TCPA + opt-out

Every patient opts in at intake with written consent. Every text includes a reply-STOP path. The moment a patient texts STOP, every channel (appointment, growth, billing, lifecycle) goes silent on that number — even confirmations. They can opt back in by texting START. Spanish-language patients get the parallel PARE/EMPEZAR path. We never send marketing SMS to phone numbers we don't have consent for.

See the rest of the system

SMS is one layer. The phone receptionist and the in-clinic kiosk + console handle the rest.
