Bronson and its Community Connect patients or their designated proxy will receive an appointment notification text message when an appointment is scheduled. You will also receive an appointment confirmation text message two days before your appointment if it has not already been confirmed. Patients should review the date and time of each appointment and use the prompts provided in the message to either confirm, reschedule, or cancel the appointment.
If you are seeking an alternate appointment time and have been put on the waitlist by a staff member from your provider’s office, you may receive additional text messages offering a different appointment time and/or date. By using the prompts provided in the text message, you can either accept (reschedule) or decline the new appointment. If you choose to reschedule, the new appointment slot will replace your previously scheduled appointment. If you decline the new appointment offer, you will continue to remain on the waitlist until you complete your appointment or are removed from the waitlist.
Bronson and its Community Connect patients will receive text message reminders for all appointments directly related to their care.
If you do not respond to the appointment confirmation text message, your appointment will remain scheduled, but you may get a phone call from your provider’s office to confirm.
