Go Answer Review 2026: Real Pricing, the Setup Fee Its Own Contract Admits, and the HIPAA Fine Print

Go Answer's per-minute rates undercut most of the live answering services it competes with. Its pricing page also says it charges no setup fee, while its terms of service charge one. Here is the whole picture, including what a medical practice has to ask before any patient information moves.

By Med Consumer Watch Team
Go Answer is a live answering service: trained human receptionists who pick up your business phone around the clock, take messages, book appointments, transfer live calls and run new-client intake. It also sells web chat, a legal intake product, and — despite what its affiliate marketing says — an AI receptionist line. It is built for small operations that lose money whenever the phone rings unanswered: medical and dental practices, law firms, home services, real estate, e-commerce. Live plans run $175 to $11,000 a month. Service is United States focused. We checked its pricing pages, FAQ and terms of service on August 7, 2026. Disclosure, before anything else: this page contains affiliate links, and we earn a commission if you start service through them. That is our only relationship with Go Answer. The company did not see this page before publication, did not review it, and supplied none of the findings below. We looked at this one closely for a specific reason. Go Answer sells hard into healthcare — it has a medical answering service, a physician answering service and a hospital call centre page, all promising HIPAA compliance. That means patient information. And when we compared what the marketing pages promise against what the binding contract says, the two documents do not agree about whether you will be charged a setup fee. That is not a reason to avoid the company. The underlying service looks genuinely competitive, and on price it beats most of the names it is compared against. It is a reason to read the terms before you sign, and to get three specific things in writing. We will tell you which three.

What Go Answer Is, and Who Actually Buys It

Go Answer is a contact centre business, not a software product. You are buying people who answer your phone using a script you write. The BBB profile for the Garden City, New York entity behind the brand — listed as 1-888-GO-ANSWER! — records the business as started September 12, 2012, with Mr. Adam Alovis as president, at 401 Franklin Ave, Suite 102, Garden City, NY. That matches the "since 2012" claim in the company's own materials. Where the agents actually sit is worth knowing, and the company does publish it. Its About page describes a New York headquarters plus contact centres in St. Lucia (500 seats) and Belize (750 seats). An earlier third-party profile also listed a Florida centre. Whatever the current mix, the clear majority of published seat capacity is offshore. That is not unusual in this industry and it is a large part of how the per-minute rate stays low. It is also directly relevant if you are a medical practice, for reasons we get to below.
  • Product | What it is | Who it is aimed at
  • Live virtual receptionist | Human agents answering your line 24/7, taking messages, transferring calls, booking appointments | Any small business with a phone
  • Live web chat | Human agents staffing the chat widget on your site to capture leads | E-commerce, service businesses
  • Legal intake | Longer, structured new-client intake interviews, sold as a per-minute add-on | Law firms
  • Medical answering | The same live service, scripted for practices, marketed as HIPAA compliant | Medical, dental, physician offices
  • AI receptionist | A separate automated tier with its own price list | Businesses trading nuance for cost

A useful distinction when you shop this category: some competitors bill per call, others per minute. Go Answer bills per minute, in one-second increments. Per-minute favours you if your calls are short and numerous; per-call favours you if your calls are long. Work out which shape your phone traffic actually has before you compare any two quotes, because the headline numbers are not directly comparable.

How It Works, From Sign-Up to First Answered Call

The onboarding sequence is conventional for the category, and Go Answer's own pages describe it in these steps:
  • You pick a plan by monthly minute volume, or start the free trial first.
  • You build a script with an account manager — how the phone is answered, what questions get asked, what qualifies as urgent, who gets reached and when.
  • You either forward your existing business number to Go Answer or use a number they provide. Additional inbound tracking numbers cost $10 per number per month.
  • Calls are answered live, 24/7. Messages arrive by email and text; the company also offers CRM and calendar integrations and a client portal for call records.
  • You monitor usage against your plan's included minutes through the dashboard, and overage bills at your plan's per-minute rate.

Set a calendar reminder for day 12 of the trial. The live trial runs "14 days or 200 minutes, whichever comes first" — which means a busy practice can burn the whole trial in under a week and never reach the 14-day mark. If you want the trial to actually test the service, route only part of your call volume into it at first.

