Bert, you should check with my wife on that. :-)
I just noticed that AC has posted a press release with more info about the portal:
"Amazing Charts customers who are not currently using Updox can sign up for the Meaningful Use portal at no cost. Amazing Charts is making this feature available early to give practices a head start toward qualifying for Stage Two of Meaningful Use.
http://amazingcharts.com/company/pr...for-direct-messaging-and-patient-portal/Avery, since you're already an Updox customer the new offer doesn't apply. But as Updox customers the portal is free anyway. I am on version 6.6.1 as well and don't see any reason for now to upgrade.
