   Definitive Healthcare, Top 10 ambulatory EHR vendors (2025): “2 eClinicalWorks 9,966 11.9%”

   eClinicalWorks is the only large ambulatory vendor here that prints a billing price. Its EHR with Practice Management plan costs $599 per provider per month and adds practice management and billing implementation services to a package that already covers the EHR, patient portal, document and referral management, reporting, cloud hosting, disaster recovery and 24x7 support. There are no start-up costs, data migration from another EHR is free, and initial training is included for practices with one to nine providers. Practices that later want to stop working claims themselves can switch to RCM as a Service at 2.9% of collections, which covers claim creation, denial management and appeals. Definitive Healthcare ranks eClinicalWorks second among ambulatory EHR vendors with 11.9% of installs, and the company reports more than 850,000 users. The costs to watch are per-statement and per-message fees, and extra implementation charges once a practice passes nine providers.

   Strengths

   • +Published $599 per provider price with no start-up costs
   • +Initial training included for practices with 1 to 9 providers
   • +Second largest share of U.S. ambulatory EHR installs in Definitive Healthcare data

   Limitations

   • −Highest published billing price on this list
   • −Additional implementation fees for practices with more than nine providers
   • −Patient statements and eClinicalMessenger transactions are charged per use

   SummaryeClinicalWorks is the best choice for practices that bill in-house and want a mainstream system with a public price, because its $599 per provider plan bundles EHR, practice management and billing setup with no start-up costs. Larger groups should budget for implementation fees above nine providers.

   RXNT

   Cloud practice management, billing and EHR software sold as a-la-carte bundles with published per-provider prices.

   8.3overall

   Cloud practice management, billing and EHR software sold as a-la-carte bundles with published per-provider prices.

   Best forSmall practices that want billing software at a published low price

   Adoption data

   $10 billionRXNT reports that more than $10 billion in claims have been processed through its software, a vendor-reported figure; it does not publish a practice count.

   RXNT, About Us (2026): “$10 B CLAIMS PROCESSED”

   RXNT sells its software as bundles with prices on the page, which makes it easy to compare for a practice that mostly needs claims. The PM Bundle costs $213 per provider per month on an annual contract billed monthly and includes medical billing, practice scheduling and the mobile apps, with unlimited claims. The billing module lists claims, ERA, eligibility, secondary claims, automated claims and a clearinghouse. Practices that also want charting can move to the Full Suite at $335 per provider per month, which includes every RXNT product. Paying yearly takes off 10%. Onboarding, training and support are included. Add-ons are priced openly too: printed statements are $0.90 each and paper claims $0.40 each. RXNT has been in business since 1999 and reports $10 billion in claims processed, but it does not appear in Definitive Healthcare's top ambulatory vendors, so its adoption score is lower than the large suites.

   Strengths

   • +Lowest published per-provider price for a billing-focused bundle on this list
   • +Unlimited claims in the bundle price
   • +In business since 1999

   Limitations

   • −Annual contract required for the listed monthly price
   • −Printed statements cost $0.90 each and paper claims $0.40 each as add-ons
   • −No independent market share figure; adoption data is vendor-reported

   SummaryRXNT is the best choice for small practices that want a billing system at a published low price, because its PM Bundle includes unlimited claims for $213 per provider per month. Expect an annual contract.

   Tebra

   Practice platform for independent practices that combines medical billing, EHR, patient payments and practice growth tools.

   8.3overall

   Practice platform for independent practices that combines medical billing, EHR, patient payments and practice growth tools.

   Best forIndependent practices with several billers and front desk staff

   Adoption data

   150,000Tebra says on its website that it is trusted by 150,000 providers, a vendor-reported figure that covers its billing, EHR and patient experience products.

   Tebra, Tebra homepage (2026): “Trusted by 150,000 providers”

   Tebra, formed from Kareo and PatientPop, sells billing, charting, patient payments and marketing tools on one platform for independent practices. Its billing side covers electronic claims submission, eligibility checks, rejections and denials, and patient statements, with online pay and card-on-file collection. The licensing rule is the main reason to shortlist it for in-house billing: Tebra charges per provider and lets front desk staff, medical assistants, billers and office admins use scheduling, charting and claims at no extra cost. It also offers a lower tier for providers who bill 100 claims or less per month, which suits part-time clinicians. The drawback is price transparency. Tebra publishes no list price and says pricing varies by provider type, specialty workflows and claim volume, so practices must request a quote. Tebra reports that 150,000 providers use its products.

