CarePilot vs Knowtex
A VA ambient scribe contract with a shared ceiling of $775.72 million sits behind Knowtex, and its press release reports it live at 79 VA medical centers. It lists Epic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH and nine other EHRs, plus HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and FedRAMP. Pricing goes through a Request a Demo button, and Knowtex pitches the nation's largest health systems.
CarePilot is an athenaOne product that, per the vendor, sends diagnoses to the problem list, orders to the queue and charges to the encounter, sold per provider per month on a quote.
A small independent office sits outside Knowtex's pitch, and a VA medical center or an Epic system has little reason to price CarePilot. A group choosing on write-back depth finds it stated at CarePilot and left open at Knowtex, whose Athena listing gives no depth, which puts Knowtex second for that group.
