I spoke at length with Nykki at Totalmd. She was very knowledgeable and assured me that the interface with AC would be seemless and smooth. I got interested because they advertised the software for $99! (Now THAT'S change I can believe in). Well after discussing it further, the $99 version really doesn't work if you want to bill insurances. Oh, you want to network some computers? Well it looks like you will need the 5 user license for your three computers.... Final estimate $2000 plus $600/yr for support. Unfortunately, support does not include the major upgrades which occur every 18 months. Those are priced at about 30% of the retail price. So, it may be a good software but it ain't cheap, so I too am going to look at some others.
I would really like to start my PM program at the same time as AC but I am nearly ready to fire up AC and I have no idea what to do about the PM program. I wish we could get a better sense from Jon when the AC PM program might be out. I can hold on with what I've got and just use paper superbills until then. Of course, that means double entry for the staff for any new patients. It also means a potentially precarious data migration down the road.
Greg,
Let's look at this together and see what can work out for us both and perhaps others who may be in our situation now or in the future. Should we divide and conquer? Only totalmd gives you the price on the website. The others that directly (allegedly) interface with AC make you call.
