Capture patient and reason
Required: name, DOB, new vs existing patient, reason for visit, preferred date window, best phone. Optional: insurance carrier, current medications, referring physician.
Form template · Doctor appointment
Doctor offices field 30-50 appointment-request calls a day. The form takes the routine ones (checkup, follow-up, prescription refill) off the phone queue so reception can focus on the urgent calls.
This template is one of our free HTML form templates. See more form templates by industry.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Doctor Appointment Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Doctor Appointment Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

<script src="https://splitforms.com/embed.js" async></script>How to add it
To add a Doctor Appointment Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
Required: name, DOB, new vs existing patient, reason for visit, preferred date window, best phone. Optional: insurance carrier, current medications, referring physician.
Capture insurance carrier and policy / member ID. Front desk runs eligibility before scheduling — surprise denials at the visit damage the patient relationship. Most EHR systems (Epic, Athena, eClinicalWorks) accept eligibility checks via webhook.
Webhook to Twilio — patient gets a text within hours confirming the slot, or offering alternatives. Reception adds to the EHR scheduling module from the form data.
What's included
Doctor offices — primary care, specialty practices, urgent care — handle 30-50 appointment-request calls a day, plus another 30-50 for prescription refills, referrals, and insurance questions. The phone queue eats reception staff. The appointment form captures new vs existing patient, reason for visit, insurance carrier, preferred date / time window, and best contact phone. Reception schedules from the form during slow stretches instead of rushing the calls. New-patient inquiries also need insurance verification before the visit — capturing carrier and policy number upfront lets the office check eligibility before the appointment, which saves billing rework. Webhooks into Athena / DrChrono / eClinicalWorks · NOT HIPAA-compliant out of the box.

Where submissions go
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and automatic spam scoring filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

How SplitForms works
splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Point your form to your unique SplitForms endpoint. That's it.

We instantly capture and organize every submission in your inbox.

Send data to email, spreadsheets, CRMs, webhooks, and 7,000+ apps.

No credit card required. Set up in under 60 seconds.
Connect & automate
On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Questions
splitforms is not HIPAA-compliant out of the box — the standard plan doesn't ship a BAA. For real PHI (medical history, diagnoses, treatment), use a HIPAA-compliant form provider (JotForm HIPAA tier, Formstack Healthcare, Paubox Forms). The splitforms form is fine for appointment-request basics (name, phone, reason) but should not collect detailed medical history. Consult your HIPAA security officer.
Most EHRs accept inbound webhooks via Zapier or HL7 / FHIR APIs. Athena and DrChrono have direct API access; Epic typically requires a vendor integration. The form's JSON maps to the EHR's appointment-request fields. Confirm with your EHR vendor before deploying.
Add a 'reason for visit' option of 'prescription refill'. Most practices route refill requests to the nurse / MA queue, not the appointment scheduler. Webhook branches on this field to the right team. Alternatively, route refills to the patient portal directly — federal law (CARES Act) requires patient portal access for clinical communication.
Add an urgency field. Same-day requests should still go via phone — the form is not for emergencies. The form's auto-responder should explicitly say 'for medical emergencies, call 911 or your nearest urgent care'. Liability requires that disclaimer prominently.
