25 reviewers had the following to say about Practice Fusion's pricing:
They are in LA so you have no support until 11 am or 12 pm if you are in the midwest or east. Virtually no speaking support at all. Constantly cant get in and have to get a new password. Puts you way behind . You have a person that is suppose to let you in your account but may not be available. It is cheap but recently raised their rates by 50% without giving any added features. Patient portal is hard to access. The self scheduler is non existent . Patients have to remember a full website address to access. They do not help with the QPP constantly wanting you to redue depression screens and diabetic screens that you already did. So there health maintaince is horrible as is getting labs and investigations to the chart in the patients chart. Lots of extra time. Non existent IT
Pros
Cheap, although they just raised their prices by 50% with no added features.
Cons
No support, now Allscripts owns. They recently increased the monthly fee by 50% but not giving any new features. Templates are a joke. They are not coordinated with P aware or any state prescription service . Still they could not get the labs around me to put them in my charts. Its impossible to up load anything without a hassle. They keep raising the prices and offering less. My billers could never access and you cant talk to anyone they send you instructions in an email. I have to pay for 4 providers when I am only one. Multiple times its down and unusable. They were in trouble with FDA for trying to get providers to prescribe opiates for a kickback and now allscripts owns the company. The referral process is a joke. They only send the face sheet and you still have to fill out all the referral information. Everything is extra now.

It was much better as a free software- since they were purchased by Allscripts pharmaceutical adds pop up constantly and there is no way to get rid of them. Customer service used to be better, but again with Allscripts it is beyond terrible
Pros
low price,
not difficult to use
can upload own templates
Cons
Ads pop up all over and take up a good part of the screen.
Customer service is terrible- they never return calls or emails for support
Patient portal is marginal at best

Overall great system for the price. We chose to stay with them when it went from free to subscription because it was so user friendly and the cost affordable.
Pros
Super intuitive when you first set up Lots of templates available. Customer Service is great about helping
Cons
We never fully integrated with the practice management system recommended by Practice fusion at the practice managements suggestion that it would not work well, which was confusing.

It is a very good product for the price. It is hard to find an EHR that is this intuitive and well thought out for the price. I
Pros
Practice fusion is a great EHR for the price. The layout is for the most part intuitive. It functions well for compliance with national mandates. The price is low compared to the majority of other EHRs.
Cons
There are a lot areas where I wish I could click less. I have not found the template portion of the EHR very easy to use. I wish you could have dropdown menus and be able to tab through multiple choices for easy selection.

The only time I was able to speak to customer service was at the beginning. After I signed the year contract I was unable to get help setting up my e-prescribing. I was unable to use it for the entire year, while I was paying the monthly fee.
Pros
It's on of the cheaper products and they made it easy and friendly to sign the contract.
Cons
Poor customer support, unable to set up and use e-prescribe. First year is under contract, if you don't like it they will not cancel the prescription. After I signed the contract I was unable to speak to customer service.

Not worth it for the price, better off paying more for a company that cares, especially if you are in a small practice.
Pros
Cost is lower than others, used to be free. Can eRX controlled substances which is a bonus. Otherwise nothing great.
Cons
Cannot get tech support to call me for my life, get to talk to "triage techs" to then create tickets that are never answered, terrible patient portal system, horrible MIPS support, no personal attention for small practices.
Rating breakdown
Pros
There was a very low learning curve for the product. If you are familiar with Electronic Health Records, you can use this product. Pricing can't be beat (free)
Cons
Could use better reporting features for health centers such as Federally Qualified Health Centers.

Great value for the price. We are just starting to implement the patient portal and find it is another useful tool for some patients.
Pros
We love the price, as a small office (2 providers) our budget was limited and this was appealing. I knew other offices larger than ours that used it and they recommended it as well. There is a lot that Practice Fusion is capable of and I think we are only hitting the surface of how it can make our jobs easier. I really like how updox (faxing system) coordinates with Practice Fusion and we can upload what we need into the chart so easily.
Cons
I felt it was difficult to navigate Practice Fusion, but then when we started using it I was also setting up a private practice so that made things more difficult because I really didn't know what I needed as far as intake templates and how to set up my notes to make it quick and easy. After some tries I think we are doing pretty well. The only thing I wish was different (and maybe this can be done and I just don't know how) is that I could duplicate the previous note on a patient and then I can see in one glance what was discussed at our last appointment and then type the new note over the last note. I list their current medications and past medications at the top of the subjective section and so if this could be brought forward on each additional note then all I would need to do is make changes as the occur and not have to keep a "master" word document that I have to update and then copy and paste.

Practice Fusion has been cost effective. Initially it was free, and the price now is competitive. It works well for a small business.
Pros
The software is easy to install, and is updated frequently to meet new requirements.
Cons
It is difficult to make phone contact when there is an immediate need. In general though, once a “ticket” is created, someone does get back to you quickly.

