  The intent is to give you the reassurance that you are not locked in.
  We anticipate you will choose support because we give great value. In fact, almost all practices choose support.
  Please note that we do not support practices that do not purchase the BBBB, a server appliance that helps ensure you get the best possible service from our organisation.
  
  Support includes:
  1) Telephone and email support.
  2) Remote management of the BBBB
  
  Support can only be purchased in advance, on an annual basis, and costs:
  
  R533.49* per month (if you chose not to receive paper labs reports - we will need to be c.c. on your letters to your labs confirming this) and
  R847.85* (if you chose to receive paper reports in addition to your electronic Bluebird reports).

• BBBB

  This high end server appliance, without which we do not offer support, is currently priced at R17 257.20 (including VAT but excluding courier charges), however, pricing is dependent on hardware costs at the time of purchase.

• Off-Site Backup

  R89.12 per month for those who receive the majority of their lab reports on Bluebird, else R163.74

• Remote Access

  R89.12 per month

We regularly get asked how we manage to offer such reasonable pricing. The answer is threefold:

1) We have been a successful business for more than 15 years and our initial costs are long paid off.
2) We do not employ a sales force (which generally doubles the software cost). This means that we do not come to your practice to give you a demo, rather we expect you to make the decision to try our software by accessing our web resources

• Training videos
• Manuals
• Demo software

You (perhaps with the help of your local IT tech) are able set up a full system without any financial outlay.

3) We charge the labs to send your electronic lab reports (typically 1% of the medical aid payment for the test) and use that fee to subsidise your charges. If you choose not to receive your lab results electronically, a surcharge will apply to your monthly support fee.

* Prices as of 1 April 2017 and exclude VAT, prices increase by the COL each year on April 1
