The Core Problem

Most EMR Software Punishes Small Practices for Growing

Per-provider pricing sounds reasonable until the practice hires a second injector, a nurse, or a front desk coordinator. At that point the software bill goes up, not because the platform improved, but because the team did. For a small cash-pay clinic trying to grow, that model creates a tax on every hire.

Price never changes

Per-provider pricing from competing platforms illustrative. Brooke is $99 flat per location, always.

Flat pricing that does not scale with provider count.

If the software charges per provider, every new hire raises the bill. For a growing small practice, that is a financial penalty on growth. Brooke charges $99 per location regardless of team size.

No appointment caps at any price level.

Some platforms limit monthly appointments on their lower tiers. A small practice with consistent patient volume should not have to upgrade just to stop hitting a cap.

Same-day setup with no implementation fee.

A small practice cannot afford a three-week implementation project or a $500 onboarding fee. The software should be running the same day.

Free migration from the current system.

Switching platforms is expensive in time. Free migration of patient records, forms, and treatment history reduces that cost to near zero.

Checkout and payments built in.

A small cash-pay clinic should not be running a third-party payment terminal next to the chart. Checkout at the point of care means one screen, one workflow, no reconciliation at end of day.

No contract.

A small practice should be able to leave if the software stops working for them. Month-to-month pricing puts the pressure on the software to earn the renewal.

Platform vs Per-Provider

How Brooke Compares to Per-Provider EMR Pricing for Small Practices

The math is simple. As a small practice adds providers, per-provider platforms raise the bill automatically. Brooke does not.
Built Differently

What Brooke Includes for Small Cash-Pay Practices

General EMRs were built for insurance-based primary care, where a visit means a diagnosis code and a referral.

Paperless Intake

Patient Profiles and Intake

Digital intake forms, consent forms, and allergy history completed before the patient walks in. No paper, no clipboards, no front desk data entry. Every patient arrives with a complete record already in the system.
Compliance

GFE Documentation

Good faith exam templates, state-specific compliance workflows, and physician review tools built directly into the platform. Every exam creates a tamper-proof audit trail automatically. Compliance is not an add-on for a higher tier. It is included.

Scheduling

Scheduling and Online Booking

Provider-specific calendars, online booking available 24/7, automated appointment reminders, and waitlist management. A small practice with no front desk can run a full booking system without one.
Charting

Treatment Records

Injection mapping with anatomical diagrams, unit tracking per treatment area, lot number capture for liability protection, and before-and-after photo documentation. Every treatment is recorded completely, without a separate charting tool.
Inventory

Inventory Management

Product received, used, and wasted tracked automatically. Low-stock alerts before you run out. Usage analytics to identify waste. For a small practice watching every dollar of product cost, this pays for the software on its own.
Payments

Checkout and Payments

Collect payment at the point of care. Tap-to-pay, card on file, split payments, and same-day deposits. No Square terminal next to the chart. No reconciliation at the end of the week. The chart closes when the card runs.
The Simple Pitch

Why Small Cash-Pay Clinics Choose Brooke

The Price Is the Same on Day One and Year Three

Most small practices start with one or two providers and grow from there. Every time a per-provider platform adds a staff member to the bill, the practice is reminded that growth costs money. Brooke’s price is $99 per location on day one and the same $99 three years later when the team is twice the size.

Setup in One Afternoon, Not Three Weeks

A small practice cannot put three weeks of clinic time into an implementation project. Brooke is designed to be up and running the same day, with no training sessions required and live support available from onboarding through the first week of use.

Cash-Pay Built In, Not Bolted On

Most practice management software was built for insurance billing and added cash-pay as a secondary feature. Brooke was built for cash-pay from the start. There is no insurance billing module, no claims workflow, and no complexity that exists to serve a model the clinic does not use.

One Platform Replaces Three

The average small cash-pay clinic uses a scheduling tool, a separate payment terminal, and a separate inventory spreadsheet. Brooke replaces all three with one login. Scheduling, checkout, inventory, charting, and compliance live in the same place. There is nothing to reconcile between systems at the end of the day.

Reporting

The Numbers a Small Practice Owner Needs Every Day

A small practice owner does not need a 40-field analytics dashboard. They need four numbers, updated daily, that tell them how the business is performing.
Rebooking Rate
What percentage of patients schedule a follow-up appointment. For a small practice, patient retention is more valuable than patient acquisition. The rebooking rate tells you how well the clinic is retaining the patients it already has.
Revenue Per Provider
Which providers are generating the most revenue per shift. For a small practice deciding whether to add a second provider, this number answers the question.
Revenue Per Treatment Type
Which service lines are producing the most revenue. A small practice with limited capacity should double down on the services generating the most return. This report shows exactly where that is.
Average Spend Per Visit
How much the average patient spends per appointment. For a small practice looking to grow revenue without adding appointments, average spend per visit is the number to move. Brooke reports it automatically, updated live.

What Small Practices Say After Switching to Brooke

We switched from Aesthetic Record and never looked back. My injectors actually enjoy using it. Setup took one afternoon.

Dr. Amanda Chen
Medical Director
Lumière Aesthetics · Dallas, TX

The GFE documentation alone was worth switching. Everything is compliant, auditable, and takes half the time it used to.

Jessica Park, NP
Owner & Injector
Revive MedSpa · Austin, TX

$99 flat. Unlimited providers. Everything works. I don't know why anyone pays $400/month for the same features wrapped in a terrible UI.
