Answers are general operational information only — not legal, tax, regulatory, clinical, privacy, immigration, or professional advice. Requirements vary by matter, client, and regulator.

Frequently asked questions

Is hivi-x built for small agencies?

Yes. Pricing starts at $39 CAD/month (Starter) for up to 50 clients. Professional ($59) and Enterprise ($99) tiers scale with agency size.

Do I need AlayaCare first?

No. Many small private-pay agencies use hivi-x for intake and screening alongside paper or lightweight clinical tools. hivi-x complements clinical software when you adopt it later.

Can one person run intake and scheduling?

Yes. Solo coordinators use Starter. Add co-agent workflows on Enterprise when a scheduler needs scoped file access.
