipy captures box count + brand confirmation, places the reorder against your distributor (ABB, EZContacts, or in-house), quotes ship time, and texts a tracking link when shipped. Expired-Rx patients get auto-routed to the contact-lens evaluation exam booking flow instead.
What about LASIK / cataract / glaucoma specialty referrals?
Surgical-coordinator routing is configurable per-tenant. Voipy recognizes 'I'm interested in LASIK', 'my cataract surgery', 'my glaucoma follow-up' and routes those calls to a separate queue from routine exams — your surgical coordinator's number, with the call summary, instead of a booked exam slot.
What about emergency eye complaints — retinal detachment, chemical splash, sudden vision loss?
Acute-care language triggers a separate flow: Voipy reads your tenant's emergency protocol verbatim (ER vs same-day urgent slot vs nearest open ophthalmologist), pages the on-call OD via SMS, and stays on the line until the caller is connected. We do not book a routine exam slot for callers presenting acute-vision complaints.
