Augmedix vs iScribe
iScribe started inside orthopedic practices in 2015 and still centers on them. Its E&M Assist recommends E&M codes, with a vendor-claimed 95% audited accuracy, and is reserved for orthopedic and urology practices on athenahealth or NextGen. The company is an athenaOne Preferred Partner, supports Epic, Veradigm, Altera and Greenway, and sells through a 14-day trial followed by an MSA with no public price. An orthopedic group on NextGen that wants code recommendations with its notes starts here.
An orthopedic group on eClinicalWorks is where iScribe loses. It names athenahealth, NextGen, Epic, Veradigm, Altera and Greenway, and E&M Assist is limited to athenahealth and NextGen.
Augmedix sells by quote and names eClinicalWorks among its seven EHRs, so that group can ask it for a price. The vendor says it documents ambulatory and acute visits across dozens of specialties.
