Mirth Connect Consulting Firm — CMMI Level 3, Public Pricing, US Healthcare Focus
A Mirth Connect consulting firm should be evaluated on three dimensions: process maturity, pricing transparency, and demonstrated production depth. Our floor is CMMI Level 3, every price is published, and we've shipped over 5,000 HL7 and FHIR interfaces since 2012. Bronze $3,800/mo, Silver $6,800/mo, Gold $12,500/mo. Sprint engagements from $4,500. Free 30-minute Mirth Health Check.

The four checks procurement should run on any Mirth Connect consulting firm
Healthcare procurement teams have learned the hard way that “Mirth experience” is a claim, not a credential. Four checks that filter consulting firms from claim-makers.
Process maturity certification
CMMI Level 3 (or equivalent ISO 9001 maturity) is the floor for any vendor handling clinical data flows. Below that level, you're trusting that the firm's individual engineers happen to follow good process. Above it, the process is institutional. We hold CMMI Level 3 as a firm-level certification, not a project-level claim — meaning every engagement runs under the same documented process maturity.
Entity-level HIPAA BAA
Some Mirth consultancies route engagements through individual contractor agreements with personal-name BAAs. That's a thinner compliance posture than an entity-level BAA with a firm of size. Auditors notice the difference. Our BAA is signed at the entity level (Taction Software LLC) before any paid engagement.
Public pricing
Most consulting firms hide prices because their margin model depends on per-client negotiation. Hidden pricing is a tell that the firm prices opportunistically. We publish every price — Bronze, Silver, Gold, Enterprise, and all 8 sprint packages — at /pricing. The price you see is the price you pay.
Production-grade artifacts
Ask any consulting firm to show you a redacted channel documentation pack from a real production deployment. Not a slide. A real artifact. The firms that can produce it have shipped. The firms that can't, haven't. We share redacted examples under NDA at the SOW stage.
What our consulting practice covers
The practice is organized into two product lines, deliberately separated so the engagement type matches the problem type.
Productized integration sprints
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed timeline. Eight named sprints in the catalog — Mirth installation, FHIR R4 adapter, eClinicalWorks $export, NextGen Connect upgrade, HIPAA audit and remediation, plus three engine-migration sprints (Iguana, Rhapsody, Corepoint).
See all sprints →Monthly managed support tiers
Bronze through Enterprise. Predictable cost. SLA tied to the tier. Hour pool with weekly burn-down visibility.
See pricing →Most engagements follow a predictable shape: free Mirth Health Check → identified problem → one-time sprint → ongoing monthly support tier. The economics work because each step is small, named, and reversible. The buyer can stop after the health check, after the sprint, or after the first month of support — there's no annual lock-in.
Engagement economics — why productized pricing is the procurement win
Hourly consulting is a moving target. Procurement teams build SOWs against estimated hours, the vendor delivers on hours, the buyer pays for hours, and the relationship runs on time-tracking arguments. None of this serves clinical delivery.
Productized pricing inverts the model. The price is named. The scope is named. The timeline is named. The vendor has economic incentive to deliver inside the box because overruns hit our margin, not your invoice. Three procurement-facing benefits:
Faster SOW drafting. A productized sprint becomes a one-page SOW citing the public sprint page. Legal review is faster. Approvals are faster. Engagements can start in days instead of weeks.
No time-tracking overhead. Hourly engagements require time-sheet reconciliation, dispute resolution, and quarter-end true-ups. Productized engagements just bill the fixed amount on a fixed cadence.
Comparability across vendors. Two productized sprints from two firms are directly comparable on price and timeline. Two hourly engagements aren't — you're comparing rate cards and trusting the hour estimates, which always come in low. This is the same productized approach used for our broader Mirth Connect support practice.
Firm credentials, in detail
Healthcare buyers ask for this material before SOW signature. It's compiled into a single evidence pack on request.
Process maturity
CMMI Institute Level 3 appraised. Documented process areas include Requirements Management (REQM), Configuration Management (CM), Project Monitoring & Control (PMC), Measurement & Analysis (MA), and Process Quality Assurance (PPQA). The full appraisal artifact is shareable under NDA.
Security controls
ISO 27001-aligned security program. Endpoint hardening, IAM, secrets management, vulnerability scanning, vendor risk management. SOC 2 Type II is on our 2026 roadmap; current state is the underlying control set without the formal attestation.
HIPAA posture
Entity-level BAA signed before paid engagement. PHI minimization principles in engagement design — we observe configuration screens, not PHI itself, in audit work. Workforce training records maintained. Breach response plan documented.
Geographic footprint
Senior architects and incident-response leads in Chicago, Austin, Sacramento, and Cheyenne. Implementation teams in Noida. Follow-the-sun rotation is what makes the 15-minute SLA economically possible.
Client base
200+ healthcare clients since 2012. References available under NDA at the SOW stage. Real customer reviews public on our Clutch profile.
Insurance
Professional liability and cyber liability coverage at industry standard. Certificates available on request.
How we work with internal teams
Most healthcare integration teams aren't looking to outsource the function — they're looking to extend it. Our standard engagement pattern is augmentation, not replacement.
The in-house team owns business context.The EHR-vendor relationship. Clinical-workflow priorities. Strategic decisions about what to build next. These are the parts that can't be outsourced because they require operating inside the organization daily.
We own specialist work. 24/7 on-call. Mirth-specific deep work (transformer optimization, JVM tuning, version migrations). HIPAA-compliance heavy lifting. The work that requires depth in one technology rather than breadth across many.
The handoff between the two is documented in the engagement runbook and reviewed quarterly. Channel ownership is explicit — every channel is either “in-house owned, vendor consulted” or “vendor owned, in-house consulted.” No shared ownership, which is where work falls through cracks.
How engagements start
Three doors, roughly proportional to how new clients arrive.
Health-check first
Most common path. Free Mirth Health Check → audit report → SOW for the next step. The buyer keeps the report whether or not they engage further.
Claim Free Health Check →Sprint first
Buyer already knows the project — Iguana migration, FHIR R4 adapter, eCW $export, HIPAA audit. Direct to SOW, start within two weeks.
See All Sprints →Support first
Buyer has lost previous integration capacity (engineer departed, vendor relationship ended) and needs immediate coverage. Emergency onboarding in 48–72 hours.