   Strengths

   • +Billers, medical assistants and front desk staff do not need paid seats
   • +Claims, denials and payment posting run in one system
   • +Large vendor-reported base of 150,000 providers

   Limitations

   • −No published price; every practice needs a quote
   • −Price depends on specialty workflows and claim volume, which makes comparison harder
   • −Pricing scales with claim volume, so a growing practice should expect its quote to change

   SummaryTebra is the best choice for practices with large billing and front desk teams, because non-clinical staff use the system at no extra cost. Get a written quote that lists statement and EPCS fees.

   Best forPractices that want billing software backed by a vendor billing team

   Adoption data

   6.9%Definitive Healthcare counted 5,801 athenahealth ambulatory EHR installs in the U.S., 6.9% of the market and third among vendors.

   Definitive Healthcare, Top 10 ambulatory EHR vendors (2025): “3 athenahealth 5,801 6.9%”

   athenaOne combines an EHR, medical billing and practice management, and patient engagement in one product, and it adds people to the software. athenahealth says its rules engine and billing experts catch claim errors before submission, certified coders can take over coding, and an authorization engine plus specialist team handles prior authorizations. The company reports a 98.4% clean claim submission rate and 277K+ direct clinical integrations with labs, pharmacies and other partners. Definitive Healthcare places athenahealth third among U.S. ambulatory EHR vendors with 6.9% of installs, and athenahealth says it was ranked Best in KLAS 2026 for Overall Independent Physician Practice Suite. For a practice whose billers want to work every claim themselves, part of that service layer may go unused. athenahealth does not publish a price, so cost comparisons require a demo, and the page could not be checked for a USD list price.

   Strengths

   • +Billing software and athenahealth billing staff on one platform
   • +Third largest share of U.S. ambulatory EHR installs in Definitive Healthcare data
   • +Named Best in KLAS 2026 for Overall Independent Physician Practice Suite, according to athenahealth

   Limitations

   • −No published price; requires a demo and quote
   • −Practices that want full control of every claim may not need the service layer
   • −The 98.4% clean claim rate is a vendor figure

   SummaryathenaOne is the best choice for practices that bill in-house today but want vendor billing experts on hand, because its rules engine, coders and authorization team work inside the same system. Ask for pricing in writing, since none is published.

   AdvancedMD

   Cloud medical billing, practice management and EHR software for private practices and the billing companies that serve them.

   8.0overall

   Cloud medical billing, practice management and EHR software for private practices and the billing companies that serve them.

   Best forPrivate practices that may work with an outside billing company

   Adoption data

   13,000AdvancedMD says it provides medical office software to 13,000 private practices and 850 medical billing companies, a vendor-reported figure.

   AdvancedMD, AdvancedMD homepage (2026): “AdvancedMD, headquartered in South Jordan, Utah, employs 650 people, and provides medical office software to 13,000 private practices and 850 medical billing companies.”

   AdvancedMD has focused on billing for private practices since the mid 1990s, and the product reflects that. Its billing side includes claims management, eEligibility and its own medical billing clearinghouse, and the company offers a free annual analysis of how a practice uses the software. AdvancedMD also gives practices a way out of in-house billing without switching systems: they can use the internal RCM team, in which case the software is included free, or be matched with one of 800+ independent billing companies. The company says it serves 13,000 private practices and 850 medical billing companies, which makes it a common system among outside billers. Open database connectivity gives direct read-only access to practice data for custom reports. AdvancedMD does not publish prices, and no USD list price could be confirmed on its site.

   Strengths

   • +Built around billing since the mid 1990s, according to the company
   • +Used by 850 medical billing companies, so outside billers often know it
   • +Read-only database access for custom reporting

   Limitations

   • −No published price
   • −Adoption figure is vendor-reported
   • −Many modules to choose from, which lengthens the quote process

   SummaryAdvancedMD is the best choice for practices that bill in-house now but may hand claims to a billing company later, because 850 billing companies already use it. Ask for a quote that separates software from RCM fees.

