Most clinic software quotes answer one question, what the plan costs, and leave three unanswered: what the plan actually contains, which capabilities need a higher plan or a per-clinic switch, and what gets billed by usage on top.

The three layers of a clinic software bill

A clinic that only compares licence fees can sign at the lowest headline number and still end up with the highest invoice.

  1. STEP 1
    The licence
    A recurring fee for the platform. CuraVerto charges a flat annual fee per clinic, not per doctor, and takes no commission on consultations.
  2. STEP 2
    Modules switched on, not bought
    Real products enabled for a clinic rather than on by default. Pharmacy, Lab and Diagnostics and Lead Generation are included on every plan and switched on per clinic.
  3. STEP 3
    Metered usage
    Costs that only exist when the clinic uses something, billed from a prepaid wallet: WhatsApp messaging, AI Scribe minutes and teleconsultation minutes.

Layer one: what each CuraVerto plan includes

Three plans, flat annual fees, and no per-doctor fee on any of them.

PlanAnnual fee, excl. GSTDoctors and branchesWhat the licence covers
CMS₹25,000 per yearUnlimited doctors, 1 branch includedFor clinics: core EMR, appointments and scheduling, digital prescriptions delivered over WhatsApp, the WhatsApp booking bot, GST billing, family profiles, broadcast campaigns, and specialty modules such as Dental, Pharmacy, Lab and Diagnostics
ART₹50,000 per yearUnlimited doctors, 1 branch includedFor fertility centres: everything in CMS, plus the IVF and Fertility module and audit logs
HMS₹10,000 per sanctioned bed per year (10 to 150 beds)Unlimited doctors, 1 branch includedFor hospitals: everything in CMS for the outpatient side, plus inpatient admission to discharge, beds and nursing, inpatient billing and audit logs, scoped with the hospital
Only branches scale the licence
A clinic on CMS pays ₹25,000 per year at one doctor and ₹25,000 per year at ten. Every plan includes one branch, and additional branches on CMS and ART are ₹10,000 per year each, the only part of the licence that scales with the size of the practice.

Layer two: modules that are switched on per clinic

Three modules are switched on per clinic with no module fee. IVF is the one that needs a specific plan.

Switched on per clinic, every plan
  • An in-house Pharmacy module.
  • A Lead Generation and Inbox module, which needs an AI key.
  • A Lab and Diagnostics module.
  • No separate module fee. A clinic without a pharmacy counter or in-house lab pays nothing extra.
Needs the ART plan
  • The IVF and Fertility module is not a bolt-on that can be added to any plan.
  • It requires ART at ₹50,000 per year (or HMS for a hospital). Read the ART figure as the starting point, not the CMS figure with a module added.

The one that surprises people: teleconsultation is not a plan gate

Teleconsultation is available on every plan and is metered by the minute.

  • ₹5
    per minute, video or audio consultation
  • ₹3
    per minute more when a consented recording is made
  • ₹3
    per minute for the optional AI transcript

Layer three: what metered usage actually costs

Billed from a prepaid wallet, and only when the clinic uses it.

Metered itemCuraVerto rateWhen it applies
WhatsApp utility templates₹0.15 per messageAppointment reminders, confirmations and digital prescription delivery
Patient chat inside the 24-hour service windowNot charged by CuraVertoChat with a patient inside the window that opens when they message the clinic
WhatsApp marketing broadcasts₹0.88 per messagePromotional broadcast campaigns only, a separate and higher rate from the utility rate
AI Scribe₹1 per minuteConsultation dictation transcribed into the note, on every plan
Teleconsultation₹5 per minuteVideo or audio consultation, on every plan; consented recording ₹3 per minute extra
Teleconsultation AI transcript₹3 per minuteOptional, added to a teleconsultation
Read the broadcast rate twice
CuraVerto bills utility templates at ₹0.15 per message and marketing broadcasts at ₹0.88 per message, and those two numbers describe different things. Reminders, confirmations and prescription delivery are the ₹0.15 category. The ₹0.88 rate is not CuraVerto's base per-message price and should not be used to estimate the cost of a clinic's routine patient messaging.

Four questions that separate a licence quote from a real budget

Ask every vendor these four, and compare like for like.

  1. STEP 1
    Does the fee move when we hire?
    Per-doctor models multiply with headcount. CuraVerto charges no per-doctor fee on any plan.
  2. STEP 2
    Does it move with patient volume?
    Commission and per-appointment models rise with volume. CuraVerto charges nothing per appointment, so a busier month changes the messaging wallet, not the licence.
  3. STEP 3
    What needs a higher plan or a switch?
    On CuraVerto, IVF and Fertility requires ART, and teleconsultation is metered on every plan.
  4. STEP 4
    Is the price inclusive of GST?
    A like-for-like comparison breaks if one figure includes tax. CuraVerto publishes ₹25,000 per year for CMS, ₹50,000 for ART and ₹10,000 per sanctioned bed for HMS, all exclusive of GST.
