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 practice management software cost to build?
A front-office system with scheduling, registration and charge capture costs $90,000–$160,000. Adding claims, documents and reporting costs $200,000–$400,000. A multi-practice or MSO-scale platform runs $400,000–$710,000.
What is the difference between PM and EHR software?
PM handles the business side — scheduling, registration, charge capture, claims — while the EHR handles clinical documentation. A PM build starts at $90,000; an EHR build starts at $100,000 and rises faster. Many practices build PM and integrate a certified EHR for about $25,000 rather than building both.
How long does a practice management build take?
A front-office MVP takes 10–16 weeks. A full PM system with claims and reporting takes 24–38 weeks. Data migration from an incumbent system adds $20,000–$60,000 and 4–8 weeks, and is the single most common cause of go-live slippage.
