For psychiatry practices
Referral calls come in while you’re with patients. Salutant answers your practice phone day and night, tells callers what your practice needs from a referral, handles cancellations by your policy and gives crisis numbers to a caller who needs them.
Free · no card · hear it answer before you sign up
Example · made-up practiceA caller with a referral is told what your practice needs before a first appointment, in the words you write, and hears your wait time if you list it. It takes their details as a message or offers only times that are free in your diary.
NeverNever books a new patient onto a closed list. When you’ve paused new patients, it takes a message.
A patient who cancels or wants to move hears your cancellation policy in your wording. The request comes to you with the appointment, for one-tap action.
NeverNever charges, waives or calculates a fee.
A caller describing an emergency is told to call triple zero (000) and given Lifeline on 13 11 14, the Suicide Call Back Service and 13YARN. Questions about symptoms, results or medication become a message for the practice.
NeverNever gives medical advice, assesses or triages.
After every call you get one email: who rang, what they asked for, what the receptionist did and anything that needs your tap.

Call handled — message for you
What the receptionist did
Example · made-up practiceIf the write to your diary fails, the caller is not told they are booked, and the call is flagged for you.

No. It is a receptionist. It answers questions from the information you give it, books by your rules and takes messages. It never gives medical advice, assesses or triages.
A caller describing an emergency is told to call triple zero (000) and given Lifeline on 13 11 14, the Suicide Call Back Service and 13YARN. It never assesses or triages.
Only if you choose. Review mode is on by default, so a booking is a request until you approve it. Switch review mode off and a booking lands in your diary the moment the call ends. The caller only hears “booked” once it has their name and number and has checked the time is still free.
You write what your practice needs from a referred client, and it tells callers that. It records the funding a caller mentions, such as a GP referral, as they state it, and never decides whether they are eligible.
No. It keeps a written record of each call and does not record the audio, except a voicemail a caller chooses to leave.
It books into Halaxy, Cliniko and Nookal, offering only times that are free in your diary.
No. Some callers change their mind about speaking with an AI receptionist, and some calls are spam. In good faith, if a call ends within the first 20 seconds, we don’t charge for it: it uses none of your minutes or balance. Every other call counts each started minute.
