Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Kareo Clinical

  • Kareo is now part of Tebra and sold under the Tebra brand rather than as a standalone product
  • Tebra publishes no rate: pricing varies with provider count, features and implementation requirements and is quoted during a demo
  • Billing counts clinical providers such as MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs, so adding a prescriber raises the bill even though non clinical staff are free
  • Electronic prescribing of controlled substances setup costs about $75 per provider as a one time fee
  • PDMP integration costs $500 one time per facility plus about $50 per user per year

Software of Excellence

  • No price is published for EXACT or any Software of Excellence product; the site carries no rate card and routes enquiries to the vendor
  • The company now operates under Henry Schein One, with the site copyright and contact email pointing to Henry Schein One rather than Software of Excellence
  • Cloud access, patient portal and marketing capability come from separate products such as MyPractice Cloud, Patient Portal and Campaign+ rather than being part of the core system
  • The original softwareofexcellence.co.uk domain now redirects to softwareofexcellence.com
