Charges for this service are as follows:
$10/note, with a minimum of 50 notes per month.

Verified by Talkatoo has a base charge and a usage based charge. The base charge is billed at the start of each month and includes up to 50 notes. The usage based charge is billed at the end of each month. For the purpose of billing, a note is any dictation up to 640 characters. The content of each note must relate to only one patient visit.

Your billing cycle is based on the calendar month. For example, if you start on June 20th, your next billing date will be July 20th. Your first month starts from the day you are onboarded not the date you sign up for the service. During your first month of Verified, you can cancel anytime and you will not be billed again. After your first month, one month’s notice is required to cancel the service.

Verified assists in the creation of records; however, you are entirely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of your records.
