HR for Health

What Is HR for Health?  

HR for Health is a healthcare-focused human resources software platform designed for medical and dental practices managing employee-related tasks. The platform brings together hiring and onboarding, employee management, performance reviews, time tracking, payroll, compliance, and employee handbooks under one system. As a result, healthcare practices can manage employee records and HR processes from one place, instead of relying on scattered systems.

What Is HR for Health Best For?

The platform is best for its hiring and onboarding capabilities. It permits hiring managers to add new hires through a guided wizard. From there, a self-serve onboarding path takes over. Required documents go out automatically, and completion status updates as each one comes back. To support this process, healthcare-specific templates cover job descriptions, offer letters, and new hire checklists, so nothing gets built from scratch.  

How Much Does HR for Health Cost?

The pricing for HR for Health starts at $179/month (single location). This plan, called Basic, includes an up-to-date employee handbook, HR compliance support, 12 hours of annual HR advising, people management software, document automation, and time-saving tools. Further pricing tiers of the software are as follows:

• Essentials - Starting at $249/month
• Plus - Starting at $348/month
• Premium - Starting at $374/month

Depending on the size of the software rollout, buyers may also have to factor in some of the expenses:

• Account Setup: A one-time fee ranging between $1,200 and $2,000
• Additional Locations: $170–$250/month/extra office, since plans are priced per location rather than as a flat organization-wide rate
• Payroll Add-On: $4–$10/employee/month on top of the base HR subscription, since payroll runs as a separate module billed by headcount
• Employee Scheduling Module: $2–$6/employee/month for digital scheduling integrated with the time clock
• 401(k) Plan Administration: $75–$150/month base recordkeeping fee, plus $4–$8 per enrolled employee per month, plus a $500–$2,000 one-time setup cost for practices using the managed plan
• HR Advisory Overage: $150–$300/hour once a practice exceeds the advising hours included in its tier
• Data Migration And Setup Time: No published fee, but practices moving records from paper files or a legacy system should budget internal staff hours for the transition

Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

HR for Health Use Cases

Our analysis of HR for Health features shows it can support the following business scenarios:

1. Dental And Medical Practices Managing Healthcare-Specific Payroll

HR for Health places pay rates, time clocks, and payroll reporting into a system built around healthcare practice structures. This helps practice owners avoid the pay errors and reporting mistakes generic payroll tools produce. Those mistakes are a common risk that would be difficult to catch across disconnected, non-industry-specific payroll systems.

2. Practices Managing Wage And Hour Requirements

Medical and dental practices must stay on top of wage-and-hour requirements that affect employee pay and working time. HR for Health brings payroll, time tracking, and HR support together to help practice owners identify potential pay issues and handle wage-related requirements before they develop into costly disputes.

3. Dental Support Organizations Coordinating Staffing Across Locations

DSOs and group dental practices often have to coordinate hiring, performance, and payroll across multiple sites and departments. HR for Health connects these functions within one shared platform, giving practice leaders a broader basis for managing employees, assignments, and staffing needs across every location.

4. Practice Owners Accessing Certified HR Guidance

HR for Health brings a team of SHRM-certified HR specialists into the platform used by medical and dental practices. This addresses the challenge of resolving difficult personnel situations as they arise, giving practice owners direct access to expert guidance when they need help handling employee-related issues.

5. Practices Building Custom Employee Handbooks And Policies

Generic handbook templates rarely match the regulatory needs of a specific medical or dental practice. HR for Health places personalized employee manuals and HR policies into an electronic system used by the practice. This addresses the challenge of maintaining documentation suited to a practice's state and industry without relying on paper files.

Is HR for Health Right For You?  

HR for Health is ideal for practice owners who feel buried under paperwork, spreadsheets, and scattered tools, and no longer have time to track every new law by hand. It particularly suits growing and multi-location practices where workforce, compliance, and tax management start to become complicated.  

Take January 1, 2026, when over a hundred new healthcare employment laws took effect. A few examples show the range. There's a new tax credit for employer-provided family and medical leave. High earners now face updated catch-up contribution limits. And thanks to last year's One Big Beautiful Bill, tax-free limits for dependent care assistance also increased.  

Practices using HR for Health get their employee handbooks updated automatically as each law kicks in, and employee signatures get collected the same way.
