What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $90K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $200K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $400K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform, design and team-location multipliers. The headline range for this calculator is $90K–$480K. See how the numbers are built.
Frequently asked questions
How much does medical billing software cost to build?
A charge-entry and claim-submission tool costs $90,000–$160,000. A full billing system with scrubbing, ERA posting, denials and reporting costs $200,000–$400,000. Enterprise RCM platforms serving multiple practices run $400,000–$710,000.
Do we need our own clearinghouse connection?
Rarely. Connecting to Availity, Change Healthcare, Waystar or Office Ally costs about $26,000 in engineering plus $0.10–$0.35 per claim, versus direct payer enrollment which costs $8,000–$20,000 per payer in setup and testing. Direct connections only pay off above roughly 40,000 claims per year with a single dominant payer.
What does denial management add and is it worth it?
Denial workflows cost about $22,000 to build. With industry initial denial rates around 10–12% and average claim values of $150–$400, recovering even 3% more of a 100,000-claim book returns far more than the build cost in the first year. It is normally the first module we recommend after basic submission.
