WealMD vs
PatientNow
For a clinic that offers both aesthetics and hormone therapy, compare the clinical visit as carefully as the front desk. PatientNow publishes aesthetic charting, photos, marketing, digital intake and an included AI Scribe. WealMD documents HRT-oriented intake, records and AI Encounter.
Vendor sources checked October 19, 2026
Editorial disclosure: WealMD publishes this comparison and is one of the products discussed. It uses vendor-owned public sources and WealMD product documentation, not a hands-on audit of the other platform. Availability, plan terms and pricing can change. Ask each vendor to demonstrate your exact workflow and confirm it in writing.
Which platform should you evaluate first?
PatientNow is a strong candidate when before-and-after photography, campaigns, memberships and aesthetics operations are central; it also advertises AI Scribe in all plans. WealMD should be evaluated for its documented HRT intake, note, follow-up and clinician sign-off workflow. Compare an actual mixed med-spa and hormone-care visit, then request plan-specific pricing from both companies.

Where each platform may fit
Choose WealMD to evaluate hormone-care operations
Use a demo to follow a pre-visit questionnaire into a patient record, SOAP/progress note, follow-up task and prescription sign-off. Check whether AI Encounter is enabled for your clinic and how consent and review are handled.
Choose PatientNow to evaluate aesthetic operations
If before-and-after photography, aesthetic charting, memberships and campaign tools drive your daily work, PatientNow has those capabilities on its public platform pages. It also advertises AI Scribe, so the choice is about workflow fit and pricing, not the mere presence of AI. PatientNow overview
A practical evaluation for an HRT clinic
Trace a mixed aesthetics and HRT patient
Take one patient who books an aesthetic service and later needs a hormone-care follow-up. Ask where photographs and consents live, whether staff can see completed intake, how the prescriber reviews the prior note, and whether separate service lines share one chart. PatientNow publishes RxPhoto, marketing, booking and EMR tools. WealMD's specification documents records, questionnaires and clinical notes, but does not establish an equivalent photo-markup or campaign suite; do not assume parity. PatientNow plan inclusions.
Compare the AI note at sign-off
PatientNow says AI Scribe is included in all plans. WealMD documents AI Encounter as a draft workflow with clinician review. Ask both teams to demonstrate a correction after a mistaken transcription, show who can edit the note, and explain when a note becomes final. Also check consent, retention and access rules for any audio. The difference may be workflow and availability, not the presence of AI. PatientNow AI Scribe plans.
Check plan boundaries for remote care and prescribing
PatientNow's pricing page places telehealth in higher tiers and shows e-prescribing in Catalyst. Ask whether your proposed plan includes the exact remote-visit, lab and prescribing functions you see in a sales demo. WealMD's specification documents browser video through a connected Daily.co integration and prescription sign-off fields, but you should confirm deployment status and avoid treating those fields as proof of EPCS. PatientNow plan comparison.
Model the revenue workflow honestly
PatientNow's published tiers emphasize booking, deposits, loyalty, marketing, financing and staff insights. Those can matter more than EMR differences for an aesthetics-heavy practice. WealMD documents invoicing and payments but does not have verified parity with PatientNow's marketing suite. Request itemized quotes for each location, users, message volume, implementation and photo/marketing features, then calculate what your team would actually use. PatientNow pricing.
Questions to take to both demos
- Can staff send an HRT questionnaire before the appointment and see the answers in the clinician’s workflow?
- How are aesthetic photos, consent status and hormone-therapy notes connected in one record?
- Does the plan include the exact AI note, eRx, lab, telehealth and marketing functions shown in the demo?
- What is the all-in cost after onboarding, migration, users, locations and add-ons?
Common questions
Does PatientNow include AI Scribe?
PatientNow's current pricing page says AI Scribe is included in all plans. Ask for a demonstration of note review and the terms that apply to your quote.
Does WealMD include aesthetic photo tools?
The supplied WealMD specification does not substantiate an equivalent RxPhoto workflow. Ask WealMD to demonstrate your exact photo and consent requirements before relying on it.
Can I compare published prices?
PatientNow shows plan contents but directs buyers to a personalized quote; a verified public WealMD subscription price was not found. Use written, like-for-like quotes.
