Why use CurioMD?

Increase your practice revenue by $100K+ per physician

With just 400 patient sign-ups, using our market-tested pricing model, you will earn $9K per month through this service. Also, success is our shared goal - we only earn when you do.

Free your practice from insurers

10 providers who offer this service spend, at a maximum, 15 minutes outside of clinic hours responding to messages. Then, the revenue of $100K+ per provider per year allows them to see 5 less patients a day, or hire a scribe and have funds left over.

Retain all existing patient relationships

As an optional add-on service for patients, your panel will not need to decrease in size, unlike more drastic payment model changes (ex. concierge medicine).

Why use CurioMD?

Today's primary care isn't sustainable, for physicians or patients.

PCPs are seeing 20-30 patients per day, for too little time per appointment. To provide completely preventative care in today's primary care environment, a physician would need 27 hours in the workday.
Underinvestment by insurers in primary care is resulting in burnout on an unprecedented scale; while corporate takeovers of private practice eliminate any control PCPs have on the quality of care they provide.
Patients have shown remarkable eagerness to improve the physician-patient relationship, evident in the 21% and 36% annual increase in concierge and direct primary care memberships, respectively.

How it works -

No-Commitment First Step

We send out an initial email survey to your patient population to gauge interest in after-hours text access to their physician. Combined with our prior practice integration experience, you'll know the exact time investment and resulting revenue increase, before moving forward.

Integrate in Minutes, Not Weeks

We provide an intuitive desktop + mobile app that allows you to easily communicate with your patients, and takes less than 15 minutes to set up. From your patient’s point-of-view, you’re texting them - but they don’t actually have your direct phone number.

Spend Minutes, Save Hours

Physicians offering this service typically handle just 3-4 texts per day after clinic hours. Delegating non-urgent messages to your staff lets you preserve your valuable time until regular business hours.

Stress-Free Implementation

Leave all the intricacies to us. We manage billing, provide patient education, ensure regulatory compliance, offer customer support, and handle maintenance throughout the process.

Work-Life Balance Wins

Use the resulting revenue to hire a scribe; spend more time on preventative care per patient; catch up on sleep; or watch your child’s soccer game. The rest is up to you!

“I was initially concerned I wouldn’t have any rest, but if anything, people don’t call when they should. They’re very respectful. If someone abused the service, I’d give them their money back - but I’ve never had to do that.”

- Dr Christopher Stringer, Primary Care Physician

How does this differ from regular EHR-portal messaging, or my answering service?
Studies show 86% of patients value the more direct and personal experience of texting their clinician, and they’re gladly willing to pay for it. EHR portal messaging takes extra steps & is not available after hours, while answering services have inherent delays and impersonal experiences.
How do you address any overuse of the service?
We've found patients have been very respectful of boundaries, as we provide proper education on when to reach out. For the rare occurrence when a patient may over-utilize, standard practice is to return their month's fee and remove their ability to text you, while ensuring they remain a valued patient in the practice.
What are specific patient use cases?

Here are a few actual examples of texts that clinicians providing this service have received:

  • "I'm experiencing symptoms that sound like a UTI. What should I do - can this wait for an in-office appointment?"
  • 'I just slipped and fell. Now my wrist is swollen from when I landed on it. Do I need to go to urgent care?"
  • "I seem to have lost my statin medication, is it alright if I miss a dose or do I need to head to the pharmacy right now?"
