• Desktop software prices
• ASP solutions prices

We regularly survey BuyerZone users to ask how their purchases went. We've used their responses to provide a sampling of actual prices paid for medical practice management software.

Two types of systems are common in MPM software: desktop software, which runs on the practice's computers, and ASP solutions, which are run by the software provider and accessed through the Internet.

As you can see in the pricing examples below, ASP solutions usually carry a monthly fee and setup charge, while desktop systems have a one-time charge. Most vary their pricing based on the number of providers the software needs to support and the number of users who will be accessing it.

Another factor that has a huge impact on pricing is whether or not the MPM system includes medical records functionality. Software that focuses on billing, claims management, and appointment scheduling is less expensive than systems that also include full support for managing patient charts electronically.
