Amazing Charts price is going up. The new pricing model will effect practices with more than 1 provider and will go into effect July 1, 2009.
- New Licensing Price: $995 for each provider. (Currently it $995 for the first provider plus $200 each additional provider.)
- New Guardian Angel Support/Maintenance: $500/year for each provider.(Currently our price is $500 for the first provider plus $100 each additional provider.)
As a courtesy, any of our existing users prior to the price increase, can "lock in" their current pricing for as long as their credit card can be automatically rebilled (see our
EULA Paragraph #4, Cost for a discussion on how this works).
Thus, we recommend the following two steps for those looking to get the lowest price for the longest time: 1. Update your license to include all the providers who work in your practice (since they will cost only $200 each now, but $995 each after July 1st).
2. Purchase maintenance/support for the practice (since it will cost only $100/year for each additional provider now, compared to $500/year for each one after July 1st).
The reason we are implementing this price increase is to make our pricing more equitable based on our experiences supporting practices with > 1 provider (see details
here) while also providing needed resources for all our upcoming improvements, including:
- Becoming CCHIT certified - we've applied (and paid 43K to do so) and our upcoming V5 (due out this summer) has been officially certified! Click here for info on this. CCHIT certification was needed as some third party insurers and malpractice insurance provide signficant benefits if using a CCHIT certified product.
- Ensure we can add ANY and ALL required features to meet the government's requirement for "meaningful use" of a "certified EHR" - both terms have yet to be defined by the government - which provides our users some of the stimulus (ARRA) money. Specifically, up to $44,000, or up to 75% of your Medicare billings - whatever is less.
- Complete our Practice Management module.
- Begin our Practice & Patient Services portal (discussed on our website).
- Improve the speed with which we can add user-requested interfaces and features.
Based on your experience with Amazing Charts, and the pricing of our competitors, we want to know your thoughts on how much Amazing Charts should cost, and if you feel our new pricing is fair and justifiable. We would also like to know if you've received price quotes from other vendors, and how much they wanted to charge you.
Thanks!
