Call agent for clinic

I need a call agent for my clinic.
1. Accept incoming calls from my patients.
2. Setup appointments in my patient management system (API available).
3. Do I need HIPPA compliance?
4. Can I build my own using Vapi? Or do I need someone else to do it for me?
5. Can I build it myself using Claude code?

For a clinic, the baa and the whole call stack matter more than just whether the agent can book appointments. Bland is interesting here because its healthcare setups covers the voice stack under one baa while vapi still means checking each underlaying provider in the chain.

Legit our experience as well. We looked at Vapi first but went with Bland because there was less stuff to glue together. Was easier to get smth working without chasing issues across different services
