When integrating Practice by Numbers (PbN) with Curve PMS, you’ll have full access to the core functionality needed to run and grow your practice—while a few areas are still evolving as Curve continues to expand their API.
The most important takeaway:
Everything you rely on day-to-day in PbN - KPIs, Revenue IQ, Huddle, Tasks, patient tracking, and reporting is fully functional and accurate.
The items outlined below represent areas where Curve does not currently expose certain data. These are limitations in data depth, not visibility, and they do not impact your ability to use PbN effectively.
What Works Today (At a Glance)
PbN + Curve fully supports:
Patient syncing
Appointments and scheduling visibility
Ledger and financial data (for reporting and KPIs)
Patient notes
Core reporting and analytics (Practice IQ, Revenue IQ)
Bottom line: You have complete visibility into practice performance and where to take action.
Current Limitations (and What They Mean for You)
Insurance Deductibles Not Available via API
Curve does not currently provide deductible data through their API.
What this means:
Deductibles will still be managed and viewed in Curve.
This does not impact financial reporting or KPIs in PbN.
Payment Method Details Not Included
Payment types (card, check, cash, etc.) are not included in ledger data.
What this means:
Total revenue and collections are still fully accurate in PbN.
You may reference Curve if you need payment-type breakdowns.
This is a granularity limitation, not a reporting limitation.
Scheduling Blocks & Provider Availability
Curve does not expose:
Scheduling blocks
Custom provider schedules
Availability overrides
What this means:
PbN reflects actual appointments and patient flow, which drive performance.
Some schedule nuances (like blocked time) may still be managed in Curve.
PbN tracks what actually happens on the schedule—the part that impacts KPIs.
Limited Incremental Sync Support
Incremental syncing is currently supported for:
Patients
Appointments
Ledger entries
Other data requires full syncs.
What this means:
Core reporting data remains up-to-date and reliable.
Some background processes may take slightly longer, but do not affect usability.
Documents & Recall Types Not Available
Curve does not currently provide access to:
Documents
Recall types
What this means:
Recall tracking in PbN still works using visit history and procedures.
Documents remain accessible in Curve.
This is a labeling limitation—not a visibility issue.
Clinical Data (Perio, Conditions)
Curve does not expose:
Periodontal (perio) data
Dental conditions (organization or patient-level)
What this means:
Deep clinical charting details are not available in PbN.
Hygiene production, SRP trends, and revenue insights remain fully visible and accurate.
You still have the signal—just not all the clinical depth yet.
Big Picture
Curve is a newer integration, and these limitations are expected at this stage.
What matters most:
Your KPIs and reporting are complete and accurate
Your team can fully use PbN to track performance and take action
Any gaps are primarily around deeper clinical detail or system-specific workflows
As Curve expands their API, additional data and functionality will continue to be added.
