Doctors’ practices in France. An AI that answers your practice’s calls when every line is busy

When the lines are busy or the practice is closed, Vicem answers and takes a clear message.

In France, you can get a local number after a document check, or forward the calls you miss from your own number. Callers there usually speak French, and Vicem answers each one in their own language.

What your callers ask

  • “I need an appointment this week.”
  • “Are my test results back?”
  • “Can I get a repeat prescription?”
  • “Are you open on Saturday?”

How it works in France

  1. Get a local number

    A local number in France after a document check: an ID issued in France (a residence permit counts), a recent bill, and a local address.

  2. Give out your Vicem number

    Put your Vicem number on your website, card and profiles, and pick up in the app when you want to talk.

  3. Keep your number

    Forward the calls you miss to your Vicem number. It’s a US number, so your phone company may charge for each forwarded call.

Forwarding codes for your phone company

Callers in France usually speak French. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.

After hours and urgent calls

Vicem answers when the practice is closed, and when a caller says it’s urgent, it tells you right away. It can share the out-of-hours advice you give it.

For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 112.

Appointments and requests

Vicem takes the appointment request: the patient, the reason and the times that suit them. Your team confirms the time.

An example call. Sam is an example name; yours says your name.

  3. Vicem

    I can pass that on. What’s your name, and when are you free this week?

    Thank you, Tom. I’ve noted mornings this week. The practice will call you to confirm a time.
