Scope of Work

What Mayla Handles — and What It Doesn't

Transparency is part of our product. Here's exactly where Mayla operates and where it hands off to your team.

✓ What Mayla Handles

  • Appointment booking — new and existing patients
  • Scheduling changes and cancellations
  • After-hours inquiries and voicemail elimination
  • New patient onboarding questions
  • Basic insurance questions (in-network/out-of-network status)
  • Emergency routing — to your on-call line or emergency contact
  • Appointment reminders and confirmations
  • Multi-location routing (Growth and Scale plans)

✗ What Mayla Transfers to Your Team

  • Complex clinical questions requiring provider input
  • True dental emergencies (routes to emergency line immediately)
  • Detailed insurance billing disputes
  • Prescription inquiries
  • Anything the patient requests a human for
  • Calls requiring access to clinical records

When Mayla transfers a call, it passes context to your team so the patient doesn't have to repeat themselves. You decide what transfer criteria to set.

FAQ

Common Questions

How does Mayla integrate with my practice management system?

Mayla connects directly to Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Jane App, Open Dental, and Curve Dental via their scheduling APIs. During your 48-hour setup, our team handles the integration and tests it against your real availability before any patient call goes live. No IT staff required on your end.

Can I customize what Mayla says?

Yes. During onboarding you provide your practice name, the services you offer, your hours, how you like to handle new vs. existing patients, and any specific scripting preferences. Mayla is configured to match your practice's voice and policies before going live. If you need updates later, they're made in your dashboard and take effect within 24 hours.

What happens during the 48-hour setup?

Day 1: We collect your practice info via a short intake form (~15 minutes), configure Mayla, and connect to your PMS.

Day 2: We run test calls against real scenarios — new patient booking, reschedule request, after-hours inquiry, emergency routing. You review and approve. Once you sign off, calls go live.

Total time required from you: under 30 minutes.

How does Mayla know my hours and services?

Your hours, services, location, and booking rules are all set during the intake process. If anything changes — a new provider, updated hours, holiday closures — you update it in your Mayla dashboard and it takes effect immediately. No re-onboarding required.

What happens if a patient calls with a dental emergency?

Mayla detects emergency language in real time and immediately routes the call to your designated emergency contact or on-call line — it does not attempt to handle true emergencies itself. You configure the emergency routing criteria and destination number during setup.

Is there a contract? What if I want to cancel?

All Mayla plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract. You can cancel at any time — we just ask for 30 days notice so we can help transition your call handling. We also offer a 30-day performance guarantee: if Mayla doesn't book at least one new patient you would have otherwise missed, we refund your first month.
