How sleep clinics use Chatref to answer cost and referral questions on their website before patients call.

Prospective patients used to leave our site without answers. Now Chatref answers their first question and captures their details while they are still engaged.
The consistency is the big win. Every visitor gets the same accurate cost information from our own content, not a range a staff member guessed.

How much does a sleep study cost without insurance?
Chatref answers from your clinic's own cost information. It shares what you have published – it does not make specific cost claims your content doesn't support.
Do I need a referral to book a sleep study?
Chatref answers from your intake requirements. If your clinic accepts self-referrals, it explains that. If a physician referral is required, it tells patients what to ask their doctor.
Can it answer questions about specific insurance plans?
Chatref answers from your general insurance guidance. For specific plan coverage questions, it routes the patient to a coordinator or your billing team.

Chatref explains the differences from your content and helps patients understand the next step. It does not direct a patient toward a specific study type – that decision stays with their provider.
