Very sensible topic (money). Here are some thoughts.
I love AC, I like upgrades, I will definately love PM module and compliance with Government Meaninful Use (you never know, maybe we could get something) but like any other business person, I don't like price increments.
The price is going up, not a bit, it is going up double and basically for Angel Guardian Support (updades, upgrades, eRx and IT support.)
As a 5 year user, I have witnessed the development of this great EMR. AC is so great and stable system that we have used Tech support in very few instances. I have to say, like most of you know that IT support is 5 stars. However, most of the answers for simple, and sometimes not so simple questions I have found them here in the forum.
I have never been a fan of the per provider charge (not for the licence, not for support) However, I am not an expert on marketing or have an idea of the operating costs of AC.
I do feel that the price for the license is still good around $2000/provider. Discounts considerations should be given for multiple providers.
About Angel Guardian, I think that eRx and IT support are 2 different services and should be charged separate. eRx charge / doctor and IT support (everything else) / practice maybe with a formula as explained by Eric B.
One question. Where there be discount considerations if we keep a Credit card automatic payment? Like the one is currently in effect?
I don't post too frecuent, so allow me: Thank John for a Great Software which keeps on improving with time !
