How do I advertise Virtual Consults?
1) Explain the Virtual Consult on your website. Click here to see an example of how a practice has explained the virtual consult on their website. Here is an example of the pictures you'll want them to send you:
Once the patient sends in the text, it'll be visible in Rhinogram and the Orthodontist can handle it from there.
2) Put it in your phone greeting! When prospective patients call into your office they often hear a phone greeting. You can add a message that says "If you're calling to see if you qualify for braces and find out how much they costs text VIRTUAL CONSULT to 888-888-8888."
Once you get the text, you can use a template in Rhinogram that shows an example of what pictures you need and requests that the prospect respond to the text with them.
3) Connect Rhinogram to your existing Facebook Ads with a focus on virtual consults. Once you enable the Rhinogram/ Facebook integration any message a prospect sends you through Facebook will come into your Rhinogram account where you can conduct the virtual consult in a compliant manner.
Building Your Rhinogram Workflow
Once you get a lead in Rhinogram what you do next is really important. First and foremost, you're going to want to make sure it's okay with that patient/prospect that you're communicating with them through FB messenger or text. While Rhinogram and your end of things are 100% compliant and secure, the patient's personal device may not be. We always advise you send over the HIPAA consent request before offering any treatment plan advice or requesting any personal information.
What do I do after the pics come in?
Next, you'll want to evaluate the pictures and give the prospect treatment options and a general range for cost.
Then, ask the prospect to come in for a FREE Financial or Physical Consult to discuss further or plan out the treatment. You'll find that offering this free in-person consult after the virtual consult will help you to convert more leads.
If a patient doesn't immediately accept, don't give up. It sometimes can take weeks or months for a prospect to consider braces as it's a serious financial commitment. The great thing is, you can use Rhinogram to ask for their insurance information and credit history to qualify them financially from the comfort of their home. Asking for pictures of insurance cards to run a check is a great way to continue the conversation.
