Does Cortico work with Oscar 19?

Yes. Oscar 19 is a COMPLETE integration as per the Cortico EMR compatibility guide. The connection uses the Oscar REST API to sync schedules, patient demographics, and appointments — the same underlying integration used across other Oscar-based EMRs.

How does Cortico integrate with Oscar 19?

Cortico connects to Oscar 19 through a real-time, two-way API. It pulls schedules, demographics, and live availability, then syncs bookings, intake, and messages back to the chart. Your front desk keeps the same Oscar Pro workflows they already have.

Will Cortico cause double-bookings or scheduling conflicts?

No. Cortico reads your Oscar 19 schedule to display accurate availability, and a Lock feature prevents double-bookings during high-demand windows.

Do our patients need to download an app?

No. Patients click a link from their email or your website to access Cortico; no app download and no login required. From there, they can book, confirm, cancel, complete intake forms, join video visits, and message your clinic, all from their phone or computer.

Is my patient data safe with Cortico?

Yes. Cortico is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified and PHIPA, PIPEDA, and HIPAA compliant. Patient data is hosted in Canadian data centres and never used for AI training; messages are never permanently stored, and files are end-to-end encrypted. Annual third-party penetration testing is conducted, with no unmitigated high-level risks identified.

How much does Cortico cost?

Essentials is $86, Premium $119, and Elite $199 per FTE provider per month, each with a 90-day money-back guarantee. Pricing is transparent and public at cortico.health/pricing, and existing customers are always grandfathered in.

How long does setup take?

Most Oscar Pro clinics are live within one to two weeks. Cortico's onboarding team handles the API connection, schedule mapping, and data sync, with staff training and unlimited support included.
