Can clinics use Instagram DMs for patient inquiries?

Yes — through Meta's Messenger Platform, which powers DMs on Instagram Business accounts. Bot MD connects to your Instagram Business account and automates DM responses, qualification, and handover.

Can Bot MD automate Instagram patient conversations?

Yes. Bot MD handles routine DM volume — service questions, pricing, package details, appointment requests — and routes patients to booking or a clinic staff member when needed.

Can Instagram DMs be converted into appointment requests?

Yes. The Scheduling Agent can book directly against your clinic's scheduling system, or route booking-ready patients into a staff queue for human handover.

Can Bot MD qualify leads from Instagram campaigns?

Yes. The Recommendation Agent collects service preference, location, insurance, and urgency — so clinic staff receive qualified, ready-to-book inquiries.

Can Instagram inquiries be handed over to a human team?

Yes. Configurable handover rules route conversations to a staff inbox with full context, so the team can pick up where the AI left off.

How is Bot MD different from Instagram quick replies?

Quick replies are static templates triggered by keywords. Bot MD runs conversational, healthcare-aware workflows — qualification, recommendation, booking, attribution — integrated with your clinic's systems.

Why Instagram

Why Instagram matters for clinics and consumer-facing healthcare

Instagram is the most active inquiry channel for private clinics, aesthetic medicine, wellness centers, health screening, dental, dermatology, fertility, pediatrics, and consumer-facing healthcare brands. Patients ask price, package, and availability questions in DMs — and most of those inquiries decay without a fast response.
