Dolphin Imaging & Management

  • Dolphin Imaging and Management publishes no online pricing for its orthodontic imaging and practice-management software; the vendor's own site (dolphinimaging.com) offers only a phone number and a Contact/Email form, with product pages rendered by client-side data bindings that never expose a price list.

Kareo

  • Kareo is now part of Tebra and sold under the Tebra brand rather than as a standalone product
  • Tebra publishes no rate: pricing varies with provider count, features and implementation requirements and is quoted during a demo
  • Billing counts clinical providers such as MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs, so adding a prescriber raises the bill even though non clinical staff are free
  • Electronic prescribing of controlled substances setup costs about $75 per provider as a one time fee
  • PDMP integration costs $500 one time per facility plus about $50 per user per year
