The High Cost of Discovery Aggregators
Traditional doctor discovery portals and professional booking networks charge between 15% and 25% of your consultation fees in exchange for sending SMS and WhatsApp reminders.
Over a single year, a practitioner seeing 20 clients a day at ₹500 per visit pays over **₹4,50,000 in aggregator commissions**.
