EMR + RCM + CRM on one record
CurerTech
Yes — the chart, the claim and patient outreach share one record
Kipu
Partial — EMR, CRM, RCM, GRC and Intelligence are five separately priced products
CurerTechvs Kipu
On the dosing line, CurerTech and Kipu are evenly matched — methadone dosing, take-homes, and dispensing-pump integration. The difference is everything around the dose: where Kipu is the established residential EHR, CurerTech is the platform that runs records, billing (RCM), and patient engagement (CRM) on one record, bills CCBHC, and goes live in a typical 7–9 days, not months.
The short answer
What is the difference between Curertech and Kipu?
In one sentence: the dosing line is a tie. The difference is how many products — and how many invoices — it takes to run the rest of the clinic.
01 · Not the dose
The difference is not the dosing line
Methadone dosing, take-homes, tapers and titrations, SciLog and Ivek pumps, PDMP. Kipu does all of it, and does it well. The dosing window will not separate these two platforms.
02 · Five products
It is how many contracts it takes
Kipu sells the EMR, CRM, RCM, GRC and Kipu Intelligence as five separately priced products. The AI is an add-on. Each one is a line item — and a boundary your data has to cross.
03 · The consequence
What one record buys
The note, the claim and the outreach are written once. Add CCBHC — which Kipu does not document — and it lands on the record you already have, not on a sixth product.

* In their own words. Kipu MAT: “Ready-to-use integration is available with SciLog and Ivek dispensing pumps.” Kipu is genuinely strong on the dosing line, and we say so. Kipu lists five products — EMR, CRM, RCM, GRC and Kipu Intelligence — each with its own product page. Kipu does not publish pricing. Kipu’s published verticals are substance abuse, behavioral health, eating disorders and MAT. No CCBHC or PPS billing is described.

The fit
Is CurerTech the right platform for your clinic?
If you recognize your clinic below, the switch is worth it.
You run programs, not just beds
- You bill CCBHC, or you are heading there.
- You want the chart, the claim and patient outreach on one record, not five line items.
- Your billing is leaking, and you want it fixed in the same system as the chart.
- You want AI drafting your notes without a second contract.
- You cannot wait months, and you want the price before the call.
One caveat, plainly: if residential treatment at scale is the whole of your business, Kipu is deeper there. On everything else on this page, we back ourselves.

Comparison questions
CurerTech vs Kipu, answered
What is the difference between CurerTech and Kipu?
CurerTech is an all-in-one platform that runs EMR, RCM (billing), and CRM (patient engagement) on one shared record, supports CCBHC and PPS billing, can be bought by system, and typically goes live in 7–9 days. Kipu is an established EHR whose heritage and strength is residential and detox treatment, with an enterprise-style implementation and quote-only pricing. Both support methadone dosing and dispensing-pump integration.
Does CurerTech integrate with methadone dispensing pumps?
Yes. CurerTech integrates with dispensing pumps, so the dose dispensed and the dose charted are the same record. Kipu also documents pump connectors, so this is not a differentiator between the two.
Is CurerTech an alternative to Kipu?
Yes. Both serve behavioral health and addiction treatment, including opioid treatment programs. CurerTech's difference is scope and speed — one record across EMR, billing, and engagement, CCBHC support, and a typical 7–9 day go-live.
Which is better for a CCBHC?
CurerTech. It supports the CCBHC model including PPS billing and quality-measure reporting. Kipu does not clearly document CCBHC or PPS support publicly.
Which is better for residential treatment?
Residential treatment is what Kipu was built for, and it remains their strongest ground. CurerTech supports residential and detox — beds, ASAM levels, withdrawal assessment — but if residential is the core of your business rather than one program among several, Kipu is the deeper system.
How long does it take to switch from Kipu to CurerTech?
A typical CurerTech switch takes 7–9 days, with migration run by our team. Actual timing depends on data volume and program complexity.
How much does CurerTech cost compared to Kipu?
CurerTech publishes single-clinic plans starting at $799/month, and larger builds are quoted by system — you pay only for the systems you run. Kipu is quote-only and does not publish pricing.
