Pricing architecture

Pricing for a multi-sided Contactless Medicine ecosystem.

Ambulant+ pricing is organised by workspace, care pathway and partner role. Patients, clinicians, medical aids, employers, laboratories, pharmacies, riders and phlebotomists do not use the platform in the same way, so pricing must reflect the workflow being activated.

This page explains the commercial model for patient subscriptions, clinician onboarding, medical-aid programmes, CarePort fulfilment, MedReach diagnostics, payouts, promotional services, enterprise deployments and future franchise or territory licensing.

Commercial principle

Paid access does not bypass governance.

Pricing activates commercial access. It does not override clinical governance, regulatory checks, credentialing, training completion, Smart ID status, dispatch readiness, payer eligibility or role-based permissions.

Patients may start free and upgrade for advanced care intelligence.

Clinicians must complete onboarding and readiness before listing.

Payers and employers are priced by programme scope and data layer.

CarePort and MedReach support transaction, storage and success-fee models.

Pricing principles

The commercial model follows the care model.

Ambulant+ is not a single app with one subscription. It is a governed ecosystem with patient, clinician, payer, diagnostic, pharmacy, logistics and enterprise operating layers.

Pricing is role-based because patients, clinicians, medical aids, labs, pharmacies, riders and enterprise partners use different parts of the ecosystem.

Patient access can begin on a free plan, while advanced analytics, premium care-centre features and family management sit in paid tiers.

Clinician subscription does not bypass onboarding, training, verification, compliance, Smart ID, starter-kit dispatch or activation readiness.

Medical aids, HMOs, employers and sponsors are priced by programme scope, member cohort, streaming, storage, InsightCore intelligence, rewards and integration requirements.

CarePort and MedReach can support free onboarding, success fees, operational script/test fees, catalogue storage tiers and promotional marketplace services.

Enterprise, franchise and territory models are handled by commercial agreement, performance obligations and governance requirements.

Patient plans

Patients can start with basic access and upgrade for deeper health management.

The patient pricing model should preserve access while allowing advanced analytics, premium care-centre functionality and family care coordination to sit in paid tiers.

Clinician plans

Clinician pricing combines subscription, onboarding, training and activation readiness.

Clinicians may subscribe by plan type, but visibility to patients depends on credentialing, compliance, training, Smart ID, starter-kit dispatch and activation state.

Going live is a readiness process, not just a payment event.

Clinician activation may include training payment, starter-kit preparation, dispatch, credentialing checks, compliance review, Smart ID issue and listing activation.

Once-off onboarding, training and starter-kit fee may apply.

Starter kit may include Health Monitor, NexRing, Digital Stethoscope, HD Otoscope, clinician handbook, consumables, branded items and Smart ID materials.

Partial payment, minimum initial payment and balance recovery may be configured by admin policy.

Payment may be processed through supported providers such as Paystack or PayFast where enabled.

Baseline consultation payout model is 70:30, paid monthly, unless plan, policy or agreement defines otherwise.

Paid subscription does not override credentialing, regulator checks, PI insurance, prescribing authority, training completion or activation readiness.

Medical aids, HMOs and employers

Enterprise pricing is built around active programmes, monitored members and intelligence layers.

Client-app pricing should reflect the real value delivered: member streaming, eligibility, authorisation, claims, storage, analytics, InsightCore intelligence and rewards infrastructure.

Streaming

Per active monitored member pricing for vitals streaming, remote monitoring, medication adherence reporting, booking preflights, authorisations, claims autofiling and care-continuity analytics.

Example anchor: R500 per active monitored member per month.

Storage

Historic data retention, reports, analytics records, evidence, programme history and longer-term health-intelligence storage.

Priced by programme size, retention duration and reporting depth.

InsightCore Intelligence

AI-assisted and governance-aware intelligence layers for predictive care signals, risk movement, cohort analytics, adherence trends and programme visibility.

Charged as a separate intelligence layer or enterprise tier.

Rewards Engine

Creation and management of member rewards, healthy-living incentives, adherence rewards, screening prompts and preventive-care engagement campaigns.

Rewards can be funded, sponsored or administered by programme terms.

Implementation

Programme design, configuration, training, eligibility setup, workflow mapping, role permissions, reporting structure and go-live support.

Once-off implementation fee usually applies.

Integrations

Claims, eligibility, real-time preflight, authorisation, SSO, EHR/HMS, finance, API access, export or third-party integration work.

Charged by complexity, scope and maintenance requirements.

Recommended enterprise register of charge categories.

Every enterprise client should have a commercial register covering active monitored members, streaming tier, storage tier, InsightCore tier, rewards engine, implementation fee, integration fee, support level, reporting/export access, device programme and minimum monthly platform fee.

Payout models

Service contributors need visible payout logic.

Clinicians, riders and phlebotomists should understand how service-share economics work while recognising that final payout terms can depend on role, territory, plan, partner agreement and admin configuration.

Clinicians

Baseline consultation payout is 70:30, paid monthly, with payslip generation from the clinician dashboard where configured.

Riders

CarePort rider payout can follow a 70:30 service-share model, subject to route, territory, partner and admin configuration.

Phlebotomists

MedReach phlebotomist payout can follow a 70:30 service-share model, subject to task type, territory, partner and admin configuration.

Franchise and territory licensing

Some operations may be licensed to competent master operators.

CarePort SA and MedReach SA can become powerful franchise, territory or master-operator opportunities, but only where the operator can meet operational, governance, compliance and performance standards.

CarePort SA master-operator or franchise rights may be licensed to a competent pharmacy, logistics or healthcare management company.

MedReach SA master-operator or franchise rights may be licensed to a competent laboratory, diagnostics or medical management company.

Territory agreements may include setup fees, minimum guarantees, revenue share, service-level obligations, governance obligations and performance reviews.

Franchise or master-operator rights should not weaken clinical governance, patient safety, pharmacy accountability, laboratory standards or data protection.

What affects final pricing

Final price depends on workflow depth, programme scope and implementation complexity.

This is why the public page should explain pricing architecture first. Exact amounts can be confirmed inside the relevant workspace, admin-configured plan, demo, partner agreement or country-specific commercial schedule.

Pricing governance

Commercial access must remain accountable.

Ambulant+ pricing should never create unsafe shortcuts. Patient safety, professional credentialing, payer eligibility, claims controls, data governance and operational accountability remain part of the commercial model.

Admin-configured pricing can support different plans, countries, partners and programme models.

Payouts, platform share and fees should remain auditable and visible to authorised users.

Promotional placement should not be presented as clinical recommendation.

Medical-aid and sponsor pricing must respect consent, eligibility and role-based access.

Device-supported care may attract different fees from ordinary video consultation.

Enterprise pricing should include minimum monthly platform commitments where appropriate.
