Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
eClinicalWorks Prime
- EHR Only is $449/month per provider and EHR with Practice Management is $599/month per provider, priced per provider rather than a flat practice fee
- The RCM as a Service option charges 2.9% of practice collections rather than a fixed fee
- Practices with more than 9 providers are charged additional implementation fees beyond the included training
Lyra Health
- Covered sessions per member per year are set in the employer contract and vary widely between clients, so employees at two companies both using Lyra can receive very different benefits and the number is never published.
- When a member exhausts the employer funded session allowance, care transitions to the health plan network with its deductibles and copayments, or ends, and this handover is the most common source of employee dissatisfaction with the benefit.
- The per employee per month fee is charged across the whole eligible population regardless of use, so an employer with low utilisation pays for the entire workforce to serve a small fraction of it.
- Lyra costs materially more than a traditional employee assistance programme, and the business case depends on utilisation rising enough to justify the difference, which is not guaranteed by the contract.
- International coverage is real but uneven, and a multinational will find provider depth and language availability in secondary markets well below what is available in the United States, which undermines the single global standard the contract implies.
