Pricing
EnterpriseCurrent Health is an enterprise-only platform with no public pricing. All deployments are custom contracts negotiated directly with health systems, payers, and home health agencies. Pricing is based on patient volume, care program type (Hospital@Home, chronic care management, post-acute monitoring), integration requirements, and the level of Clinical Command Center support required. Contact Current Health through currenthealth.com to request a demo and enterprise pricing discussion.
FreemiumMicrosoft Azure Health Bot is priced on a consumption-based model through a standard Azure subscription — costs scale with the number of messages processed, API calls made, and Azure services integrated. A free development tier is available allowing organizations to build and test bots at no cost before moving to production. Production deployments are billed monthly based on usage volume. Organizations with existing Azure Enterprise Agreements or Azure committed use discounts can apply those to Health Bot consumption. For large healthcare enterprise deployments, Microsoft offers dedicated account management and custom Azure pricing through its enterprise sales team. Pricing details are available through the Azure portal or by contacting Microsoft Azure sales.