   CollaborateMD

   Cloud medical billing and practice management software with a built-in clearinghouse that the vendor owns.

   7.9overall

   Cloud medical billing and practice management software with a built-in clearinghouse that the vendor owns.

   Best forPractices that keep their EHR and want separate billing software

   CollaborateMD, now part of EverHealth, is a billing-first system rather than an EHR with billing attached. It owns its clearinghouse, so claim submission, ERA retrieval and clearinghouse edits happen inside the product without third-party clearinghouse fees. The Core plan includes unlimited ERA with auto posting and unlimited real-time eligibility; Optimize adds Level 2 claim edits and claim follow-up; Pro adds eClaim attachments, a patient responsibility estimator and intake forms. The company reports a 97% clean-claim rate and serves practices across 100+ specialties. Because it connects to existing EHRs through standard and custom HL7 interfaces, with preferred partner interfaces free, it suits practices that like their charting system but want stronger billing. CollaborateMD says plans typically start around $299 per provider per month, which is a starting estimate rather than a fixed list price, and lab interfaces cost $2,500 each.

   Strengths

   • +Works next to an existing EHR through HL7 interfaces
   • +No third-party clearinghouse fees because the vendor owns the clearinghouse
   • +Unlimited users

   Limitations

   • −The $299 figure is a typical starting rate, not a fixed list price
   • −Lab interfaces cost $2,500 each
   • −No published practice or provider count

   SummaryCollaborateMD is the best choice for practices that want to keep their EHR and add dedicated billing software, because its own clearinghouse handles claims and ERAs without third-party fees. Confirm the exact per-provider rate in a quote.

   CharmHealth

   Cloud EHR, practice management and medical billing suite with a free edition and encounter-based pricing.

   7.6overall

   Cloud EHR, practice management and medical billing suite with a free edition and encounter-based pricing.

   Best forLow-volume and new practices on a tight budget

   CharmHealth is the cheapest way on this list to run billing in-house with published prices. Its suite covers practice management, EHR, billing and revenue cycle management, and it runs weekly sessions on billing and on submitting eClaims. Practices with fewer than 50 encounters a month can use the free edition and add paid add-ons; above that, the Encounter Plan charges per encounter with a $25 monthly minimum, regardless of how many providers are enrolled. Busy practices can switch to the Provider Plan at $200 per provider per month, or pay $1,000 plus $0.30 per consult past 2,000 consults on the encounter model. Telehealth and EPCS are priced openly at $20 per provider per month and $250 per provider per year. Charges are billed after each month of use, and account data stays available for two months after cancellation. CharmHealth does not publish a customer count, so its adoption score is conservative.

   Strengths

   • +Permanent free edition with paid add-ons available
   • +Lowest published entry price on this list
   • +Month-to-month use with cancellation by email before the invoice date

   Limitations

   • −Free edition has a limited feature set
   • −Non-physician providers cost $200 per month on the Provider Plan
   • −No published customer count

   SummaryCharmHealth is the best choice for new and low-volume practices, because its free edition covers fewer than 50 encounters a month and paid use starts at a $25 monthly minimum. Busy multi-provider clinics should price the $200 Provider Plan instead.

   NextGen Office

   NextGen Healthcare's cloud EHR, practice management and billing product for independent practices with fewer than 10 providers.

   7.6overall

   NextGen Healthcare's cloud EHR, practice management and billing product for independent practices with fewer than 10 providers.

   Best forIndependent practices with fewer than 10 providers

   Adoption data

   4.2%Definitive Healthcare counted 3,510 NextGen Healthcare ambulatory EHR installs in the U.S., 4.2% of the market; the figure covers all NextGen EHR products, not only NextGen Office.

