Pricing is set as per your requirements and budget.

A telemedicine platform lets patients book and attend video consultations, receive prescriptions and pay online. For Lucerne clients we usually begin with payments & insurance (card payments and claims data) and remote monitoring, then add booking and secure video. Typical first release: 10–16 weeks.
Custom CRM & HRMS Software for Lucerne
Custom CRM and HRMS software fits your sales process and people operations exactly instead of paying per seat for generic tools.