Pros
Even with the paid subscription, it is cheaper than most EMRs. It will be nice to be able to subscribe controlled substances online with the new system.
Cons
Be aware that one subscription includes one physician and 3 staff they call secondaries. Any staff not listed as a secondary cannot sign scanned documents into the chart. This means if you have 4 staff members that need to be able to sign charts you have to purchase another entire subscription. They need an option to be able to purchase more secondary licenses by itself.

It was a good introduction to an EHR for a new and growing practice, when it was free. Now, at the new price point, it is not nearly the same value in comparison to it's competitors who offer integrated billing at the same cost, voice mail reminders, better product support instead of relying mostly on it's user-generated fourums, etc.
Pros
Little lag, reasonably cohesive interface, easy enough to use once you gett over the learning curve.
Cons
Poor support which relies on the Practice Fusion community of users to answer questions for each other, no voice mail reminders to patients, difficult to find correct documentation for MIPS and not notified when info changes.
When Practice Fusion was bought out this year, they sent an email to their customers, promising continued commitment to them; however, when they decided to change their structure to cost per Doc,, per month, including part-timers, there was no email notification, and no pop up on their site to let people know. I found the notice in an innocuous looking box on their dashboard, that was so plain looking I had missed it for two weeks. Apparently, they are giving their long-term customers only 3 months notice to pay full price for their subscription, or lose their functionality. That's not a lot of lead time to make a decision about an EHR or make a change, especially when they haven't even taken steps to inform most of their customer base. No ramp up, no grandfathering, no communication. No new features for paying for the same free product, and you still have to pay extra for integrated billing. At this price point, my group now has many more options for fully supported, versatile products. Sometimes the way that something is done, says a lot about how a company views their customers.

It's a relatively easy to use EHR, especially for practices who don't have a lot of complicated setup and need something affordable.
Pros
Our billing company recommended this product to several of our offices who needed EHR but couldn't invest thousands of dollars. This was a great option for them at the free level. Now it is a paid subscription. It's still a reasonably priced version, but needs some enhancements to compete.
Cons
Getting help was complicated--and getting enhancements implemented was also complicated. We had several clients ultimately abandon it when it became paid because they could get more features with other platforms.

Pros
It used to be free. Ability to make your own templates. The E prescribing was simple to use. Easy to enter lab orders and lab result integration was good.
Cons
From free to the whole amout annually paid in advance. The price increase has shut out many small solo practices. The cost is for one physician license +3 additional licensed employees. Wouldn't cost be much fairer if the cost was truly per user. I don't want to subsidize larger offices. Horrible customer service since late last year. The templates that are provided are a very low-quality including lots of misspelled words. New spaces for LGBTQ data but nothing for advance care planning and limited space to provide emergency contacts. Not very user-friendly for documenting geriatric patients. No structured section for preventative care with reminders when overdue. Immunization section was not updated routinely: new herpes zoster guidelines. Making a lab result flowsheet was terrible. Everything was à la cart: needed a separate clearinghouse for billing, needed to purchase up docs, etc. Hopefully they'll come up with a different pricing structure. Gone elsewhere for now. Might return if cheaper, charge people for using MIPS separately. Why should I have to pay for all the tech development of features that I don't use when basic items are missing?
Rating breakdown
Very good software for specialists, not helpful for family care, where g codes are needed, cpt codes
Pros
Cheap, really easy to use, synopsis page, no need to download a program, online base system, patient portal with direct communication ( which helps reducing tons of phone calls). Obviously basic Emr features like rx, labs, fax, referrals.
Cons
A lot of free typing, need for sections like hx surgeries, social hx, preventive with templates or justs clicks. Attachments can not be divided in categories. Addendums per sections not general.

From the beginning, Practice Fusion allowed our practice to fully switch to government mandated electronic medical records. And with that switch it allowed us to earn rewards from the government. As practice fusion has grown, we have grown with it. Although no longer free, it does offer a free 2 week trial period with out having to even put in a credit card number. I highly recommend you give it a try!
Pros
I was an early adopter when this software was offered free. For a small practice that was vital in getting us to switch to electronic medical records.
Cons
As crazy as it sounds, that fact that it was originally offered free made it seem like it was just Cheap That could not be further from the truth!

it was a nice switch after paper charting
Pros
I used to love PF, as it was free to use, and was easy to fax/ email chart notes to other providers. it has easily customization templates, and can integrate billing, and help you catch chart notes with no super bill submitted pretty easily
Cons
I do not like the new pricing structure. It is much more expensive than similar EHRs, and the interface is not as nice, or as easy to use across modalities.

Pros
Responsive, flexible, easy to use, updated regularly, built in referrals and responses by fax from within the program, Electronic RX built in, and many more features. The icing on the cake is that it's free! There are no servers to maintain or annual upgrade fees. Best of all, Meaningful Use tracking and compliance is all built in!
Cons
Billing isn't built into the software. It needs a separate add-on package. But it is rather seamless integration with several low cost packages.

Pros
Another basic system that is relatively easy to use and will get the job done. System is web based on a relatively stable platform. Low cost to consumer.
Cons
System appears to be lacking in various areas, and is likely best suited for specific kinds of behavioral health programs.
