- The $125 a month Alpine start up rate applies to year one only and rises to $225 a month from year two
- The entry tier covers up to 3 providers and the established tier up to 5, so larger practices move up
- Claims and eligibility work are billed per transaction: $0.20 per claim, $0.50 per attachment and $1.25 per eligibility check
- Patient engagement features such as texting, reminders and online booking are paid add ons
- Summit, the tier for groups and DSOs, is custom priced with no published rate
Apteryx
- Apteryx is now sold as the cloud imaging product inside the Planet DDS portfolio rather than as a standalone vendor
- No price is published for Apteryx cloud imaging; Planet DDS routes all pricing enquiries to sales or a demo request
- Practice management is a separate purchase, Denticon or Cloud 9, so imaging alone does not cover charting and billing
