AdvancedMD Alternatives for Medical Practices and Groups (2026)

By Hamza Rehman, MSN, RN · Founder and Chief Executive Officer, TruCare

Updated · 1 min read

AdvancedMD sells practice management and EHR software, with managed billing at a published 4% to 8% of collections. Practices look elsewhere when they want to keep their current EHR or need credentialing from the same vendor. AdvancedMD reports 65,000+ practitioners across 14,000 practices.

Why teams look for AdvancedMD alternatives

  • Software tie-in: Its managed billing runs on AdvancedMD's own platform.
  • No credentialing service: Credentialing is offered only through partner billing companies.
  • Combined cost: Software runs $429 to $1,070 per provider per month for medical specialties, before billing fees.

The best AdvancedMD alternatives

  1. TruCare: A revenue operating system that works with 20+ EHRs. It covers intake, billing, and credentialing, with published rates from 2.49% of collections.
  2. athenahealth: athenaOne with co-sourced billing and credentialing. Best for ambulatory groups ready to move to one system.
  3. Tebra: EHR, billing, and marketing software for practices that bill in house. Best for small practices that bill in house.
  4. CureMD: Specialty EHR with billing and credentialing services. Best for practices ready to switch EHRs.
  5. Office Ally: Low-cost clearinghouse and practice management software. Best for cost-conscious practices that bill themselves.

How to choose

Compare the full cost of software plus billing, not just the percentage. Ask whether the billing service requires you to move to its EHR, and who handles payer enrollment when you hire a new provider.

Questions to ask every vendor

  • Platform: Does the billing service require us to move to its software?
  • Credentialing: Who handles payer enrollment?
  • Total cost: What do software and billing cost together per provider?

The bottom line

AdvancedMD is a strong choice if you want new software with published pricing. If you want to keep your EHR, TruCare adds billing and credentialing without a platform change.
