Telemedicine app cost calculator
A working telemedicine MVP with HIPAA-eligible video and scheduling typically lands between $60,000 and $110,000. Add e-prescribing, insurance eligibility and an EHR interface and most platforms finish in the $180,000–$450,000 range. Use the calculator below to price the exact scope you have in mind.

What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $60K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $120K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $250K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform, design and team-location multipliers. The headline range for this calculator is $60K–$300K. See how the numbers are built.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build a telemedicine app?
A single-specialty MVP with scheduling, HIPAA-eligible video and secure messaging runs $60,000–$110,000. A standard multi-provider platform with intake, payments and eligibility runs $120,000–$220,000, and an advanced build with e-Rx, EHR integration and multi-state provider licensing logic runs $250,000–$450,000.
Is video the most expensive part of a telemedicine build?
No. HIPAA-eligible video is roughly $12,000–$22,000 of engineering on top of a vendor SDK such as Twilio, Vonage or Zoom Healthcare, plus $0.004–$0.01 per participant-minute at runtime. Scheduling rules, eligibility checks (270/271) at $15,000 and EHR integration at $25,000 usually cost more than the video layer itself.
What does a telemedicine app cost to run each year?
Budget 18–22% of build cost annually. A $150,000 platform costs roughly $27,000–$33,000 per year in maintenance, plus infrastructure of $800–$3,000 per month and video minutes. Taction Care Packages cover this at $8,000, $20,000 or $50,000 per month depending on SLA and release cadence.
