Switching from athenahealth

Looking for an athenahealth alternative?

OneTouch EMR gives independent practices and groups a physician-built EMR, an AI Suite, practice management with an integrated clearinghouse and optional billing services, all in one system and priced per provider. You keep sight of every claim, whether you bill in-house or let us do it.

Why practices switch

What we hear from practices ready to move

Practices that come to us from athenahealth most often talk about revenue: claims that stall, denials that pile up and collections that don’t match the work. Here’s how OneTouch answers.

Claims that stall

Track every claim in your own practice management system, with eligibility checks up front and denials worked in one place.

Help that’s hard to reach

Phone and email support, US-based during business hours with extended coverage after hours, and a dedicated account manager when we handle your billing.

Costs that are hard to follow

Software is priced per provider, with lower PM and billing rates for NPs and PAs. Billing services are a percentage of insurance collections, quoted for your practice.

Your revenue cycle

Billing you can see, or billing we handle

Bill it yourself: OneTouch practice management includes an integrated clearinghouse, eligibility checks, claim submission and denial management, so your team can see where every claim stands.

Or let us bill for you: our billing services team handles coding, claim submission, preventive claim review, follow-up, denials and appeals, insurance verification, patient billing and A/R reporting, with a dedicated account manager as your one point of contact.

Questions to ask your current vendor
  • How many of our claims are on hold right now, and why?
  • What percentage of our collections are we paying for billing?
  • How quickly are denials worked and resubmitted?
  • Who is our named contact when something goes wrong?
Your data

What comes over from athenaOne

athenaOne exports generally come over cleanly as standard CCDA files, so most transfers are straightforward. We import your patient records at no charge, typically in 5–7 business days, and review the results with you.

Open patient balances stay in your old system. Most practices keep access to it while they finish working existing A/R, as new visits bill from OneTouch.

Typically imported
  • Patient demographics
  • Medications and allergies
  • Immunizations and vitals

  • Attachments and documents, generally as PDFs in the chart
  • Appointments, in most cases