Pricing: Every Live Receptionist Tier, as Published

These are the plans on Go Answer's live receptionist pricing page as we found them on August 7, 2026. The effective per-minute column is our arithmetic — monthly price divided by included minutes — not a figure the company publishes.
  • Plan | Monthly | Included minutes | Effective per minute | Overage
  • Virtual Receptionist 100 | $175 | 100 | $1.75 | $1.75/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 200 | $300 | 200 | $1.50 | $1.75/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 300 | $345 | 300 | $1.15 | $1.50/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 500 | $550 | 500 | $1.10 | $1.50/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 750 | $825 | 750 | $1.10 | $1.50/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 1000 | $1,100 | 1,000 | $1.10 | $1.50/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 1700 | $1,870 | 1,700 | $1.10 | $1.40/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 2500 | $2,750 | 2,500 | $1.10 | $1.25/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 5000 | $5,500 | 5,000 | $1.10 | $1.25/min
  • Virtual Receptionist 10000 | $11,000 | 10,000 | $1.10 | $1.25/min

Look at the 200-minute plan before you buy it. At $300 for 200 minutes you pay $1.50 a minute, but the 300-minute plan is $345 — only $45 more for 100 extra minutes, an effective $1.15 a minute. Anyone whose usage lands near 200 minutes is better off on the larger plan. Overage on the 200 tier also bills at $1.75, higher than the $1.50 charged on the 300 and 500 tiers, so exceeding the smaller plan is penalised twice.

Add-ons are billed on top of your plan, per minute, and they stack: AI call summarisation and transcription at $0.05/min, a dedicated bilingual (English and Spanish) receptionist at $0.30/min, and a dedicated legal receptionist with extended intakes at $0.50/min. Note what that second one means — bilingual service is marketed as a headline feature of the brand, but a dedicated bilingual receptionist is a paid upgrade, not an included one.

The Realistic All-In Monthly Cost

Published rates are not what you pay. Here is a worked example for a small practice, using Go Answer's own published numbers and clearly labelled assumptions. Assume 40 calls a month at roughly 3 billable minutes each = 120 billable minutes. The 3-minute figure is our assumption, not a Go Answer statistic — and read the next section, because billable minutes are not the same as talk time. - Virtual Receptionist 100: $175 - 20 overage minutes at $1.75: $35 - One-time setup fee, first month only: $75 (see below) - Optional dedicated bilingual receptionist, 120 min at $0.30: $36 First month: roughly $321. Steady state: roughly $210, or $246 with the bilingual add-on. Move to the 300-minute plan at $345 and the same practice pays more in month one but stops paying overage, with headroom to grow. The break-even against VR100 sits around 197 billable minutes.

The single biggest driver of your real bill is not the plan you pick — it is how many minutes your callers consume, and you cannot know that until you are live. Anyone quoting you a confident monthly figure before your first invoice, including us, is estimating. Watch the dashboard weekly for the first two months and move tiers when the arithmetic says to.

The Setup Fee: The Pricing Page and the Contract Do Not Agree

This is the finding that shaped our rating. Go Answer's live receptionist pricing page answers the question directly. Asked whether there is a setup fee, it states: "No, we don't charge any setup fees." Go Answer's terms and conditions say the opposite. They state: "Go Answer charges a $50 or a $75 set-up fee depending on the plan chosen by You for each Account." Go Answer's own FAQ page agrees with the contract, not the pricing page, describing a one-time $75 setup fee charged after a trial converts to paid service. An independent 2026 review profile of the company also lists a $75 setup fee. So three of the four sources say there is a setup fee. The one that says there isn't is the page you land on when you click "pricing." We are not calling this a scam, and the amount is small relative to the annual spend. But the marketing page and the binding agreement contradict each other on a direct question of money, and it is the binding agreement that governs your invoice. A company whose brand promise is transparent pricing should not require a customer to read its terms of service to discover a fee its pricing page denies.

Before you give a card, ask in writing: "Will my account be charged a setup fee, and if so how much?" Keep the answer in email. If a fee appears on your first invoice after a written assurance that none applies, that email is what gets it removed.

What Actually Counts as a Billable Minute

Go Answer bills in one-second increments, which is genuinely customer-friendly — rounding every call up to the next full minute is common in this industry and costs you real money. But the meter measures more than your caller talking. Per the company's FAQ, billable time comprises three components:
  • Live receptionist minutes — the actual conversation with your caller.
  • Summary minutes — post-call work by the agent: emailing you, setting an appointment, completing a form field.
  • Disconnection minutes — the interval between the caller hanging up and the agent's line clearing.

