Augmedix vs Beam Health
Beam Health says go-live takes 2 to 3 weeks and sells the scribe as one module of a practice-operations platform. Intake adds eligibility checks, Revenue adds CPT and ICD-10 coding and claim scrubbing, and Support and Growth round it out, run alone or together. Beam names Epic, Nextech, Canvas, Chartpath, Healthie, PointClickCare and athenahealth, and shows SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA badges. Pricing is a per-user monthly subscription with no public figure and a typical six-month first term. A practice that wants to test it first gets no standard trial, only pilots on request.
Augmedix publishes no price and sells by quote. For a six-clinician independent practice that wants notes, front-desk intake and billing from one vendor inside three weeks, Augmedix loses: Beam names all three modules and the go-live window, while Augmedix offers ambient documentation.
A hospital-owned clinic network on Meditech that wants people writing its notes has a reason to ask Augmedix for that quote.
