A clinic switching software is not setting up an empty account. It is moving years of patient records, prescriptions, lab results, and billing history out of one system and into another, while continuing to see patients every day in between.

Why switching clinic software feels riskier than it should

The data already exists, and the current vendor decides how hard it is to get out.

CuraVerto's own comparison page for Practo Ray states the position plainly: on Practo, patient records, contact details, and consultation history live on Practo's platform, and if a clinic stops subscribing, accessing or exporting that data is restricted. CuraVerto's comparison page for MocDoc lists "data export on cancellation" as a feature row and marks MocDoc's answer not specified, because MocDoc's own public pricing and feature pages do not address it. CuraVerto, on both of those same comparison pages, publishes the opposite answer: a full export of clinic data (structured tables, original files and rendered PDFs), available any time, at no fee.

What to ask any vendor before you sign

Three questions, answered in writing before you sign.

  1. STEP 1
    What format does the data leave in?
    CSV, PDF, a raw database export, or nothing at all, and whether that export carries a fee.
  2. STEP 2
    What happens to historical records?
    Do prescriptions, lab results, and billing history export in full with original dates intact, or only a summary?
  3. STEP 3
    Is there downtime at cutover?
    Can both systems run in parallel, or is there a hard cutover date that switches off the old system?

What CuraVerto promises in writing

Migration is included
"Full setup and data migration from your existing system are included at no extra cost, and your clinic is live within 5 working days." This is on CuraVerto's pricing page, in the subscription price itself, not a separate line item.

How long the whole process takes

New bookings the same day; the complete historical migration within 5 working days, whichever system you leave.

Source systemDeployment typeFull migration timeWhat moves
Practo RayCloud / SaaS5 working daysPatient list, appointment history, basic clinical records
CliniceaCloud / SaaS5 working daysPatient master, appointment history, prescription records, billing history
Sparta HMSCloud-based, per its site5 working daysPatients, appointment history, prescriptions, billing records, lab results

Moving off Sparta HMS starts with an export from Sparta, which the clinic should request in writing, and CuraVerto's onboarding team maps and imports it as part of the same 5-working-day commitment.

What actually gets migrated

The same broad categories across every source system CuraVerto documents.

What moves
  • Patient list and contact details
  • Appointment history
  • Clinical and prescription records
  • Billing history
  • Lab results, where the source exports them

CuraVerto preserves a clinic's existing WhatsApp booking number wherever the source vendor's number can be ported, so patients do not have to learn a new number.

The honest bottom line

Get the number in writing
Ask any vendor how long a complete historical migration actually takes, not just how fast the account is created. CuraVerto answers directly: a full migration, including historical records, within 5 working days regardless of the source system, with no separate migration fee.

Frequently asked questions

What should I ask a clinic software vendor about data export before switching?
Ask three things in writing before signing: what format the data leaves in if the clinic cancels (CSV, PDF, a raw database dump, or nothing at all), whether historical clinical records, prescriptions, lab results, billing history, export in full with original dates intact, and whether that export carries a fee. A vendor that will not answer this before a contract is signed is unlikely to answer faster after years of patient data are already inside its system.
What happens to patient data if a clinic cancels its clinic software subscription?
It depends entirely on the vendor. CuraVerto's own published comparison of Practo Ray states that on Practo, if a clinic stops subscribing, accessing or exporting that data is restricted. CuraVerto's comparison of MocDoc marks MocDoc's data-export-on-cancellation policy as not specified. CuraVerto, by contrast, provides a full export of clinic data (structured tables, original files and rendered PDFs), available any time, at no fee.
Does CuraVerto include data migration in its subscription price?
Yes. CuraVerto states this directly on its pricing page: "Full setup and data migration from your existing system are included at no extra cost, and your clinic is live within 5 working days." CuraVerto does not charge a separate migration fee on top of the subscription.
How long does switching clinic software actually take?
The same for every source system: CuraVerto's onboarding team completes the full migration, including historical records, within 5 working days, whether the clinic is moving from a cloud system like Practo Ray or Clinicea, or taking an export out of a system like Sparta HMS.
Is there downtime when switching clinic software?
There does not have to be. CuraVerto lets the old and new systems run in parallel during a migration, so reception keeps booking and doctors keep seeing patients on the existing system while records are imported, with no forced cutover date. The clinic moves over fully only once it is ready.
