Abridge vs HealOS
HealOS sells six agents, and the scribe is one. A receptionist, benefits verification, prior authorization, fax and referral handling and billing sit beside it. On the AI Medical Scribe tab, Core is $49 per month with a Chrome extension, and Plus is $99 per month with note transfer to select EHRs that the page does not name. HealOS states HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II and a BAA with every customer, and its 98% accuracy figure is the vendor's own. Abridge was the first Epic Pal partner, in August 2023, and its product list runs to clinician, revenue cycle and nursing offerings for enterprises. An Epic health system weighing HealOS meets a Plus tier whose EHR list stays unnamed. For a six-physician practice, Abridge is out of the running: it sells to enterprises only, while HealOS posts $49 and $99 monthly.
