OpenEMR.net is an integrated project of practice management, electronic medical records, prescription ordering and management and soon to be completed billing features.
The $1,500 billing application is only that, a billing application for one provider. If you need to add additional providers, you need to pay additional fees. Want to send bills directly to a payer, not likely as these applications require clearinghouses or medical billing companies. Again, all this application is providing is billing, not practice management, EMR or prescriptions.
OpenEMR.net is designed to meet practice management, EMR, prescription and/or billing needs of a clinic. OpenEMR using FreeB will be able to submit bills directly to a payer, print bills, correct electronic submissions and communicate with clearinghouses or medical billing companies.
A fairer comparison of OpenEMR would be to applications such as NextGen, Medical Manager, Health Pro or MegaWest. NextGen's ASP version requires a $5,000 for setup and $595 per month per provider. In a six provider clinic with two locations the one time costs would likely be over $75,000 (migration costs of $70,000-$100,000 plus an ASP setup fee of $5,000) with ongoing costs of over $40,000 annually.
If a clinic is looking for only a billing application, that cannot be integrated with any other application then the $1,500 billing application may meet their needs. If the clinic needs a broader solution for practice management, EMR, prescriptions and billing, then OpenEMR.net or other open source applications may meet that need.
OpenEMR, one of the projects using FreeB for billing, provides practice management, electronic medical records and will soon provide direct billing and produce HCFA 1500 forms.
We are designing OpenEMR to be a replacement for applications such as Health Pro, Medical Manager and MegaWest. OpenEMR's practice management features include extensive patient demographics, ability to find the first available appointment for a provider, manage provider's by patient and multiple payers. For reporting we use phpMyAdmin, and clinics can create their own reports, or we can assist them with creating reports.
OpenEMR's electronic medical record features include creating encounters using on-line forms, prescribe drugs and save the drugs in the patients' history, and billing with ICD and CPT codes at the end of an encounter.
We have successfully submitted test data to Medi-Cal, and Medi-Cal has accepted that data as properly formatted. We have tied all of OpenEMR's fields to FreeB, and are now finalizing and testing OpenEMR for billing, and anticipate finishing these features in April 2004.
At OpenEMR.net we have videos showing OpenEMR's practice management and electronic medical record features.
