They search by insurance, location, and availability, and they&#8217;re ready to schedule.<\/p>\n<p>83% of patients who book on Zocdoc are commercially insured. Millennials (aged 29-44) account for nearly half (46%) of bookings.<\/p>\n<p>That means access to high-value patients who are actively looking for care, without opening new locations.<\/p>\n<h2>How does Zocdoc turn interest into booked appointments?<\/h2>\n<p>Zocdoc removes the barriers that keep patients stuck. When access works, patients book:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Real-time availability through calendar integration<\/li>\n<li>24\/7 online booking: nearly half (43%) of appointments are booked when the doctor&#8217;s office is closed (5 pm to 9 am)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/about\/verifiedreviews\/\">Verified reviews<\/a> from real patients, collected after visits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Providers with 10+ reviews get 3x as many monthly bookings on average as those with none. The typical appointment takes place within 24 to 72 hours of booking. 4 in 5 patients rebook with the same provider.<\/p>\n<h2>How does Zocdoc pricing work?<\/h2>\n<p>Zocdoc uses a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/blog\/facts\/pay-per-booking-fees-explained\/\">pay-per-booking model<\/a>. Providers pay a one-time fee when a new patient books. There are no subscription fees, and monthly caps can be set or paused at any time.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no fee for bookings from existing patients. Bookings from your website, Google Business Profile, and select healthcare platforms are also free.<\/p>\n<p>On average, practices see an 8x return on investment from Zocdoc bookings. Practices can view bookings by source, appointment outcomes, and additionally filter to see spend.<\/p>\n<h2>Where else can patients find and book providers through Zocdoc?<\/h2>\n<p>Zocdoc extends beyond its app and website to help connect patients to care across multiple access points. Patients can book where they are already searching:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Google and other search engines<\/li>\n<li>Your practice website<\/li>\n<li>Insurance directories like Blue Shield of California<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All bookings flow through a single Zocdoc workflow, so your team can manage everything in one place.<\/p>\n<h1>How do Sponsored Results and Booking on Google work?<\/h1>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/provider-help\/en\/articles\/9134010-how-does-sponsored-results-work\">Sponsored Results<\/a> highlights providers in promoted placements through an auction model. The average cost per booking stays at or below your bid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zocdoc.com\/provider-help\/en\/articles\/8712613-what-is-book-from-google\">Booking on Google<\/a> lets patients schedule directly from Search and Maps using Zocdoc&#8217;s scheduling system. You capture high-intent demand while managing everything in one workflow.<\/p>\n<h2>Bottom line<\/h2>\n<p>Zocdoc is more than a listing site. It connects providers to millions of high-intent patients through:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A pay-per-booking model with no subscription fees<\/li>\n<li>Multi-channel visibility across Google, insurance directories, and healthcare platforms<\/li>\n<li>Tools like calendar integration, verified reviews, intake, reminders, and performance reporting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Measurable patient acquisition, with clear control over spend and volume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each month, millions of patients visit Zocdoc to connect to care across every state and specialty.
