Patient Scheduling Software

Medical patient scheduling software replaces phone-based booking with an online system that patients can access 24/7. With Cortico, patients view real-time availability, choose their provider and appointment type, and confirm — and the appointment writes directly into your EMR with no duplicate entry.

By combining automated SMS and email reminders, easy rescheduling, and pre-payment deposits at the time of booking, Cortico’s patient appointment scheduling software goes beyond basic reminder-only tools. Practices using this combined approach have reduced no-shows to near zero.

Yes. Cortico supports the complex booking rules specialists need, including provider-specific time ranges, required intake steps, and personalized booking links. It’s used successfully across dermatology, ophthalmology, rheumatology, neurology, and other specialties where standard online medical appointment scheduling software typically can’t handle the complexity.

As a leading healthcare patient scheduling software, Cortico integrates with Epic, Oracle Health, Oscar, Accuro, Profile, MedAccess, AdvancedMD, Practice Fusion, and more (full list on our integrations page). The integration is real-time and bidirectional. If you use a different EMR, please contact us — we add new integrations regularly.

Cortico is used by solo clinicians, multi-provider group practices, and multi-site organizations alike. The platform’s customizable settings support shared calendars, provider-specific rules, and location-based availability, making it highly adaptable patient scheduling software for healthcare environments of any size.

Cortico meets the privacy and security standards required for healthcare patient scheduling software operating in both US and Canadian clinical environments. The platform is HIPAA compliant for US practices and PIPEDA compliant for Canadian practices, and is independently certified to SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. All patient data is encrypted, and staff access is fully auditable. See our Security Brief for more information.

Cortico software for patient scheduling starts at $86/FTE per month for the Essentials package, which includes core scheduling, online booking, and reminders. Premium ($119/FTE) adds custom intake forms, and Elite ($199/FTE) adds AI automations and a check-in kiosk. See full details on our Pricing page.

Most practices implementing our clinic patient scheduling software are fully operational within one to two weeks. Onboarding includes EMR integration, appointment type configuration, booking rule setup, digitizing frequently used forms, and staff training. Ongoing support from our customer success team is included at no extra cost.

The best scheduling software for medical office environments is the one your patients actually use, and that integrates natively with your existing EMR. Cortico is purpose-built to deliver both, driving industry-leading patient adoption rates (many clinics reach 90%+ online booking), alongside the broadest set of deep, real-time EMR integrations on the market.

Most clinics that switch to Cortico are replacing either their EMR’s built-in booking module or a standalone medical scheduling software program with our fully automated patient scheduling software. Migration is handled during onboarding, with existing appointments and provider schedules syncing over without disruption.
