The pricing model is tied to a percentage of collections, aligning the vendor's success with the practice's financial performance.
  • Patient Engagement & Telehealth: Includes a fully integrated Patient Portal and the athenaPatient mobile app, enabling self-service for scheduling, bill pay, and secure communication. athenaTelehealth is a HIPAA-compliant solution for conducting secure remote therapy sessions.
