This past Saturday, a group of us at MediSked volunteered our time with one of our customers, The Epilepsy Foundation, and participated in their Salt City Walk. Over 300 people came out to show their support for Epilepsy Foundation and walked the 3 mile route along Onondaga Lake in Syracuse, NY. The weather was hot, but that didn’t stop all of the walkers and the great enthusiasm on display by all. For more information on the event and the Epilepsy Foundation of Rochester-Syracuse-Binghamton, please visit their site here.? If you are a MediSked customer and have an event coming up, please let us know – we’d love to attend and show our support!

Top Ten Questions we get asked - #8 How much does it cost?
Posted by Mike Holihan on Tue, Jul 10, 2012 @ 02:38 PM
This question is usually one of the first to come out of the mouths of an interested provider agency. If you’re like most agencies, you don’t have a clear idea of what to benchmark a solution like MediSked Connect against. There are a spectrum of products on the market that range from high end hospital systems to lower end software that only has one or two capabilities to it. So with that in mind, how much does it cost?
Our solution’s price is comprised of two parts:
1. A one- time upfront license activation expense to purchase and load a platform with all of your agency’s data (employees, clients, services, locations, payers, etc.)
2. A monthly subscription amount that you pay once you are up and running.
The amount you pay is based on your size and the desired server hosting package.
Size Class Level: For size of agency, we do not just look at the number of users. Your size is determined by a number of factors, such as revenue billed, # of services, # of clients and once those factors are known you are placed into a “Level”, with A being the smallest and D being the largest. The nice thing about our size level is that you can add more staff and still be at the same level – you are not penalized for bringing on more users. In fact, it’s encouraged. Your size level will typically remain the same over a long period of time unless you grow or shrink considerably.
Hosting License Level: Hosting license level is something that you decide. It’s basically the level of security and back up an agency feels comfortable with. At even our lowest option, it’s a very high level of hosting. See the chart below for details.
That essentially makes up our pricing. I know what you are saying- that’s interesting but seriously how much does it cost. Well based on our pricing, it varies on size and hosting level. Unless you are a large agency, your annual investment will run well under the cost of one office staff member and our customers usually see a full return on investment within the first year. MediSked Connect was created to help generate more revenue, faster while making you bullet proof in an audit. So, this blog post did not give you a concrete number – but that’s because we don’t know who you are. If you fill out our Request a Quote Page we will be able to give you real numbers and talk more about our value, in a low pressure environment. As we said earlier, we know that there are not a lot of other solutions specifically geared toward provider agencies to ballpark against and sometimes that’s all you’re looking for. Please get in touch with us and we would be happy to assist.

There are so many software products targeted to specific purposes in this industry, it’s hard to understand and keep track of what they all actually do. “If I go with one system, will I still need to use other systems in tandem?” “We bought this system to handle one function and we think it can do more, but we don’t know what it can and can’t do.” These are comments we hear from provider agencies that are wading through the massive amount of disconnected software products on the market. Our software is described as an Agency Management Platform. The services that you are providing now can be centralized and managed through it. By consolidating this information, you will be reducing duplicate keypunching, human errors and bad data. Connecting data and systems in a real-time platform will lead to reduced costs, easier maintenance and safeguards, as well as turn your agency into an industry leader integrating best practices and the latest technologies.
To make an informed decision about investing in technology that will be part of the fabric of your agency, you need to know what’s inside – what an agency management platform contains and doesn’t contain. We’ve made it as simple as reading the ingredients of a cereal box, because you shouldn’t have to have a degree in Computer Science to know what you’re buying! Below is how Connect is defined as an agency management platform:
