name: NextGen Healthcare API Plans and Pricing
description: >
  NextGen Healthcare publishes three named API developer program tiers on its Developer Program
  page, each with an explicit fee statement, but publishes NO list prices anywhere:
  www.nextgen.com/pricing (HTTP 200, re-checked 2026-08-14) is a contact-sales page carrying a demo
  request form, live chat, a phone number and info@nextgen.com for RFI/RFP, with no tiers, prices
  or quotas on it. Development against every tier is explicitly free; only production distribution
  under the API Distributor Program is said to carry fees, and those are quoted privately. Platform
  (EHR/PM) licensing that a client organization needs before it can enable API integrations is not
  priced publicly either. Tier names, inclusions and fee language below are quoted from NextGen's
  own Developer Program page; no price NextGen does not publish is asserted here.

  note: >-
    A NextGen Enterprise EHR / practice-management license is a prerequisite for a client
    organization to enable API integrations, but NextGen publishes no price for it. Per-user
    figures circulating on third-party review sites are not sourced to NextGen and are deliberately
    not recorded here.
