Overview
Helix Urgent Care struggled with a surge in patient inquiries that overwhelmed front-desk staff and led to missed telehealth connections. By deploying AI Receptionist, the clinic successfully automated 64% of its inbound traffic, including prescription and billing questions. This shift eliminated the "manpower bottleneck," allowing the organization to maintain a 100% answer rate while refocusing personnel on critical in-person clinical support and back-office tasks.
The results have been impressive and immediate. In just one week, RingCentral AI Receptionist handled 310 calls, answering every single one. The fact that the AI Receptionist can answer multiple calls simultaneously is just great.

About our customer
Helix Urgent Care, based in Florida, has delivered prompt and reliable medical attention to its community for more than two decades. The organization operates six physical clinics alongside a thriving telemedicine division to provide accessible alternatives to traditional primary care.
The challenge: Missed calls and patient frustration
As Helix grew, the sheer volume of phone inquiries became unmanageable, requiring two full-time employees per location just to monitor the lines. This reliance on "pure manpower" created a severe service lag where patients were forced into long voicemail queues, leading to frequent complaints about feeling ignored. The telemedicine branch was particularly vulnerable, as remote staff struggled to keep pace with high-frequency questions regarding prescriptions and billing.