The terms of service put it more broadly than the FAQ does: "Billable time generally will also include time needed for operators or other staff to provide services required by any particular call." That is an open-ended definition. It means a 100-minute plan does not buy 100 minutes of conversation with your customers — it buys 100 minutes of agent time attributable to your calls, and the difference is not something you can audit from the outside. Budget for it.

The good news, and it is real: hold time and ring time are not charged. Go Answer's FAQ states that "charging commences when the receptionist answers the call." Some competitors start the clock earlier. That is a meaningful point in Go Answer's favour and we want it stated as plainly as the criticism.

The AI Question, and a Claim That Does Not Survive Contact With the Price List

Go Answer's affiliate marketing leads with this: "Live Human Agents—No AI: Every contact is handled by real, trained professionals—never bots." Go Answer sells an AI receptionist. It has its own pricing page and its own tiers:
  • Plan | Monthly | Included minutes | Overage
  • AI Receptionist 100 | $95 | 100 | $0.95/min
  • AI Receptionist 300 | $270 | 300 | $0.90/min
  • AI Receptionist 500 | $425 | 500 | $0.85/min
  • AI Receptionist 1000 | $800 | 1,000 | $0.80/min

The live receptionist plans also carry an "AI Call Summarization & Transcription" add-on at $0.05 a minute. So "never bots" describes one product line, not the company. If having only humans touch your calls matters to you — and for a medical or legal intake line it reasonably might — do not rely on the marketing claim. Confirm in writing which product your account is provisioned on, and whether any AI transcription or summarisation is applied to your call recordings.

For what it is worth, the AI tier is roughly half the price of the live tier at every volume — $95 against $175 at 100 minutes. If your calls are genuinely routine (hours, directions, simple triage to voicemail), that gap is worth a look. If your calls involve distressed patients or prospective clients describing a legal problem, it is not the product you want, and Go Answer's own positioning agrees.

HIPAA, Patient Data, and What That Seal Does Not Mean

This is the section that matters most to this site's readers, and it is where a generic answering-service listicle will not help you. Go Answer markets to medical practices and states on its healthcare page: "That's why Go Answer has been given the HIPAA Seal of Compliance," alongside "Our answering and live chat service are knowledgeable about HIPAA laws and ensure that all patient data remains secure." Its homepage describes the team as "HIPAA Trained." Three things a practice owner needs to understand about that. First, no government body certifies HIPAA compliance. The Department of Health and Human Services does not offer, endorse or recognise any HIPAA certification. There is no federal HIPAA licence to hold. Any seal, badge or certificate in this space is a private product. Second, the "HIPAA Seal of Compliance" is a Compliancy Group product — a private compliance vendor — awarded on completion of that vendor's own programme. Compliancy Group has since moved to a "Trust Badge" across its HIPAA, OSHA and SOC 2 programmes. Whatever the seal's current status, it is a vendor attestation, not a regulatory finding, and it does not transfer any legal protection to you. Third, and this is the operative one: we found no business associate agreement language anywhere in Go Answer's terms and conditions. The terms do not address HIPAA at all. Under HIPAA, an answering service that handles protected health information is your business associate, and you are required to have a signed BAA in place before any PHI reaches them. Without one, every appointment time, phone number and symptom your service relays is an improper disclosure — and the exposure is yours, not only theirs. "HIPAA trained" agents and a vendor seal do not substitute for that signature.

If you run a practice, do not start a trial until you have a countersigned BAA in hand. Ask specifically whether the BAA extends to the offshore contact centres in St. Lucia and Belize and to any subcontractors, because HIPAA obligations must flow down to them too. None of this means Go Answer will refuse — established players in this category sign BAAs routinely, and the absence of the language from the public terms may simply mean it is a separate document. It means you must ask, get it in writing, and file it.

The offshore question deserves a plain answer rather than an insinuation. HIPAA does not prohibit offshore processing of PHI, and plenty of compliant vendors do it. But it does raise practical enforcement questions — breach notification, audit rights, and what recourse you actually have across jurisdictions. Ask where your calls will be answered, get it in the BAA, and decide with your own compliance counsel. If your practice's policy is domestic-only PHI handling, this is the question that decides whether Go Answer is eligible at all.

