I, too, was considering using Office Ally.

How much of a learning curve was it to switch?

I like that I can really type directly into AC and make a note that is a real SOAP note and not a bunch of check of lists.

How much cheaper is Office Ally? I kept AC to be able to do note in real time while on home visits but could still change my mind.

Thanks for sharing.

Elaine,

I am curious as to what rx issues you were having with AC?

Also, what did you switch to and are things better overall?

Thanks,

Sharon

I switched from AC because of the mod 25 issue and some rx issues. I use office ally for everything. It is works and is much cheaper

The problems with being reimbursed for E & M visits done at the sametime as preventive services must be state/region specific. While I'mnot billing Medicare yet (yes caught in application hell and givingaway care to a few patients), none of the private insurers (includingmedicaid managed care) have given me any problem about re paying forboth cpt codes (as long as I remember to add back in the -25 modifierthat unfortunately the Amazing Charts-EZ Claims import-export utilitycuts off). Preventive care is so underpaid compared to my E & M visitsthat adding on an E & M visit to the CPE makes an hour long CPE visitmuch more reasonable (well, guess that I could do it in less time, butfeels good to me and the patient to spend that much time on a goodhealth assessment and wellness plan).Take care,- Queenan, MDQueenan Family Medicine and Maternity Care"Mindful medicine for
