Telemedicine App Development Company

A telemedicine app development company designs and builds the full virtual care product: the patient app, the provider app or web portal, secure video and messaging, scheduling and intake, e-prescribing, EHR integration, billing, and the admin console. Xicom also helps you plan data protection, integrations, and launch markets, then supports the platform after launch.

Cost depends on the number of platforms, the visit types you offer, which EHR and e-prescribing systems you integrate, whether you include remote monitoring devices, and how billing works. A video visit app for one practice costs far less than a multi-state virtual care platform with EHR integration, insurance billing, and remote monitoring. We share a written estimate after a short scoping phase.

An MVP with sign-up, scheduling, intake forms, and video visits usually takes a few months. Platforms with EHR integration, e-prescribing, insurance billing, and remote monitoring take longer. EHR vendor access and partner approvals often decide the launch date, so we start those requests in the first week.

In the US, a telemedicine app used by healthcare providers or health plans handles protected health information, so it must meet the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules. We build with encryption, role-based access, audit logs, and HIPAA-eligible cloud and video services from vendors that sign business associate agreements. Final compliance review stays with your privacy officer or counsel.

Not for most US providers anymore. The HHS Office for Civil Rights relaxed HIPAA enforcement for consumer video tools during the COVID-19 public health emergency, but that flexibility ended on August 9, 2023. Telehealth video now needs a HIPAA-compliant setup, which usually means a video provider that signs a business associate agreement and an app that controls who can join each visit.

Yes. We integrate with EHR systems such as Epic and Oracle Health using HL7 FHIR APIs and SMART on FHIR app launch where the vendor supports them, and through HL7 v2 interfaces or integration engines for older systems. Typical data flows include patient demographics, appointments, visit notes, medications, and lab results.

Yes. We integrate e-prescribing services that send prescriptions to the patient's chosen pharmacy. Controlled substances follow additional DEA rules. The DEA has extended its telemedicine prescribing flexibilities for controlled substances through December 31, 2026, so we design prescribing workflows that can adapt when those rules change.

In the US, clinicians generally need to be licensed in the state where the patient is located during the visit. Programs such as the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact help eligible physicians get licenses in multiple states faster. We build state-based matching so patients only see providers who are licensed for their location.

We offer Fixed Price for well-defined MVPs, Time and Material for integration-heavy or evolving scopes, and Dedicated Team for long-term product development. We work with clients in the USA and across 50+ countries.

Yes. After launch we monitor uptime, video quality, and integration health, release OS and security updates, and add features as your roadmap grows. We also help adapt the platform when telehealth regulations, payer rules, or EHR interfaces change.
