Questions for Dr. Stern

About Your Urgent Care Center

84. A. We are interested in the EMR component. How much is it? B. Can we buy the EMR unit without the Practice Management unit? C. We are quite happy with our current billing system. Can it be integrated into your system?

Thanks for contacting Practice Velocity. With over 550 urgent care centers in 46 states, Practice Velocity now serves more urgent care centers for charting and coding than all other systems combined.
Our Guarantee: Practice Velocity will exceed your expectations with the:

  • fastest charting,
  • easiest implementation, and
  • most return on investment (usually over $10 increased revenue per patient).

Thirty-Day Trial: Try PiVoTs for charting and coding for 30-days. If we don’t deliver, simply stop using the product and you don’t pay a thing. No questions asked.

Answers to your questions:

A. Costs vary, based on how you purchase it.  As noted above, you get a 30-day trial to see for yourself if it does not pay for itself, usually practices make over 5x’s more profit than actual costs with our system.  Thus, the system is not an expense, as it actually makes you money.

B. Yes.

C. Depending on the system, varying levels of integration are available.  Generally, we do a one-way integration of your demographics to our system at no cost to you.
