Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 4 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software we grade
Practice Fusion is a cloud-based electronic health record for independent medical practices, owned by Veradigm. It covers charting templates, e-prescribing, lab and imaging orders, scheduling and reporting, and can be paired with a billing service. It is a general medical EHR rather than a therapy-specific one.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Practice Fusion, taken from its own pages and our grades.
An EHR takes setting up templates, orders and prescribing.

To replace Practice Fusion you would be making insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for independent medical practices needing a cloud EHR
Practice Fusion is a cloud electronic health record for independent medical practices, with charting, e-prescribing, lab orders and scheduling. It is $199 per provider a month on an annual commitment, and it is a general medical record rather than a therapy tool.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | $199 per provider a month, against a dearest-tenth line of $95 for therapy clinic tools, and an annual commitment on top. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 14-day free trial with no card, and no free plan. |
| Features | C | Charting, e-prescribing, labs, imaging and reports. The pages mention no therapy features such as telehealth or a client portal, and billing is a separate service. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. An EHR takes setting up templates, orders and prescribing. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only, with no integrations on record. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Practice Fusion is for
- Fits if you are a doctor in a small practice that needs e-prescribing
- Makes sense if three signing staff per provider is enough for you
Who it is not for
- Pricey if you are a solo therapist, at $199 per provider
- Skip it if you want therapy tools, since the pages mention no client portal or telehealth
- Tight if you need billing, as billing services are separate with no price
- Watch out: billed monthly but with a required annual commitment
Good to know
Good for
- Independent medical practices that need an EHR with e-prescribing
- Practices that want billing handled by the vendor's team
- Offices with many non-clinical staff, since non-signing users are unlimited
Worth knowing
- The $199 price carries a required annual commitment, even though it is billed monthly.
- Billing services are a separate offering with no published price.
- It is built for medical practices; the pages read do not mention therapy-specific features such as telehealth sessions or client portals.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Practice Fusion you would be making insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 30 of the 38 other therapy and clinic software grade higher. It costs $2,388 a year.
What you could make
- Clinical notes, templates and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Insurance claims sent to payers through a clearinghouse.
What this rests on. Practice Fusion’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
