How Much Does
Healthcare Software Cost?
It Depends on Scope

Healthcare software cost comes down to your features, your EHR integrations and how much protected health information the system handles. We don't sell hours, we sell outcomes. Managed development starts from $75 per hour. A free build plan gives you one fixed price, and we sign a BAA before any patient data is shared.

Blue Sky MD

A HIPAA-compliant ERP for a growing medical practice

Blue Sky MD's data lived in eClinicalWorks, ad accounts, website forms and inboxes that didn't talk to each other. Under a signed BAA, we're building one platform on HIPAA-eligible Google Cloud services that brings it all together: reporting, marketing attribution, billing analytics, patient communication and AI assistants for the whole team.

  • Marketing attribution from ad click and lead form to booked appointment and completed visit
  • Automated operational, financial and visit-volume reporting, with questions answered in plain English
  • Billing and collections analytics, patient communication workflows and AI assistants in one place

Machine Medicine

A clinical computer-vision app, built and taken to market

Machine Medicine's Kelvin platform turns short video clips into objective measurements of motor function, so early signs of loss are caught and treated sooner. They brought us in to build the Android app that puts that technology in clinicians' hands. We planned, built and delivered a highly performant app, ready to launch.

How We Work

Outcome-Based Pricing

We don't sell hours — we sell outcomes. Every engagement starts with a clear scope, defined deliverables, and upfront estimates so you know exactly what you're getting before work begins. You get full accountability, transparent progress, and a team that's committed to shipping results — not burning through a budget.

Scoped Upfront

Every project starts with clear deliverables, timeline estimates, and success criteria — before a single line of code is written.

Full Accountability

We own the outcome, not just the hours. Transparent progress updates, milestone reviews, and a commitment to shipping what we promised.

Flexible Engagement

Managed development with a dedicated team, or senior engineers embedded in yours. Scale up or down as your project evolves.

Healthcare Software Cost Questions

How much does custom healthcare software cost?

It depends on the features you need, your EHR integrations and how much protected health information the system handles. Slashdev's managed development starts from $75 per hour, and our free build plan gives you a fixed price before any code is written.

How much does it cost to build a HIPAA-compliant app?

HIPAA work adds to a normal app budget through hosting on eligible services, access controls, audit logging, BAAs with vendors and security testing. The exact amount depends on the data involved, so we scope it in your plan.

Which vendors should I shortlist for healthcare software?

Look for production healthcare work you can see, a signed BAA before any PHI, real EHR integration experience, and clear answers on who owns the code.

Will you sign a Business Associate Agreement?

Yes. We sign a BAA before any patient data is shared.

Can you integrate with our EHR?

Yes. We work with FHIR and HL7 interfaces, and confirm the right data path for your system during scoping.

Is any software HIPAA certified?

No. HHS does not certify software. Compliance comes from how a system is built, hosted and run.
