NextGen Office review

NextGen Office is NextGen Healthcare's product for small independent practices, separate from its enterprise system for larger groups. It combines the EHR, practice management and billing on a cloud platform with an embedded patient portal, so scheduling, charting and claims share one patient record. NextGen says practices can save up to 2 hours per day on documentation with its integrated AI, and the NextGen Mobile app gives clinicians chart access away from the desk. The company sells credentialing, revenue cycle and consulting services alongside the software and markets content for more than 40 specialties, including cardiology, orthopedics and behavioral health, which is useful for specialists who find primary care templates thin. NextGen does not publish NextGen Office prices, and the page directs buyers to a demo or a special offer through sales. Practices planning to grow beyond 10 providers should ask how a move to NextGen Enterprise would work.