   Definitive Healthcare, Top 10 ambulatory EHR vendors (2025): “5 NextGen Healthcare 3,510 4.2%”

   NextGen Office is the small-practice product from NextGen Healthcare, aimed at independent practices with fewer than 10 providers. It bundles an ONC-certified EHR, practice management and billing with an embedded patient portal on a cloud platform. For in-house billers it offers real-time eligibility checks and billing and reporting tools meant to reduce rejections, denials and overlooked claims, and practices can add NextGen's RCM services if they want help with A/R. NextGen says it adds no hidden charges for the training or support a practice needs to get running. Its Clinical AI turns patient conversations into SOAP notes inside the EHR. Definitive Healthcare counts NextGen Healthcare at 4.2% of U.S. ambulatory EHR installs, though that covers all NextGen products. NextGen does not publish NextGen Office prices, so a quote is needed and the row carries no list price.

   Strengths

   • +Built specifically for practices under 10 providers
   • +Backed by a vendor with 4.2% of U.S. ambulatory EHR installs
   • +Clinical AI turns visit conversations into SOAP notes

   Limitations

   • −No published price
   • −The market share figure covers all NextGen products, not only NextGen Office
   • −Larger groups are directed to NextGen Enterprise instead

   SummaryNextGen Office is the best choice for practices under 10 providers that want billing from an established ambulatory vendor, because the product is sized and packaged for that group. Ask for a quote with RCM services priced separately.

   Practice EHR

   Cloud EHR and practice management software with published per-provider plans that include claim submission.

   7.6overall

   Cloud EHR and practice management software with published per-provider plans that include claim submission.

   Best forPractices that want a published price on an EHR and billing bundle

   Practice EHR publishes prices for each of its plans, which lets a practice see exactly what billing adds. EHR only starts at $229 per provider per month, while the EHR + PM Essential plan at $349 adds practice management with claim submission and denial management on top of charting, e-prescribing, scheduling, telehealth and the patient portal. The Pro tier at $499 adds an AI claim editor, AI coding and AI denial management, and separate RCM plans add a dedicated RCM manager, coding and credentialing. Every plan includes unlimited patients, online payments and appointment reminders, and onboarding, training and data migration help are free. Practices can pay monthly or annually by card or ACH. Practice EHR supports 23+ specialties but publishes no specific customer count, only that thousands of clinics use it, so it scores lower on adoption than the larger vendors.

   Strengths

   • +Published per-provider prices for both EHR-only and EHR plus billing
   • +Monthly and annual billing options
   • +Free onboarding, training and migration assistance

   Limitations

   • −AI claim editing requires the $499 Pro plan
   • −No published customer count beyond thousands
   • −RCM plan prices are not shown

   SummaryPractice EHR is the best choice for practices that want charting and claims in one published-price bundle, because EHR + PM Essential costs $349 per provider per month with claim submission included. Choose Pro only if AI claim editing is worth $150 more per provider.

    7.3overall

    Cloud medical billing, practice management and EHR software paired with RCM services and AI tools.

    Adoption data

    40,000+CareCloud says on its homepage that it is trusted by more than 40,000 healthcare providers, a vendor-reported figure.

    CareCloud, CareCloud homepage (2026): “Trusted by 40,000+ Healthcare Providers”

    CareCloud sells medical billing software alongside practice management, an EHR and revenue cycle management services. The billing product keeps claims in a central repository, submits them through an integrated clearinghouse, flags denied or unresponsive claims, posts ERAs directly to patient accounts and records payments from multiple claims in one step. Eligibility verification is built in, and billing for every provider and location runs from one interface, which suits groups with several offices. CareCloud also offers AI products such as cirrusAI Notes for documentation and the stratusAI Desk Agent for front desk calls, and an RCM team for practices that want to hand off collections. The company says it is trusted by more than 40,000 healthcare providers. Its pricing page no longer loads and no USD price is published elsewhere on the site, so the value score assumes a quote-based price and the row carries no list price.

    Strengths

    • +Handles multiple providers and locations from one screen
    • +RCM services available from the same vendor
    • +Vendor-reported base of 40,000+ providers

    Limitations

    • −No published price; the old pricing page no longer loads
    • −Adoption figure is vendor-reported
    • −AI tools such as cirrusAI Notes and stratusAI Desk Agent are separate products to price

    SummaryCareCloud is the best choice for multi-location practices that want billing software and RCM services from one vendor, because it manages billing for every provider and location in a single interface. Get pricing for software and services separately.
