Who ModMed is best for
ModMed (Modernizing Medicine) sells EMA, an EHR designed around specific specialties, along with practice management, patient engagement (Klara), payments, analytics, an AI scribe and BOOST, its outsourced revenue cycle service. It is not a primary care EHR.
Best for
- Single-specialty practices in dermatology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, ENT, plastic surgery, urology, podiatry, pain management, allergy or OB/GYN
- Practices that want to outsource billing to the same vendor that runs their EHR (BOOST)
Not ideal for
- Primary care, behavioral health or multi-specialty groups outside ModMed's 11 specialties
- Small budgets; it is priced well above entry-level cloud EHRs
- Practices wanting published, self-serve pricing
ModMed pros and cons
Pros
- Specialty-specific content, templates and workflows across 11 specialties
- EHR, practice management, patient messaging, payments, analytics and RCM services from one vendor
- BOOST offloads claims, A/R, denials, patient collections and patient billing calls
- ModMed Scribe adds AI-generated note content inside EMA
- ModMed says it ranked first in all 11 of its specialty EHR categories in the 2025 Black Book survey
Cons
- No published pricing, and quotes add implementation, training and add-on modules
- A broad suite of specialty templates and modules can take time for staff to learn
- BOOST and gBOOST performance figures (first-pass acceptance, denial rates) come from ModMed's own marketing
ModMed pricing
ModMed does not publish prices as of 2026. Subscriptions are typically quoted by provider count, with implementation, training and add-on modules on top. BOOST pricing is not published; ask for the percentage-of-collections rate, the collections base and any minimums. Request an itemized quote covering Scribe, Klara, ModMed Pay and data migration.

HIPAA, security and integrations
ModMed states that its EMA health IT module meets ONC certification criteria and was certified by an ONC-Authorized Certification Body, and it publishes technical documentation for its certified FHIR API. We did not find a SOC 2 or HITRUST attestation, hosting details or business associate agreement terms on ModMed's public pages, so ask for the BAA and security documentation during contracting. Most integration happens inside the ModMed suite (EMA, PM, Klara, Pay, BOOST); outside systems connect through the FHIR API or partner interfaces.
ModMed alternatives
