Where each one falls short

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

Kareo

  • 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

tab32

  • The $125 a month Alpine start up rate applies to year one only and rises to $225 a month from year two
  • The entry tier covers up to 3 providers and the established tier up to 5, so larger practices move up
  • Claims and eligibility work are billed per transaction: $0.20 per claim, $0.50 per attachment and $1.25 per eligibility check
  • Patient engagement features such as texting, reminders and online booking are paid add ons
  • Summit, the tier for groups and DSOs, is custom priced with no published rate
