The billing unit decides what growth costs you.
| Billing unit | What it means for your practice | Who uses it |
|---|---|---|
| Per provider | The bill grows with every doctor you add, whatever the call volume. | On Call Central and PerfectServe publish it; Assort Health and Prosper AI told us so |
| Per receptionist minute | You pay for each minute a person spends on your calls, and extra minutes cost more than the plan rate. | notifyMD |
| Per call, with or without a platform fee | The bill follows call volume, and a platform fee can sit on top. | Flexbone publishes it; Elion lists it for EliseAI |
| Monthly base with shared minutes | You pay one base that includes minutes for the whole practice. Adding a provider does not change your plan. | Medman |

Quick answers.
How much does an AI receptionist for a medical practice cost?
Most healthcare platforms here do not publish prices. OhMD lists $500 a month for its AI plan, with calling billed separately. Medman has a free plan and published paid plans.
Do AI receptionists charge per provider?
Many do. The sales teams at Assort Health and Prosper AI told us they bill per provider, and others here do not publish how they bill, so ask. Medman charges a monthly base with minutes shared across the practice, so adding a provider does not change your plan.
Do I need an EHR integration to start?
Not with Medman: it answers calls without one. With your EHR connected, patients can book, reschedule and cancel on the call.
Does Medman work for multi-location specialty practices?
Yes. Medman serves multi-location specialty practices as well as single practices. Minutes are shared across the practice, so adding a provider does not change your plan.
Should callers be told they are talking to AI?
We recommend it. Medman’s suggested greeting says so, and you can edit it.
What should I ask every vendor?
Ask for a signed BAA, what a call costs at your real volume, what happens to urgent calls, and how long until your first test call.
The quickest comparison is a test call.
