Pricing FAQs

Don't see your question? Email pricing@hcinteractive.com.
What's the difference between annual and monthly billing?

Same total dollars, different payment cadence. Annual billing means one invoice per year (saves you 5%). Monthly billing means 12 invoices spread across the year. Both options require a 12-month minimum commitment — this isn't a "cancel anytime" subscription. We bill in advance, net-30 terms.

How does the multi-year discount work?

Sign a 3-year contract and we lock your rate at 15% below the 1-year price. Standard drops from $3,600/year to $3,060/year. Enterprise drops from $6,000/year to $5,100/year. Multi-year contracts can still be billed monthly. Locks in your rate against future price increases.

What if my staff count grows past my tier limit?

The admin portal will show you when you're approaching your tier ceiling. We'll prompt you to upgrade with a 30-day grace period. No hidden fees, no immediate gating — just a friendly upgrade prompt. If you're consistently over, we'll move you to the next tier and prorate the difference.

Is there a free trial?

Yes — 30 days, full access, no credit card required. You'll get a working admin portal, real Bundle Key, and a Customer Success Manager to walk you through implementation. After 30 days, you choose a plan or your account is paused. No auto-charge.

Do you offer discounts for chains or multi-site operators?

Yes. Chains with 3+ facilities get an additional 10% per-site discount on top of the multi-year discount. Reach out to sales for a custom quote — pricing@hcinteractive.com.

What about CMP grants?

If your state has an active Civil Money Penalty Reinvestment Program grant, your CARES® training may be fully funded by CMS over 3 years. Eligibility varies by state. Email cmp@hcinteractive.com to check your facility's status.

Are CEU credits included?

Yes — at every tier, no add-on fee. CARES® is accredited by both ANCC (American Nurses Credentialing Center) and NAB (National Association of Long Term Care Administrator Boards). When your staff complete a CARES® program and pass the certification exam, they receive a CEU certificate they can submit toward state license renewal. CEU contact hours vary by program — see individual program pages for details.

What payment methods do you accept?

ACH, check, or credit card (3% processing fee on cards over $1,000). Net-30 terms standard for all annual and multi-year contracts. We invoice through your accounts payable.

Can I cancel?

You can choose not to renew at the end of your 12-month contract by giving 60 days notice. Mid-contract cancellation isn't typically permitted, but contact your CSM if you have a hardship. Auto-renewal applies unless cancelled.
