Configure your practice management software
Work through the steps below — scope, features, compliance and integrations — and you get an estimate with a range, a midpoint and a delivery window.
What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $26K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $57K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $114K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform and design multipliers. Every configuration this calculator can produce falls inside $22K–$403K — the floor is the cheapest tier at the cheapest multipliers with nothing added, the ceiling is the top tier with every option selected at the dearest ones. Both ends are computed from the price table above, not written by hand. A typical mid-market configuration lands near $130,000. 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.
