Pricing Details
Major market shift: athenahealth includes ambient AI at no extra cost, vs. typical $200-600/provider/month third-party alternatives. Embedded in core athenaOne fee.
No free trial. Alma often negotiates $10-30 higher per-session reimbursement than solo credentialing. At 20 sessions/week, even a $10 rate improvement generates $800/month in additional revenue—more than covering membership. $500 referral bonus for each provider referred.
