ROI of Automating Appointment Scheduling in Healthcare

Calculate the ROI of automating appointment scheduling for your healthcare business. See how much time, money, and effort you can save with Arahi AI — backed by real metrics.

The True Cost of Manual Appointment Scheduling

Every hour your healthcare team spends on manual appointment scheduling is an hour they are not spending on strategic work that drives growth. At $65/hour and 10 hours per week, the labor cost alone exceeds $34K per year — before factoring in the cost of errors, rework, employee turnover, and the opportunities you miss while your team is buried in routine tasks.

AI-powered appointment scheduling automation changes the economics entirely. Instead of scaling costs linearly with volume, your healthcare business can handle 120+ appointments booked per month with minimal human oversight. The result: a < 21 days payback period and compounding returns as your business grows. Here is the detailed breakdown.
