Home Forums Thread Like Summary - Replace Updox?

Wonder if AC is looking at another portal provider or if there is another portal option.

I just received a notice my Updox fee has gone up by 200%! Not happy, but to add insult I have been after them for YEARS to fix the processing of special characters. Currently when we write a portal message using as an example don't - it saves the message in the patients file as don^&%t. Makes us look so unprofessional and they want more money? Combining their fees and AC fees brings it into territory that it makes sense to reshop our entire EHR/portal system since there are so many out there with features that at least match if not exceed the current configuration. I can see a price increase of 125% but to more than double it in one year? That is when principles step in considering their complete lack of fixing a simple issue like special character handling. Open to any suggestions. Wonder if others have been hit with the Updox fee increase.

I do not use UpDox. I never have used them and hate that the patient portal is linked to them.

I use a Brother MFC machine currently on a MFC-L5850DW. We have had 4 Brother machines in the past almost 20 years. This current one is almost 4 years old. I use it for faxes in and out and have a couple of scanners for stuff that comes in through the mail. There are other posts on the board about using the Brother machines in place of UpDox. I think the best post goes back several years and was posted by Leslie.

For that price I could buy a new machine every month.

just my 2 cents
