SigmaMD

What SigmaMD does

SigmaMD (operated by Sigmoid Health Inc.) is a cloud-based, all-in-one Electronic Medical Records platform purpose-built for Direct Care practices operating outside traditional insurance reimbursement. The company targets two primary segments: Direct Primary Care (DPC) practices and Direct Specialty Care (DSC) practices spanning pediatrics, rheumatology, podiatry, cardiology, women's health, obesity medicine, and endocrinology. The platform consolidates six functional modules — EMR (clinical notes, ePrescribe, eLab orders/results, referrals), AI Copilot (AI Scribe for clinical documentation, Population Health, Charts & Trends), Communication Tools (secure chat, telemedicine, eFax, patient education), Memberships & Payments (membership controls, web self-enrollment, invoicing), Practice Management (self-scheduling, tasks, team management), and a Patient App on iOS/Android — plus an Employer Solutions module for workplace Direct Care programs. Underlying technology relies on a cloud SaaS architecture, FHIR and CCD health data interoperability, Stripe-based payment processing, and calendar integrations with Google and Microsoft.

The business is structured as a private US corporation headquartered in Santa Clara, with 11–50 employees and no disclosed institutional funding. Revenue is generated through monthly subscription platform fees; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company offers a free clinician trial via clinician.sigmamd.com/register-trial. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (self-serve trial and onboarding) with community-led engagement at Direct Care conferences (DPC Summit, DPC Nuts & Bolts, FMMA, Pediatric DPC Mastermind) and formal partnerships with the DPC Alliance, DSC Alliance, and AAFP. Customer references are predominantly solo practitioners and small independent practices, and the company is founder-led by Sid Bhatt.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Cerbo: Cerbo provides an EHR and patient portal platform widely used by Direct Primary Care and integrative/functional medicine practices. It is a direct competitor to SigmaMD in the DPC market with comparable membership-billing and patient-engagement features.
• Elation Health: Elation Health provides an EHR and clinical platform purpose-built for primary care, including Direct Primary Care practices. It is the closest direct competitor to SigmaMD in the DPC EHR space with overlapping feature scope (clinical documentation, billing, patient engagement).
• Hint Health: Hint Health offers a DPC-specific platform combining membership billing, practice management, and an EHR-adjacent clinical experience. It targets the same Direct Care buyer as SigmaMD and overlaps on membership/payments and employer billing functionality.

Broad incumbents

• Athenahealth: Athenahealth is a large, established EHR and practice management vendor serving ambulatory practices across the U.S. It competes with SigmaMD for primary and specialty care physician customers but does not specialize in Direct Care-specific workflows like membership billing.
• eClinicalWorks: eClinicalWorks is a large ambulatory EHR vendor with broad market share among independent practices. It serves as the legacy incumbent against which SigmaMD positions itself as a modern, purpose-built alternative.
• Practice Fusion: Practice Fusion is a long-standing cloud-based EHR serving small independent practices in the U.S. It competes with SigmaMD on price-sensitive primary care and specialty practice customers, though without Direct Care specialization.

Emerging players

• Canvas Medical: Canvas Medical is an emerging developer-friendly EHR platform targeting innovative primary care and value-based care providers. It overlaps with SigmaMD in serving independent primary care practices but with a stronger API and value-based care orientation.
• CharmHealth: CharmHealth provides a cloud EHR, practice management, and patient portal solution aimed at small to mid-sized practices. It competes with SigmaMD for ambulatory physician customers seeking all-in-one platforms at lower price points.
• DrChrono by Qualifacts: DrChrono (now part of Qualifacts) offers a cloud-based EHR with mobile-first design and practice management tools. It overlaps with SigmaMD on iOS/Android-native clinical workflows and serves a similar small-practice customer base.
• Spruce Health: Spruce Health offers a communication-first platform for medical practices including telehealth, secure messaging, and patient collaboration tools. It overlaps with SigmaMD's Communication Tools module and competes for the same small-practice buyer.
