NueMD (discontinued) vs. Practice Fusion

Once the initial transition was complete, the software has been easy to work with and efficient. Payments are coming in quickly and we can identify errors in billing before submission making the process smooth.

The best scenario is a small non-profit clinic who needs a great EMR but cannot afford one like EPIC. I might also recommend this to colleagues who are starting a small business because I think PF would be a good, easy, and more affordable to get up and running. I think this EMR makes less sense in the setting of large academic institutions who need lots of easily manipulable data and a huge amount of support.

In my opinion and experience, they have a lack of customization so you have to constantly create hacks to make their system work for your practice.

We always get a return call within the time stated. There are many available topics on the forum and it is often easy to find the issue you are seeking more information on. When we have tried the live chat feature we have been satisfied with the timeliness and response.

Overall NUEMD is easy to use self explanatory and realtime helps alot when were are busy checking in patients, it gives you messages letting you know when something isnt right and that makes the claim we send out to the ins company cleaner to the return on payments from the ins co is better

NextGen is hard to use as far as medical records. Practice Fusion is user friendly. There is a great knowledge base for questions asked. Practice Fusion takes all the guess work out of the day.
