Each medical system is very different.

No. This tool is not intended to be used for unwanted calls. Therefore, they do not integrate with state and national "Do Not Call" lists. The WellConnect vendor, Text-Em-All manages its own "Do Not Call" list. Recipients may elect to be added to this list by visiting Text-Em-All.com and clicking “Opt Out”.
If someone is not available to answer, the WellConnect tool will also deliver to an answering machine. If a telephone line is busy, or someone doesn't have an answering machine, the tool will attempt to deliver your message 3 additional times (5 minutes later, then 15 minutes later, and again 15 minutes later). You may customize the number of retries to be fewer than 3.
