HealOS vs iScribe
iScribe started inside orthopedic practices in 2015, and E&M Assist, its AI-assisted E&M coding, is reserved for orthopedic and urology practices on athenahealth or NextGen. The vendor claims 95% audited accuracy on that coding and calls itself an athenaOne Preferred Partner. It also supports Veradigm/Allscripts, Altera/Touchworks, Greenway and Epic. HealOS posts Core at $49 per month and Plus at $99, currency not stated, and runs agents for phones, benefits checks, prior authorization, faxes and billing alongside the scribe. HealOS puts the phones and the paperwork under one vendor for a primary care clinic. On athenahealth in an orthopedic group, HealOS is outmatched, since iScribe's E&M Assist targets that setting while HealOS describes ICD-10 and CPT codes inside the note. iScribe starts with a 14-day complimentary trial, and pricing is discussed as the MSA is drafted.