Checking the Credentials: BBB, Forbes, Trustpilot and Clutch

Go Answer displays a row of trust badges. We checked each one we could reach. BBB. The Better Business Bureau profile for 1-888-GO-ANSWER! carries an A+ rating — the top grade — and records the business as operating since 2012. It also states plainly: "This business is NOT a BBB Accredited Business." Those two facts sit together comfortably; a strong rating without paid accreditation is common and is arguably the cleaner combination. But an A+ rating and BBB accreditation are different things, and if you see a BBB badge on a vendor site, it is worth knowing which one it represents. Forbes. Go Answer's About page states: "Voted Top Call Center for 2024 by Forbes." What we could verify is that Forbes Advisor includes Go Answer in its "10 Best Answering Services" roundup, with a rating reported at 4.7 and a category recommendation for businesses that want a dedicated account contact overseeing their answering strategy. That is an editorial listicle on a commercially monetised comparison vertical — the same kind of page you are reading now. No vote took place. "Voted Top Call Center by Forbes" overstates a placement in a buyer's guide, and it is a formulation several companies in this category use. Forbes Advisor's own listed drawbacks for Go Answer, per the coverage we could retrieve, were that service personalisation could be better and that language issues occur occasionally. Trustpilot. Go Answer's affiliate materials claim roughly 4.8 on Trustpilot. We could not verify this. Trustpilot returned 403 to every retrieval attempt we made, across its US, UK, Canadian and Japanese domains, so we are not going to publish a score we could not read on the page itself. What is visible from search listings is that the profile runs to six pages of reviews — on the order of a hundred-plus, not thousands — and that the sentiment is predominantly positive, with at least one review raising double-billing. Treat a triple-digit review base as thin for a company serving thousands of accounts since 2012. G2 and Clutch. G2 shows an average around 4.5 from about a dozen reviews — again, a small sample. Clutch lists a verified-review profile in the mid-teens by review count. Both are directionally positive and neither is statistically weighty.

The pattern across all four is consistent and worth stating fairly: the independent signal on Go Answer is positive, and the recurring praise — responsive account management, easy onboarding, real cost savings against previous vendors — is specific rather than generic. That is a better sign than a huge pile of five-star reviews with no detail. The caveat is volume, not sentiment.

How Go Answer Compares

Here is the comparison that actually matters, normalised to cost per minute. Competitor figures are from each company's own published pricing pages, checked August 7, 2026.
  • Service | Comparable plan | Included | Effective per minute | Overage
  • Go Answer | Virtual Receptionist 100 — $175 | 100 minutes | $1.75 | $1.75/min
  • Go Answer | Virtual Receptionist 300 — $345 | 300 minutes | $1.15 | $1.50/min
  • Ruby | Professional — $395 | 100 minutes | $3.95 | not published
  • Ruby | Business — $720 | 200 minutes | $3.60 | not published
  • PATLive | Standard — $460 | 200 minutes | $2.30 | $2.20/min
  • PATLive | Pro — $1,170 | 600 minutes | $1.95 | $2.00/min
  • Smith.ai | Starter — $300 | 30 calls | billed per call | $11.50/call
  • Go Answer AI | AI Receptionist 100 — $95 | 100 minutes | $0.95 | $0.95/min

Two caveats on that comparison. Ruby does not publish overage rates and PATLive notes that prices exclude taxes and fees, so the real gap at the margin may differ from the table. And Smith.ai's per-call model cannot be normalised to a per-minute figure honestly — at 30 calls for $300 it is $10 a call, which beats Go Answer if your calls routinely run past six or seven billable minutes and loses badly if they run two.

On price, Go Answer wins this comparison clearly and it is not close. At 100 included minutes it is roughly 55% cheaper per minute than Ruby. At 300 minutes it is cheaper per minute than PATLive's largest published tier. If cost per minute is your deciding variable, Go Answer is the strongest mainstream option in this table — which is exactly why the fee and contract questions above are worth resolving rather than treating as reasons to walk away.

