Why Buy AMS?

Cost

High costs have been a barrier to EHR adoption among small practices. A study by the American Academy of Family Practitioner’s Center for Health Information Technology shows that the average three-year cost for a traditional (non-ASP) integrated EHR and practice management system is $68,371 for a three-physician practice, or $7,600 per physician per year.

American Medical Software pricing is based on the number of simultaneous users (rather than the number of physicians) in a practice. For comparison, we will use the 3 year cost of our 10 user Practice Management ULTRA system including integrated Electronic Patient Charts, initial phone/web training and toll-free technical support/updates over three years. PM ULTRA 10 user license, Training, Support/Updates for initial 3 years is $20,956. That breaks out to an average cost of $2328 per physician per year based on a 3 physician practice.

As you can clearly see, the cost to implement our PM ULTRA is considerably less than the average shown in the survey. From our single user Electronic Patient Charts to our unlimited user Practice Management ULTRA, American Medical Software has the configuration that is appropriate for your practice and the
Best Value for any Medical Practice.
