Add-on · $79 / prescriber / moCompared with the EMR you're probably leaving
No competitor named. This is the pattern most practices describe when they call us.
| Penna | A typical EMR | |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | None. Month to month, cancel any time. | One to three years, often with auto-renewal. |
| Setup or implementation fee | None. | Frequently charged, sometimes in the thousands. |
| Price | Published: $149 platform + $79 per provider. | Quoted after a sales call. |
| Patients | Unlimited. | Tiered or capped. |
| Front-desk and billing users | Unlimited, included. | Charged per login. |
| Insurance billing | In the chart. Tools, not a percentage of collections. | Separate module, or a cut of what you collect. |
| E-prescribing | EPCS certified, $79 per prescriber. Therapists never pay. | Bundled per practice whether or not you prescribe. |
| Telehealth and patient portal | Included. | Add-on. |
| Trial | Seven days free before the first charge. | Demo with a rep. |
Everything clinical is unlimited. Here's what isn't.
Insurance transactions, dictation, text reminders and fax cost real money at the other end, so instead of burying a markup in your subscription we set a monthly allowance and publish the rate past it.
| Every month | Monthly allowance | Past the allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Patients, appointments, notes, portal accountsCharting, scheduling, telehealth, forms, messaging, reporting | No limit | — |
| Front-desk, billing and management usersNon-clinician logins across the practice | No limit | — |
| Insurance eligibility checksReal-time benefits verification | 15 per provider | $0.40 each |
| Claim submissionsElectronic professional claims (837P) | 25 per provider | $0.40 each |
| Claim status inquiriesAutomatic follow-up on unpaid claims | 5 per provider | $0.40 each |
| DictationMedical dictation inside the chart | 300 minutes per provider | $0.15 per minute |
| Text message remindersAppointment reminders by SMS | 500 per provider | $0.02 each |
| Fax pagesSent and received on your dedicated number | 1,000 per practice | $0.06 per page |
| E-prescriptionsFor each seat with the e-prescribing add-on | No limit | — |
Allowances reset monthly and pool across the whole practice, including on annual plans: a light month for one provider covers a heavy month for another. Telehealth, charting, AI notes, email reminders and payment posting carry no per-use charges. A cash-pay practice pays the subscription and nothing else. Usage accrues visibly in the app, so you will never open an invoice you couldn't have predicted.
Full rate card, examples and pricing questions on the pricing page.
One platform. Tailored to how you practice.
The same core, charting, scheduling, telehealth, portal and billing, shaped around your specialty's templates, code sets and workflows.
Mental & behavioral health
Psychiatry, therapy and counseling. Penna's default care model, the one the product was built around first. SOAP, DAP and BIRP notes, PHQ-9 and GAD-7 in the chart, a preloaded psychiatric code set.
How Penna works for behavioral healthGeneral practice
A registered care model with its own templates, visit types and codes, not a behavioral-health chart with the labels changed. SOAP, H&P and preventive templates, E/M codes and common ICD-10 diagnoses seeded.
How Penna works for primary carePhysical therapy
Evaluations, plans of care, visit-by-visit progress notes and authorization tracking are being built. None of it ships yet, and the page says exactly where it stands.
In developmentWhere the PT model standsYou're the covered entity. We take that seriously.
Penna operates as your business associate and signs a BAA with every practice at signup. Here's what that means in the product, plainly.
Encrypted, in transit and at rest
PHI is encrypted end to end; the app front end serves no patient data at all.
Append-only audit log
Creates, changes, signatures and disclosures are recorded where no code path can modify or delete them.
Roles enforced server-side
Clinical, billing and admin roles see different surfaces, checked on the server rather than hidden in the UI.
Uploads malware-scanned
Documents and inbound faxes are scanned before anything can be opened from a chart.
Backed up daily, restorable
Managed daily backups to versioned offsite storage, with a documented restore procedure.
No AI training on your data
AI drafts run in our own HIPAA-covered environment. Prompts and completions are never stored or used to train models.
Before you start the trial
How does the free trial work?
Seven days, no setup fee. You build your plan, create your account, review and sign your agreements, including the BAA, then add a card. The trial sandbox lets you try billing, e-prescribing, fax and SMS with sample data; live transactions begin with paid activation. Cancel before the trial ends and you're never charged.
What exactly is included?
Everything clinical: charting with AI note assistance, measurement-based care, scheduling with email and text reminders, telehealth, patient portal, secure messaging, forms, dictation, fax and reporting, with unlimited patients and unlimited front-desk, billing and management users. E-prescribing is the one add-on, priced per prescriber.
I'm a solo cash-pay therapist. What do I pay?
$228 a month: the $149 platform plus one $79 provider seat. You never touch the insurance allowances and you don't need e-prescribing, so that's your whole invoice.
Can I add and remove seats whenever I want?
Yes, any month. Add a provider seat when you hire, add e-prescribing when a prescriber joins, drop either when circumstances change. There's no contract and no repricing conversation.
Can you prescribe controlled substances?
Yes. Penna's e-prescribing is EPCS certified. Each prescriber completes the DEA-required identity proofing once and signs controlled-substance prescriptions with two-factor authentication; after that, controlled and non-controlled scripts go out from the same chart.
Can you migrate us from our current EMR?
Yes. What comes across as structured data versus archived documents depends on what your current system exports. We scope it honestly, including what it costs, before you commit.
Seven days free. Then $228 a month.
No setup fee, no contract, and a BAA signed at signup. Cancel before the trial ends and you're never charged.