Terms Worth Reading Before You Sign

We read the terms and conditions. Four provisions deserve your attention, and one of them is genuinely in your favour. Cancellation is described two different ways. The terms state: "You may terminate this Agreement at any time and cancel Your then existing Subscription. There is no cancellation fee." The FAQ, however, describes a requirement of 30 days' written notice by email or fax, including account number and reason, with billing continuing to the end of the cycle. The FAQ additionally describes minimum terms for dedicated-agent accounts — 90 days for new members, 30 days for existing members. Shared-agent accounts are month-to-month with a one-month minimum. If you are on a shared plan the practical difference is small; if you are considering dedicated agents, the "no commitment" marketing does not describe what you are signing. There is no proration and no refund for unused service. The terms: "If the Services provided to You are terminated before the end of your invoicing cycle, we won't prorate charges to the date of termination and you won't receive a credit or refund for any unused Services." Cancel on the 2nd and you have paid for the month. Cancel just after a renewal and the 30-day money-back guarantee advertised on the pricing page is the only thing standing between you and a full month's charge — so understand its scope before you rely on it. Rates can change without notice. The terms reserve the right to "update the Rate Schedule including change Go Answer's pricing and/or billing practices in its sole discretion, without additional notice to You." For a brand selling transparent pricing, unilateral repricing with no notice obligation is the term we would most want renegotiated on any meaningful contract. And the one in your favour: there is no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver. Venue is Nassau County, New York. In a category where forced arbitration is close to standard, its absence is a real and unusual point in Go Answer's favour, and it is worth more to a customer than most of the badges on the About page.

Diarise your renewal date. With no proration, no refund for unused service, and a cancellation process the company's own pages describe inconsistently, the difference between cancelling on the right day and the wrong day is a full month's fee. Send cancellation in writing, ask for written acknowledgement, and keep both.

Pros and Cons

A balanced read after checking the pricing pages, FAQ, terms and third-party profiles. What's good:
  • Genuinely competitive pricing. At $1.15–$1.75 a minute it undercuts Ruby by a wide margin and beats PATLive at comparable volumes.
  • Per-second billing, with hold and ring time excluded. Charging starts when the receptionist answers. That is better than the category norm.
  • Real humans, 24/7, with Spanish available. The live tier is staffed by trained agents, not a phone tree — though bilingual is a paid add-on, not included.
  • Fourteen years of continuous operation and an A+ BBB rating. This is not a thin shell company; it has a traceable corporate history and a named principal.
  • No arbitration clause or class-action waiver. Unusual, and meaningfully pro-customer.
  • Consistent, specific third-party praise for onboarding, account management and cost savings against previous vendors — across Forbes Advisor, G2 and Clutch.
  • A free trial that requires no contract, and month-to-month service on shared-agent plans.

What to watch out for: (1) The pricing page says "we don't charge any setup fees" while the terms of service charge $50 or $75 — get the answer in writing. (2) "Never bots" is contradicted by the company's own AI receptionist price list. (3) No BAA or HIPAA language appears in the public terms, despite heavy marketing to medical practices. (4) Rates can change at Go Answer's sole discretion without notice. (5) No proration or refund for unused service after cancellation. (6) Cancellation terms differ between the FAQ and the contract. (7) Billable minutes include post-call summary and disconnection time under an open-ended definition. (8) "Voted Top Call Center by Forbes" overstates a placement in a Forbes Advisor buyer's guide. (9) The independent review base is in the low hundreds at best, and we could not load Trustpilot to verify the score at all.

Who Should Pick Go Answer, and Who Should Look Elsewhere

Go Answer is a strong fit if: You are a small business or practice with steady, relatively short inbound calls, you are price-sensitive, and you are comfortable reading a contract and asking for written confirmation on fees. The per-minute economics are the best in this comparison, the humans are real, and the corporate history is solid. Home services, real estate, e-commerce support and general small-business reception are natural fits. Firms wanting structured legal intake get a purpose-built add-on at $0.50 a minute. Consider it with conditions if: You are a medical or dental practice. The service is marketed squarely at you and the price is right — but do not route a single patient call until you hold a countersigned BAA that names the offshore facilities and any subcontractors. That is not a Go Answer-specific warning; it is the law for any answering service. It is simply more pressing here because the public terms are silent on it. Look elsewhere if: Your practice policy requires PHI to stay onshore, and Go Answer cannot commit to domestic-only handling in writing — the majority of its published seat capacity is offshore. Or your calls are long and infrequent, in which case Smith.ai's per-call pricing likely costs you less. Or you want a vendor whose contract cannot reprice you without notice, which rules Go Answer out until that term changes. Or you are outside the United States: this program is US-only, and we make no claim about availability anywhere else.

