CarePilot vs MedScrub
Around the visit, on the chart, is where MedScrub operates. Its pages describe overnight summaries, trended labs, flagged open plans, pre-visit prep and chart chat, run on the clinician's own machine, and the vendor states it strips the 18 HIPAA Safe Harbor identifiers before a model sees the data. CarePilot works inside the visit, filling SOAP fields live and putting suggested CPT codes and drafted orders into athenaOne.
A 6-provider practice that wants open plans from prior visits checked buys MedScrub. Its Practice tier is $89 per provider per month billed annually and Solo is $99 per month, currency not stated, and 501(c)(3) healthcare nonprofits with a determination letter get a free tier. A practice that wants the encounter documented live buys CarePilot, quoted per provider monthly.
No buyer sets the two side by side, since MedScrub's pages describe chart summarization and pre-visit prep, not visit documentation.
