What do you offer?

We can also create an interface with your existing EHR, or consult with you on choosing the right EHR for you. Return to Top of Page

Do you offer medical billing services?

At PracticeAdmin we specialize in offering easy-to-use software. We love to work with medical billing companies, and therefore we do not offer billing services. We prefer to work with healthcare professionals, not against them. Return to Top of Page

How much does PracticeAdmin cost?

We grow with you, so your rates will be competitive based on your size, and the Practice Admin service you choose. It also will depend on the customization we use to interface with your EHR. You may also opt for our own printing and mailing service – this comes with a cost that more than pays for itself in time and resources saved. We receive payments on a month to month basis.
