TruCare vs CureMD: Keep Your EHR or Buy the Bundle

CureMD sells specialty EHR and practice management software along with billing and credentialing services. TruCare offers intake, billing, and credentialing on one platform that works with your current EHR. Both can do the work for you, so the difference is what you have to change.

How they differ

• Credentialing: Both offer it. CureMD lists CAQH, PECOS, Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial payers, and TruCred covers payer enrollment end to end.
• Pricing: CureMD says you pay only for what it collects but does not publish a percentage. TruCare publishes rates from 2.49% of collections.
• Proof points: CureMD says 96% of its claims are paid on first submission.
