Beam Health vs ScribeMD

ScribeMD names four EHRs on its homepage, Epic, Cerner, athenahealth and Veradigm, and claims 35+ integrations without stating depth. Beam Health names seven, Epic, Nextech, Canvas, Chartpath, Healthie, PointClickCare and athenahealth, and says it reaches any web-based EHR by working in the browser. ScribeMD gives an individual doctor a free plan, with its limits left unstated, and quotes groups, clinics and health systems per organization with a BAA and no visit limits. The free plan removes the contract question for one physician. For a five-physician group on athenahealth whose security review turns on SOC 2 scope, ScribeMD answers less clearly, because its badge does not say whether it covers the product or only its AWS hosting, and its pages call HIPAA handling both compliant and aligned. Beam Health shows a SOC 2 Type II badge without a report date and sells intake and revenue agents beside the scribe, a draw for a practice that would rather sign one platform contract.
