Millennium Certified APIs
Standard (standalone environment) healthcare provider implementation categories are separated into similarly situated tiers of S/M/L/XL based on the volume of patient records in the system.

Please note that actual contracted amounts may vary from those shown in the table by up to $8 based on rounding applied for fee calculations.
- Small (S) = 0-2 million patient records
- Medium (M) = 2-10 million patient records
- Large (L) = 10-20 million patient records
- Extra Large (XL) = 20+ million patient records
In addition to the fees outlined in the table below, a one-time setup fee of $10,000 also applies for first-time implementations covering one production environment and one non-production environment. A one-time $5,000 fee applies for each additional non-production environment setup requested. No additional charges apply related to ongoing use of the certified API technology.
