Curve PMS Integration: What to Expect & Current Limitations

Written by Alyssa Elso

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.
