Additional Types of Costs

There are no additional types of costs or fees (fixed, recurring, transaction-based, or otherwise) imposed by Endo Mind, Inc., or by any third party from whom Endo Mind, Inc. obtains technology, products, or services in connection with Thyra EHR, to purchase, license, implement, maintain, upgrade, use, or otherwise enable and support the use of the capabilities to which Thyra EHR is certified, or in connection with any data generated in the course of using any certified capability.

Understanding ONC certification costs for your practice

ONC Health IT certification (now administered by ASTP/ONC) is a cost borne by the EHR developer, not a fee billed to practices by the government. Achieving and maintaining certification requires independent testing by an ONC-Authorized Certification Body (ONC-ACB), ongoing surveillance, and continued conformance to the criteria listed above. What varies between vendors is how much of that, and which add-on capabilities, they pass through to the practice.

As disclosed above, Endo Mind, Inc. imposes no additional certification-related costs for the capabilities to which Thyra EHR is certified. When comparing certified EHRs, ask each vendor for its ONC additional-costs disclosure and compare the total cost of ownership (interfaces, modules, e-prescribing, patient engagement, support, and per-transaction fees) not just the headline subscription price.

Thyra publishes its pricing openly: the overlay is $300 per provider per month and the full EHR is $600 per provider per month, with no setup fee and no variable per-item fees. See transparent pricing, or book 15 minutes with JJ.
