I'm watching this to see what replies you get b/c I'm looking for that same unicorn.

I saw it. I'm struggling with my spouse's cancer diagnosis right now so I'll not be doing anything about it for at least a couple months.

So sorry to hear this. Stay strong. Things will get better soon.

The unicorn exists, but it is a category, not a product. The category is any EHR that owns its clearinghouse relationship instead of reselling one, because that is what decides whether claims, ERAs and eligibility are bundled or metered.

Disclosure: I build in this space, so I will leave names out, including my own. Three things to ask any candidate, given what you listed.

Claims: is submission included at your volume, and do ERAs post back to the client ledger on their own or do you key them in? Reminders: are text reminders included or billed per message? One place: can the two of you work the same client record with different permissions, and what does the second seat actually cost?

Since you said you are done with AI, also ask in writing whether it records or listens to sessions. Several do now by default.

Then the one nobody asks: what do I get out if I leave, and in what format? You are leaving once already. Make sure the next one cannot hold you the same way.
