Who Luma Health is best for
Luma Health describes itself as a Patient Success Platform with "operational AI" for patient access. It targets health systems, specialty groups, regional and rural care and primary care, and its homepage says more than 1,000 healthcare organizations use it, including Banner Health, Virtua Health and UAMS.
Best for
- Health systems with high call volumes that want AI to handle routine scheduling calls
- Multi-location specialty groups managing referrals and waitlists across sites
- Organizations on Epic, Oracle Health or MEDITECH that need two-way scheduling integration
Not ideal for
- Solo and small practices that want simple reminders at a published monthly price
- Practices on EHRs outside Luma's integration list

Luma Health pricing
Luma Health does not publish pricing; prospects request a demo. Ask Luma to itemize costs for each module, AI agents, fax automation and messaging, and to confirm whether integration and implementation work is billed separately.

HIPAA, security and integrations
Luma's security and trust page states that "all of Luma's software and company processes are fully HIPAA-compliant." It reports HITRUST CSF r2 certification, an annual SOC 2 Type II audit, ISO 27001:2022 certification and TX-RAMP Level 2 certification, and says its AI products are built to be ISO 42001 compliant. It runs on AWS across multiple availability zones. The page does not mention a business associate agreement, so confirm BAA terms in the contract.
Luma lists integrations, which it describes as bidirectional, with Epic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH, NextGen, Nextech, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth and Greenway. Its homepage also shows Salesforce, Stripe, Waystar and InstaMed.
