Abridge vs Comprehend Health

Comprehend Health, which also goes by Comprehend PT, writes notes for physical, occupational and speech therapists and reaches web-based EMRs through a browser extension. WebPT, Prompt, Jane and Clinicient are among the logos on its site. The Scribe tier shows $99 with no billing period on the page, or $949 billed yearly, and comes with a 7-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Abridge posts no price and writes inside Epic, from Haiku to Hyperdrive. Its Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2, and a standard BAA is offered. A WebPT-based therapy clinic and an Epic health system are different customers. The clinic gets a posted price and a trial. Comprehend states SOC 2 Type II, and Abridge's Trust Center adds a standard BAA to its SOC 2 reports. Comprehend is a therapist scribe, which rules it out for a hospital physician group.
