Questions

Questions practices ask

Is Sondeas a good fit for private practice medical transcription?

Yes, if your clinicians are happy to review and sign their own notes: Sondeas drafts them from dictation or a recorded visit, with evidence and checks. If you rely on human typists with a contracted turnaround, a transcription service fits better.

How does billing work?

45 $US per clinician seat a month billed yearly, or 55 $US monthly, plus 19 $US per secretary seat, from 3 seats. Each clinician seat adds 25 fast hours to a shared pool. One invoice, with taxes shown before you pay, and a 14-day money-back on the first payment.

What happens when a new colleague joins?

An admin invites them and assigns a seat. If no seat is free, they see "Ask your admin to add a seat", and billing updates when the seat is added.

Can our secretary type and send letters?

Secretaries get their own seat and role. The shared queue for typing and sending letters is not finished yet; ask in your demo what is live today.

How is patient data protected?

Notes are stored with ChaCha20-Poly1305 field encryption. The practice sets retention, and a DPA is available. We don't offer a HIPAA business associate agreement (BAA) at launch.

Do we need patient consent?

Yes, before any consultation is recorded, in every country. Sondeas shows a script for your country and logs each answer with the visit.
