Questions orthopedic practice owners ask
Plain answers.
Pricing, who sees what, what is live, how switching works and where Porto MD stops. Anything else: ask on the demo, or ask the guide in the corner.
- Is Porto MD built for orthopedic practices?
- Yes. Orthopedic practices start with their own setup: consult & post-op visits, imaging & document uploads and intake forms. Consult-to-post-op pathways with imaging and documents on the chart. Every specialty shares the same chart, calendar, messaging and marketplace.
- What does Porto MD include for orthopedic practices?
- Live today: complete patient chart & timeline, SOAP notes, templates & quick text, online booking, intake forms, E-consent with signature evidence, telehealth check-in, consent & licensure checks, branded patient portal, secure messaging, care programs & follow-ups, invoices & pay links, card processing, HD video visits and AI Scribe (draft notes for provider review). Telehealth and care programs are included from the Practice plan.
- How much does Porto MD cost for orthopedic practices?
- Plans start at $149 a month (Starter). Solo is $299 a month, Practice is $599 a month, Pro is $999 a month and Enterprise is $2,500+ a month. Add a provider for $100 per month ($75 on Pro). Plan details are confirmed in your Porto MD agreement. New practices start with a 7-day free trial of the Starter plan.
- Does Porto MD include telehealth for orthopedic practices?
- Yes, from the Practice plan. Telehealth check-in, consent & licensure checks are live: consent, the patient's location and the provider's licensure are checked before every virtual visit. HD video visits are live.
- Does Porto MD bill insurance for orthopedic practices?
- No. Porto MD is cash-pay only. It does not accept, bill or process insurance, commercial or government, and it has no claims, coding or reimbursement features.
- How do orthopedic practices get started on Porto MD?
- Start an application at https://www.portomd.com/start?type=medical_practice. Every new practice is reviewed before activation, and the workspace opens with consult & post-op visits, imaging & document uploads and intake forms ready to use.
- Can we attach imaging and outside reports?
- Yes, as documents on the chart today. Lab ordering and results connectivity is in development and labeled that way across the site.
- Can our own website take bookings?
- Yes. Your site calls Porto MD's public booking endpoint and the appointment lands on your Porto MD calendar; our team can connect it for you.
- Can PAs and the front desk have different access?
- Providers get a schedule and a chart. Front-desk staff get scheduling, check-in and messaging, never charts. Roles and permissions decide who sees what, and an append-only audit trail records every access.
