How to Select an Outbound Caller ID

Module: Agent Application

Caller ID is the phone number shown on a patient’s device when your practice calls. It helps patients recognize the call as legitimate.

For single-location practices, a default Caller ID is typically set. For multi-location practices, agents can choose the appropriate outbound number from the dialpad to ensure patients see the correct location number.
