Velant vs ModMed (Modernizing Medicine)
ModMed is a strong specialty EHR for dermatology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, plastics, and urology. It handles clinical documentation and specialty-specific workflows well. It is not a patient acquisition CRM. Velant adds the AI Voice Agent, AI follow-up, and marketing attribution that ModMed practices consistently need.

TL;DR — ModMed for specialty clinical workflows. Velant for new-patient acquisition.
ModMed's EMA platform is genuinely good for specialty clinical documentation — derm photos and templating, ophth imaging integration, ortho-specific workflows. Practices on ModMed who run paid ad campaigns or who need 24/7 inbound coverage consistently report the same gap: ModMed wasn't designed to capture, qualify, and book new patients before they hit the EHR.
- ModMed: specialty-optimized clinical EHR
- Velant: AI-powered CRM that captures patients before they hit ModMed
- Velant pushes booked patients into ModMed at appointment confirmation
- Unlimited users on Velant vs. ModMed per-provider pricing
- Closed-loop ad attribution that ModMed doesn't provide
What ModMed practices typically need that Velant adds
Specialty practices on ModMed running Google/Meta ads or driving high inbound call volume consistently hit the same operational issues. Velant addresses each directly without touching ModMed's clinical workflows.
- AI Voice Agent: 24/7 inbound new-patient call coverage
- AI Lead Follow-up SMS responding in under 30 seconds
- Closed-loop attribution from Google / Meta / TikTok ads to booked appointment
- Front-office intake automation (insurance verification before booking)
- Cosmetic + medical workflow separation for blended derm and ophth practices
How specialty groups run Velant + ModMed
The clean separation: Velant runs everything pre-clinical — capture, AI follow-up, eligibility, scheduling, intake — then pushes the booked patient into ModMed at appointment confirmation. Clinical documentation happens in ModMed. Recall and survivorship route back through Velant.
Pricing comparison
ModMed pricing is sales-quoted and typically runs $500-$700/provider/month for ambulatory specialty practices, plus implementation. Velant adds the entire patient acquisition layer for $99/month unlimited users on the Core plan, or $499/month with AI Voice Agent and Booking Agent.

Can Velant attribute cosmetic ad spend back to revenue?

How much does Velant cost relative to ModMed?
Velant Core is $99/mo unlimited users. ModMed typically runs $500-$700/provider/month. They solve different problems, so the comparison isn't apples-to-apples — but Velant pays for itself by capturing 1-2 more new patients per month.
