Frequently Asked Questions
How does DeepCura compare to Microsoft Dragon Copilot?
DeepCura is a full clinical AI platform with ambient scribing, a 24/7 AI receptionist, fax management, prior authorization, patient intake, and 7+ EHR integrations for $129/month. Microsoft Dragon Copilot (formerly DAX Copilot) offers ambient scribing, coding suggestions, and referral letters with deep integrations into Epic, athenahealth, and MEDITECH. Dragon Copilot pricing is not publicly listed and typically requires working with a Microsoft partner.
Is Dragon Copilot only for Epic users?
No. While Dragon Copilot was historically most closely associated with Epic, Microsoft now officially supports integrations with athenahealth and MEDITECH as well, and broader EHR access is available via the Dragon Medical One platform. DeepCura integrates with Epic, eClinicalWorks, OptiMantra, Athena, AdvancedMD, Veradigm, and more.
How much does Dragon Copilot cost?
Microsoft does not publicly list Dragon Copilot subscription pricing. Third-party reseller listings suggest approximately $400-600+/month per provider, with volume discounts available. A lower-cost "Physician Practice Per User" license exists for practices with up to 100 clinicians, but its pricing requires a quote. DeepCura is $129/month with transparent, publicly listed pricing and no long-term contracts.
Does Dragon Copilot have an AI receptionist?
No. Dragon Copilot focuses on clinical documentation, coding suggestions, referral letters, and after-visit summaries within the EHR. DeepCura includes a 24/7 AI receptionist that handles patient calls, scheduling, triage, and prescription refill requests.
Can small practices use Dragon Copilot?
Microsoft now offers a "Physician Practice Per User" license designed for independent practices and small hospitals with up to 100 clinicians. However, you still need to work with a Microsoft representative or certified partner to obtain a quote. DeepCura offers self-service signup with no sales call required and no minimum commitments.
Are both platforms HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Both DeepCura and Microsoft Dragon Copilot are HIPAA compliant and provide Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). Both encrypt data in transit and at rest.
Does DeepCura offer a free trial?
Yes. DeepCura offers a free trial with no credit card required. You can test every AI agent — scribe, receptionist, billing, intake, fax management, and clinical AI chat — before committing. Dragon Copilot typically requires working with a Microsoft sales representative or partner.
Which platform is better for independent practices?
DeepCura is purpose-built for independent and small-to-mid-size practices with affordable pricing, self-service onboarding, and broad EHR support. Dragon Copilot is primarily adopted by larger health systems, though a practice-tier license is now available for organizations with up to 100 clinicians.
