How much do physio clinics lose to missed calls?

A typical clinic at 45 calls/week, $110 blended ticket (initial + follow-ups), and 40% conversion leaks $50K-$95K per year. The compounding cost is higher because each missed new patient is also a missed treatment plan worth 8-15 sessions.

Can it handle ICBC, WSBC, and MSP intake?

Yes. The agent confirms coverage type, captures claim/policy numbers, and routes to the right appointment type. For WSBC and ICBC specifically, we capture the active claim status, treatment count to date, and any GP referral details so your front desk has everything ready.

Does it integrate with Jane App / Practice Better?

Booking webhook integration is included in Built for you setup. We connect to your practice management system. $1,000 one-time setup, $500/month CAD flat.

What if a call needs clinical triage?

The agent never gives clinical advice. For acute injury or urgent pain, it tags the booking urgent and texts you immediately so a clinician can call back. Routine bookings (regular follow-ups, post-surgical rehab, exercise check-ins) go straight into the calendar.

Missed Call Revenue Calculator for Physiotherapists (Canada, 2026)

1. Pick your trade

Defaults are loaded from industry data and you can adjust them below.

2. Pick your current coverage

Even with a receptionist, you're missing calls. Watch the leakage shift.

3. Tune the numbers (or use trade defaults)

Industry defaults loaded for the trade you picked above. Adjust to match your reality.

Calls per week

Total inbound calls your business gets each week. The defaults are directional only — every published per-trade calls/week number traces back to AI-receptionist vendor blogs with no primary research, so adjust to YOUR actual call volume. Rough ranges: solo 30-80/wk, 1-3 trucks 80-200/wk, 5+ trucks 200+/wk.

Average ticket ($ CAD)

Mix-weighted revenue per booked job — across ALL job types this trade does. A plumber's "average ticket" isn't just the $200 leaky-faucet fix; it includes the $5,000 hot water tank install and the $1,500 sewer-line repair too. Every missed call could have been the high-value lead.

Conversion rate (%)

Of the calls you DO answer, what % become paying jobs?

Weekend call %

What share of weekly calls land Saturday or Sunday.

After-hours call %

Weekday calls that arrive before 9am or after 5pm.

Years of customer relationship

How long a typical customer keeps coming back before they move, retire, or switch trades. Default is 5 years. A missed call today isn't one $500 job — it's a customer relationship worth 5 years of repeat business + referrals.

What we deliberately do NOT claim

"~~85% of voicemail callers never call back~~" — widely repeated in the category but traces to a vendor (PATLive), not peer-reviewed research. We use Invoca 2025's verified 55%-speak-with-a-person figure instead.
"~~78% hire whoever picks up first~~" — originally from MIT/InsideSales 2007 about B2B sales leads, repeated as if it were home-services research. We cite the more rigorous Service Direct 2022 finding (35% say "answering the initial call" is most important) instead.
"~~$126,000/year missed-call cost~~" — traces to AMBS Call Center (vendor), not academic. Our calculator computes from your specific inputs instead.
"~~Weekend leads convert at higher rates~~" — verification research could not find primary support. For some trades (plumbing, HVAC) Mon-Tue is actually the conversion peak. We removed the weekend conversion multiplier.

All figures verified by independent web research 2026-05-03. Per-trade calls-per-week defaults remain directional — no published primary research exists; adjust the slider to your actual call volume. Last updated: 2026-05-03.
