Already Have an EMR? Add a Walk-in Waitlist Without Paying Per Doctor

Almost every clinic already runs an EMR for charts, billing and scheduling. When the clinic wants online booking, check-in or a waitlist, that usually comes from an add-on that connects to the EMR, and most of those add-ons charge for every doctor, every month. For a busy walk-in clinic, that bill grows each time a new physician joins.

How add-ons are usually priced

Booking and check-in add-ons in Canada publish prices from about $60 to $199 a month, and the most common unit is the full-time doctor. Check-in kiosks are often extra, and some services charge per location or ask for a quote. None of this is unreasonable, but it means a clinic with five doctors pays five times what a solo practice pays for the same tool.

What that adds up to for a five-doctor clinic

	Typical per-doctor add-on	QMyTurn Professional
Price	$86 to $199 per doctor, per month	$99 per month for up to 5 doctors
Five doctors	$430 to $995 a month	$99 a month
One year	$5,160 to $11,940	$1,188, or 10% less with annual billing

QMyTurn prices are in US dollars, and many Canadian add-ons publish in Canadian dollars. Even after converting, a flat price for the whole clinic is a fraction of paying per doctor. A solo practice can start on the Starter plan at $49 a month.

Keep your EMR

QMyTurn doesn’t replace your EMR, and you don’t have to migrate anything. Charts, billing and your appointment records stay where they are. QMyTurn runs in a web browser at the front desk and handles the part most EMRs don’t: the live line of patients waiting to be seen.

What you get

• A line for each physician. Walk-ins and booked appointments in one line, in the order patients arrived.
• Every way in. Patients join from a QR code, the clinic’s web page, the front desk or the free app, with no app required.
• A text when it’s their turn. Patients wait at home or in the car instead of filling the waiting room and the parking lot.
• A waiting-room screen. Patients waiting inside can watch the line move.
• Fewer no-shows. Appointment reminders, and missed appointments can be cancelled automatically so the line keeps moving.
• One tap to call the clinic. The clinic’s number is on the same screen as the patient’s place in line.
• Four languages, any country. English, Spanish, French and Arabic, with each clinic on its own time zone.

When an EMR add-on is still the better fit

If you need intake forms that write straight into the patient’s chart, or electronic referrals sent through your EMR, an add-on built for your EMR does that and QMyTurn doesn’t. Many clinics use both: the add-on for forms and referrals, and QMyTurn for the walk-in line.

Try it before you decide

1. Start a free 30-day trial. No credit card, and nothing is charged when it ends.
2. Set up a line for each physician and put the QR code at the door.
3. Run it alongside your current setup on a quieter day.
4. Compare what patients and the front desk think, and what it costs.

How QMyTurn helps

QMyTurn gives walk-in and family clinics a line per physician, text messages when it’s the patient’s turn, online booking, appointment reminders and a waiting-room screen, at one flat monthly price for up to five doctors. See pricing or see QMyTurn for clinics.