Whichever way you lean, use the trial properly. Route a fraction of your calls first, listen to how your script actually sounds in an agent's mouth, and watch the minute counter to see how much of your billable time is conversation versus summary. Fourteen days or 200 minutes is enough to learn both things — but only if you start measuring on day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Go Answer cost? Live receptionist plans ran from $175 a month for 100 minutes to $11,000 for 10,000 minutes when we checked on August 7, 2026. Effective rates fall from $1.75 to about $1.10 a minute as volume rises. The separate AI receptionist line starts at $95 for 100 minutes. Does Go Answer charge a setup fee? Its pricing page says no. Its terms and conditions say it charges $50 or $75 depending on the plan, and its FAQ describes a $75 fee after the trial converts. Get a written answer before you provide payment details. Is there really no contract? Shared-agent accounts are month-to-month with a one-month minimum, so broadly yes. Dedicated-agent accounts carry a 90-day minimum for new members, per the company's FAQ. Cancellation is described as requiring 30 days' written notice in the FAQ, while the terms say you may terminate at any time with no fee. Will I get a refund if I cancel mid-month? No. The terms state charges are not prorated and no credit or refund is given for unused services. A 30-day money-back guarantee is advertised separately on the pricing page. Is Go Answer HIPAA compliant? It markets itself that way and cites a "HIPAA Seal of Compliance." Understand what that is: no government body certifies HIPAA compliance, and that seal is a private vendor's attestation. We found no BAA or HIPAA language in the public terms of service. If you handle PHI, obtain a signed business associate agreement before starting service. Where are Go Answer's agents located? Its About page lists New York plus contact centres in St. Lucia (500 seats) and Belize (750 seats). Most published capacity is offshore. If that matters for your compliance posture, ask for it in writing. Are the agents human, or AI? On the live receptionist plans, human. But the "never bots" marketing describes one product line — Go Answer also sells an AI receptionist tier and an AI transcription add-on. Confirm which product your account uses. What is the free trial? Fourteen days or 200 minutes, whichever comes first, on the live service. The AI tier advertises 14 days including up to 500 minutes. No contract is required for the trial. Was Go Answer really voted top call center by Forbes? No vote took place. Forbes Advisor lists it among "10 Best Answering Services" — an editorial buyer's guide on a monetised comparison site. That is a creditable placement, but it is not an award and not a vote. Is Go Answer BBB accredited? No. Its BBB profile carries an A+ rating but states the business is not BBB accredited. Those are separate things, and an A+ without paid accreditation is a perfectly reasonable combination. Is Go Answer legitimate? Yes. It is a real company operating since 2012 from Garden City, New York, with a named president, an A+ BBB rating, multiple staffed contact centres and consistent positive third-party reviews. Our reservations are about disclosure and contract terms, not about whether the service exists or works. Is it available outside the United States? This offer is United States only. We make no claim about availability in any other country.

The Bottom Line

Our rating: 7.5 / 10 — Under Watch. Go Answer is a real answering service with fourteen years of history, an A+ BBB rating, live human agents around the clock, and the best per-minute pricing in this comparison by a clear margin — roughly 55% below Ruby at 100 minutes. Its billing is per-second, it does not charge for hold or ring time, and its contract contains no forced-arbitration clause. Those are genuine strengths, and the independent reviews, though few, praise specific things rather than gushing. The rating is held down by disclosure, not by service quality. The pricing page says "we don't charge any setup fees." The terms of service charge $50 or $75. Both documents are published by the same company. A customer reading the page designed to answer pricing questions gets the wrong answer, and only the contract governs the invoice. Around that sits a pattern of marketing that runs ahead of the documents. "Never bots" is contradicted by Go Answer's own AI receptionist price list. "Voted Top Call Center by Forbes" describes a placement in a Forbes Advisor buyer's guide, where no vote occurred. "Cancel anytime" sits alongside a 90-day minimum for dedicated agents and an FAQ demanding 30 days' written notice. And the terms let Go Answer reprice you "in its sole discretion, without additional notice." For a medical practice there is one more step, and it is not optional. Go Answer markets hard to healthcare and cites a HIPAA seal — but no government body certifies HIPAA compliance, that seal is a private vendor's product, and we found no business associate agreement language anywhere in the public terms. Most of the company's published seat capacity sits in St. Lucia and Belize. None of that disqualifies the service. All of it means you obtain a countersigned BAA covering the offshore facilities and subcontractors before the first patient call is routed, and file it. Our recommendation: worth trialling, on price, if you get three things in writing first — whether a setup fee applies to your account, exactly what notice cancellation requires, and a signed BAA if any patient information will touch the line. Ask those three questions by email and keep the replies. If the answers come back clean, this is a well-priced service. If they don't, you learned it for free during a 14-day trial instead of on an invoice. We are not healthcare professionals and this is not legal or compliance advice. Verify current pricing and terms directly with the provider before purchasing — we checked on August 7, 2026 and terms change.
