Physio, chiropractic, medspa and allied-health clinics need charting and privacy terms (such as a HIPAA agreement) as much as booking, and that decides the shortlist before price does.
The example
A 3-practitioner clinic
- 3staff
- 250bookings a month
- $110average price
- 30%paid online
60% pay by card at the appointment, the rest cash or other. 1 reminder text per booking, no booking-app clients. This is an illustration, not a statistic about the trade: put your own numbers in.
Spread at this volume: $700 to $1,094 a month, a difference of $4,735 a year.
