Question 4) My staff does not have time to create Email Marketing every month, can PatientGain do it for me?

Yes, PatientGain will completely create your email marketing campaigns for you. PatientGain’s EMail marketing service is a fully managed “Done-For-You” (DFY) model specifically designed so busy clinic staff do not have to write copy, design templates, and setup for you to review – so your practice manager simply needs to review the final campaigns and click on “APPROVE”.

PatientGain’s EMail marketing service consists of AI agents, intelligence database based on your services and a human project manager.

How the Done-For-You Process Works

  • Automated Content & Imagery Creation: PatientGain’s platform automatically generates up to three custom email campaigns per month, 36 campaigns per year – this happens to be the optimal number of campaigns for most healthcare practices. The content includes professional medical copy, custom graphics, and seasonal wellness promotions, tested CTAs (Call To Actions) tailored entirely to your specific clinical specialty (covering over 42+ medical and dental fields).
  • Dedicated Human Management: Every medical practice is assigned a dedicated Project Manager and Technical Lead. They ensure your custom clinic branding, correct logos, and specific call-to-action links are properly embedded into every Email blast.
  • Human-In-The-Loop (HILT) Approval: To ensure strict legal and clinical safety, campaigns are never sent without your eyes on them. The finalized drafts are sent directly to your practice dashboard. A designated staff member simply reviews the content and clicks “APPROVED”.
  • Legal Compliance Logging: Once approved, PatientGain’s system automatically records your IP address and logs a precise legal timestamp for compliance protection before scheduling the blast.
  • Automated List Maintenance: You do not need to spend time cleaning data. The software natively scrubs your contact lists, automatically eliminating duplicate addresses, bounced emails, unsubscribes, and contacts with poor sender reputation scores.

Question 5) Examples of Content Created By PatientGain’s Full Service Email Marketing

Rather than aggressive sales pitches, PatientGain focuses heavily on “soft-touch” educational material. They build campaigns around:

  • Specific service education (e.g., “The Benefits of Morpheus8” or “Managing Chronic Back Pain”)
  • Seasonal health advice and preventative care reminders
  • Operational updates like updated holiday hours or welcoming new clinic staff
  • Event based: Happy mother’s day
  • Birthday cards sent to patients (You need to add DOB in the CRM)
  • For PLATINUM and PLATINUM+ Customer they also get one image based, branded campaign – See examples below:
  • Example of an announcement – “Rebecca is available on Saturdays” sent to all of your patients and clients by Email. With a CTA to book on Rebecca’s calendar.

Question 6) Will I get human support if I have questions?

Yes, you will receive dedicated human support if you use PatientGain. Despite the platform utilizing AI automation for marketing and routine patient workflows, PatientGain provides structured human oversight to assist their customers.

Dedicated Human Account Team

  • Assigned Professionals: Every client receives an assigned Project Manager and a Technical Lead. You work with the same team consistently rather than reaching a generic help desk.
  • Subject Matter Experts: Your primary contacts are backed by a broader team of clinical marketing and technical experts. For example to manage and run your Google PPC ads or Meta Ads, there is a specific team with applicable certifications to manage and run your ads.
  • Escalation Path: There is no cap on how many times you can contact support; complex questions are immediately escalated to appropriate senior staff. 
  • Minimum Required Monthly Account Review: PatientGain requests that ALL customers meet with the assigned Project Manager once a month on a Zoom meeting.

Contact Channels

  • Support Dashboards: The primary and fastest way to connect with your team is through your PatientGain Secure Dashboard.
  • Text and Video Meetings: You can text your project manager directly or schedule dedicated Zoom web meetings for screen sharing and face-to-face assistance.
  • Email Support: Non-urgent requests can be sent directly to your assigned project team or via PatientGain Contact Center channels.

Operational Constraints to Keep in Mind

  • No Cold Phone Support: PatientGain enforces a strict digital-first policy to prevent communication leaks. They do not provide an open, unscheduled phone line for outbound sales inquiries or unscheduled inbound trouble shooting. Support should be initiated through the dashboard to trigger an immediate text, email, or Zoom response.

Question 7) What are different categories of Emails?

There are generally 2 categories of Emails 1) Transaction Emails 2) Marketing Emails. In the context of healthcare, the primary difference between transactional and marketing emails lies in their purpose, trigger, and legal requirements (such as HIPAA and CAN-SPAM)

1. Transactional Emails

Transactional emails (also called triggered or functional emails) are essential messages sent to a specific individual to facilitate an already agreed-upon interaction.

  • Purpose: To provide critical information or updates related to a user’s specific action.
  • Trigger: Automated and sent immediately after a user action (e.g., signing up, making a payment).
  • Examples:
    • Medical: Medication reminders, lab test results, or appointment confirmations.
    • General: Password resets, purchase receipts, shipping notifications, and account alerts.
  • Legal Rules:
    • No Opt-in Needed: Because they are considered “necessary,” you do not need prior consent to send them.
    • Unsubscribe Link: Generally not required, as users cannot “opt out” of essential account updates.

2. Marketing & Promotional Emails

Marketing emails (or promotional emails) are sent to groups of people to encourage them to take a newaction, such as buying a service or joining an event.

  • Purpose: Commercial—to increase brand awareness, promote sales, and generate new leads.
  • Trigger: Usually scheduled or sent as one-off campaigns to segments of a mailing list.
  • Examples:
    • Medical: Monthly newsletters, promotions for elective services (e.g., teeth whitening), or general wellness tips.
    • General: Flash sale announcements, product launches, and seasonal discounts.
  • Legal Rules:
    • Opt-in Required: Recipients must explicitly consent to receive these.
    • Unsubscribe Link: Mandatory by law (CAN-SPAM); you must provide a clear way for users to opt out.

Primary GoalInform/FacilitatePersuade/Promote
SpeedInstant/Highly time-sensitiveFlexible timing
ConsentNot required for deliveryExplicit opt-in required
UnsubscribeNot required (often omitted)Mandatory link required

Note on “Mixed” Content: If you add promotional content to a transactional email (like a discount code at the bottom of a receipt), the primary purpose must remain transactional. If the marketing portion becomes too prominent, the law may reclassify it as a marketing email, making it subject to opt-in and unsubscribe. PatientGain highly recommends that a healthcare practice should not mix them. If you do use mixed content, and use PatientGain service, you must use it as promotional content. Typically PatientGain does not allow mixed content campaigns.

What are different type of Emails typically sent by medical and dental practices?

Typically every healthcare provider uses the following:

  1. Monthly Email Marketing – newsletter campaigns – These are classified as “Marketing” emails. And there are strict guidelines. PatientGain does not allow SPAM emails, and if you have purchased a list or “exchanged” a list, PatientGain considers this as a SPAM Emails.
  2. Transactional Emails – Like confirming appointment. Sending 2 factor authentication.
  3. Secure Emails – Like sending or receiving patient’s test results.
  4. Personal Emails – A provider sending any personal recommendation or referral to another provider.

Example: Dashboard Email Marketing of a real Primary Care. You can see that November 12, Email 9128 Emails were included in the campaign. Out of the total, 46% of the newsletters were opened.
