ModMed Alternatives: What Specialty Practices Should Compare 

ModMed is a well-known name in specialties like ophthalmology, dermatology, and orthopedics. But name recognition isn’t the same as fit. Choosing an EHR isn’t really about whether a platform supports your specialty. It’s about how well that platform supports the entire practice, from clinical documentation through scheduling, billing, patient engagement, and reporting. A system that handles specialty documentation well…

MACRA MIPS Compliance for Ophthalmology: A Practice Guide

Ophthalmology practices see more patients per day than almost any other specialty. That volume is a strength for revenue and patient access, but it creates a specific problem under MACRA MIPS: how do you document enough to satisfy quality measures without slowing down an exam schedule built around speed. The…

MIPS Reporting Software: What to Look for in an EHR 

MIPS reporting has become increasingly data-driven. Practices can technically report manually or through third-party services, but most rely on their EHR to streamline quality reporting, reduce administrative burden, and protect reimbursement.  

Best Orthopedic EHR with Imaging Integration

Nearly every orthopedic visit involves imaging in some form. X-rays, MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and in some practices bone density imaging are part of routine care, not the exception. That means providers are constantly moving between documentation and diagnostic images throughout the day, and how efficiently that happens has a…

What is MIPS? The Complete Healthcare Guide to MIPS Reporting & Compliance 

Medicare has been shifting from paying for volume toward paying for value for quite some time, and MIPS is the program that puts that shift into practice. If you bill Medicare Part B and you’re not already tracking your MIPS score, it’s affecting your reimbursement whether you’re paying attention to it or not.  This guide covers what MIPS is, who has to participate, how…

What Are the Key Benefits of Using a Multi-Specialty EHR Platform? 

Physician organizations are expanding faster than ever, through acquisitions, new service lines, and integrated care models that bring multiple specialties under one roof. That growth creates opportunity, but it also creates complexity when every department is running on different software.  A multi-specialty EHR solves that problem by bringing every specialty…

How the Right Ophthalmology EHR Improves Billing, ASC, and Daily Workflows 

Most ophthalmology practices don’t struggle because they lack technology. They struggle because their technology doesn’t work together.  When documentation, billing, scheduling, imaging, and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) workflows live in separate systems, staff spend their day re-entering information, fixing mistakes, and chasing missing documentation instead of caring for patients.  A specialty-built ophthalmology EHR changes that.…

Which GI Software Improves Procedure Scheduling?

Scheduling in a gastroenterology practice is not like scheduling in primary care. A single day might include colonoscopies, EGDs, and clinic visits, each with different room, staff, and equipment needs. When the software doesn’t account for that complexity, the result is double-booked rooms, delayed procedures, and staff spending hours managing…

Why Generic EHRs Fail Eye Care Practices  

Optometry and ophthalmology depend on visual documentation, diagnostic imaging, and exam workflows that generic systems weren’t designed to support. A general EHR can technically run an eye care practice, but it usually forces providers into workarounds that slow down patient care and cut into profitability. 

Credentialing FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Credentialing and payer enrollment can be confusing, especially with rules that shift from one insurance company to the next. This FAQ answers the questions we hear most often from practices, covering how credentialing works, how long it takes, what’s needed to get started, and what can slow the process down.…
