Last updated: March 31, 2026

TLDR

Pro ~$50/user/mo Advanced clinical workflows, Patient-linked tasks, Care team routing, Reporting dashboards, Priority support

Hidden Costs You Won't See on the Pricing Page

  • Per-user pricing scales with every new hire — adding a part-time MA costs the same as adding a full-time physician
  • No compliance program features — separate tool required for risk assessments, training records, and policy management
  • Combined cost with a compliance platform is $299-$874/month for a 10-person clinic
  • Annual plans may be required for discounted pricing

Dock Health’s Pricing Model

Dock Health charges per user per month. Their two published tiers are Basic at $15/user and Pro at $50/user. Both tiers include a BAA and full HIPAA-native task management. BAA availability at the Basic tier is one of the clearest advantages over Asana and Monday.com. Dock Health is also one of only three tools that sign BAAs with no seat minimum — alongside Microsoft 365 and PHIGuard.

For physician clinics, the per-user pricing creates a predictable but scaling cost structure:

Staff CountBasicPro
5 users$75/month$250/month
10 users$150/month$500/month
15 users$225/month$750/month
20 users$300/month$1,000/month

Every new hire adds to the monthly bill. For practices in a growth phase — bringing on a new MA, adding a billing coordinator, hiring a part-time nurse — Dock Health’s cost scales linearly with headcount.

What’s Included at Each Tier

Basic ($15/user/month): Task assignment and tracking, HIPAA-native workspace with BAA, basic templates for common healthcare workflows, task history and audit trail. Covers the core task management needs for most small physician practices.

Pro ($35/user/month): Adds patient-linked tasks (connecting work items to specific patient records), advanced care team routing (tasks routed based on role and specialty), and more detailed reporting. For practices managing complex clinical coordination, Pro’s features justify the higher cost. For practices primarily handling administrative tasks, Basic often covers what’s needed.

The Compliance Gap

Dock Health is task management software for healthcare. It is not a HIPAA compliance platform.

Your practice’s compliance program requirements — documented risk assessment, staff training records, written policies, BAA inventory, breach response documentation — are not covered by Dock Health at any tier. These are required under the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules, and they belong in a separate compliance platform.

This is the core cost problem for Dock Health users. Most physician clinics on Dock Health are also paying for Compliancy Group ($300+/month), Accountable HQ ($149+/month), or a consultant to cover the compliance layer. The combined spend often exceeds $300-$700/month.

PHIGuard combines the task management layer with compliance documentation in one flat-rate subscription. The flat rate also means you don’t pay more as your clinic grows from 10 to 15 to 20 staff.

When Dock Health Is the Right Choice

If your practice has active clinical care coordination needs — patient-linked task routing, multi-specialty care team workflows, clinical handoff tracking — Dock Health Pro has depth that PHIGuard doesn’t yet match. For practices where the primary use case is clinical coordination and you have compliance handled separately, Dock Health Pro is worth its cost.

For practices managing administrative operations and seeking to consolidate task management and compliance documentation at a lower total cost, PHIGuard’s flat-rate model closes the gap.

Q&A

How much does Dock Health cost per year for a 15-person physician clinic?

Dock Health Basic for 15 users: $225/month ($2,700/year). Dock Health Pro: $525/month ($6,300/year). Neither includes a compliance program. Adding Accountable HQ at $149/month brings annual total to $4,728-$8,028/year. PHIGuard Clinic covers up to 25 staff with task management and compliance for $49/month ($588/year).

Q&A

Is Dock Health or PHIGuard cheaper for a small physician clinic?

PHIGuard is cheaper for any clinic with 2 or more staff. Dock Health's per-user pricing starts at $15/user, so two users cost $30/month vs PHIGuard Practice at $20/month. The gap widens as staff count grows, and PHIGuard includes compliance documentation that Dock Health doesn't.

Monthly cost (small practice) $15-$35/user/mo $20–$99/mo
BAA included Enterprise only Every tier
Pricing model Per-user Per-clinic flat rate
What does Dock Health Pro include that Basic doesn't?
Dock Health Pro includes patient-linked tasks (connecting tasks to specific patient records), advanced care team routing, and more detailed reporting. For physician practices primarily managing administrative workflows rather than clinical care coordination, Basic tier often covers what's needed.
Does Dock Health include a BAA on their Basic tier?
Yes. Dock Health includes a BAA at every pricing tier, including Basic at $15/user/month. This is a meaningful advantage over Asana and Monday.com, which only offer BAAs on enterprise tiers.
At what staff count does Dock Health become more expensive than PHIGuard?
At the Basic tier, a clinic with 2 or more staff pays more than PHIGuard Practice ($20/month). PHIGuard Clinic ($49/month) covers up to 25 staff — Dock Health Basic for 4+ users exceeds that cost. PHIGuard's flat rate becomes more economical at any practical staff size.
Does Dock Health offer a flat-rate option?
Dock Health's pricing is per-user. There is no flat clinic rate equivalent. Every additional staff member adds to the monthly cost.
