The Numbers Your Leadership Actually Asks For
A few of the views PlaidCloud puts in one place, so no one has to rebuild them.

Providers Above Target Margin
And every other metric your P&L conversation depends on. Values shown are from a PlaidCloud demo model with synthetic data; they do not represent any actual company, provider, or patient.
What Gets in the Way
Revenue is visible, cost is not
You can see collections by location and productivity by provider. Fully loaded cost to deliver a visit or a procedure is much harder to pin down.
Overhead lands in a bucket nobody owns
Shared services and management company costs get spread with a method leadership doesn't fully trust, so the margin numbers get argued rather than acted on.
Ancillary lines look better than they are
Pathology, imaging, ASC, and chronic care management can carry costs that never make it into the service line view.
Contracts get renewed without cost data
Payer negotiations happen on reimbursement rates alone, because nobody can say what a procedure actually costs to serve.
New sites take quarters to diagnose
Acquired and de novo practices arrive on different systems, so it's months before anyone can tell whether they're performing.
How PlaidCloud Helps
See true margin, every dimension
Service line, ancillary, provider, department, location, and payer contract, with direct and indirect expenses, occupancy, management fees, and shared services allocated rather than ignored.
Allocations your partners will accept
Transparent, rules-based cost allocation you can walk a physician partner or a board through line by line.
Provider statements from the same model
Provider-level P&L and distributable income calculations that tie to your service line reporting, so a physician partner and the CFO see consistent numbers.
Cost per encounter you can defend
A fully loaded unit cost that stands up in a contract negotiation, a pricing decision, or a site of service analysis.
Every number traces back
Click any margin figure and follow it through the allocations to the underlying encounters and transactions. Validation runs as part of the model. No black box.

Unio Health PartnersWhat Makes PlaidCloud Different
Scoped before it is built
We agree your starter set of dashboards before implementation begins, based on the questions your leadership is actually asking. Connection to athenaOne takes days, so you see your own numbers early instead of finding out a quarter later whether the scope was right.
Enterprise capability without the enterprise price tag
No per-user license fees, unlimited viewers on every plan, and all compute included. Most of the cost in a profitability initiative is not the software: it is the warehouse build, the multi-year implementation, and the standing consulting engagement.
Proven components, shaped to how you run
Built on allocation models already running in production for multi-specialty provider platforms, and none of it is locked. Changing a method later does not mean a re-implementation.
Any source, nothing to rip out
athenaOne, your ERP or general ledger, payroll and HRIS, AP and supply spend, contract and fee schedule data, other EHR or billing systems, and the spreadsheets your team still relies on. If it matters to your margin, it can come in.
Connects Directly
Direct connection to athenaOne. Nothing to install.
Secure & Compliant
SOC 2 Type 2 audited, on HIPAA-compliant infrastructure.
Dedicated Support
Real people. Real support.
Questions Finance Leaders Ask
Does PlaidCloud integrate with athenahealth?
Yes. PlaidCloud connects directly to athenaOne, with nothing to install and no change to clinical workflow. Charges, payments, adjustments, claims, scheduling, provider, and department data flow in on the schedule you set. PlaidCloud is a listed athenahealth Marketplace partner.
What if we run on more than athenaOne?
Most organizations do, and that is the point. PlaidCloud connects to your ERP or general ledger, payroll and HRIS, AP and supply spend, contract and fee schedule data, and other EHR or billing systems. Joining those sources is what turns practice management data into a real cost model.
How fast can we get a first view?
We connect and pull your first load of data in days. The full timeline depends on scope: which systems you want joined, how your allocation methods need to be validated, and your own project requirements.
What can we actually see?
Margin by service line and ancillary line, provider and location contribution, payer and contract profitability measured against cost to serve, fully loaded cost per encounter and per procedure, provider statements, and budget to actual with the drivers behind each variance.
Can we trace a number back to its source?
Yes. Every figure traces through the allocations to the underlying encounters and transactions, and validation runs as part of the model, checking drivers, opening ledger values, and allocated results against source.
How does PlaidCloud handle security and compliance?
PlaidCloud undergoes an annual SOC 2 Type 2 audit and runs on HIPAA-compliant cloud infrastructure, with data encrypted in transit and at rest. See our security page for details.
