How Early Arrival Reminders Work
Early Arrival Reminders adjust the time shown in YAPI's automated Appointment Reminders by telling your patient their appointment is earlier than it is on your schedule. This is especially helpful when patients need to come early to fill out consent forms or discuss a particular treatment.
In YAPI's Appointment Reminder settings, you can set early arrival reminders to send for selected procedures by entering its dental procedure code.
