Practice Fusion and Kareo Announce New Integrated Software

Kareo and Practice Fusion today announced their integrated solution for medical practitioners. Kareo, a provider of medical billing software for physicians and Practice Fusion, and EHR vendor, have teamed up.

"This is a ground-breaking health IT partnership that teams the easiest-to-use medical billing solution with the fastest-growing EHR – offering physicians a complete solution to the financial and clinical needs of their practice," said Dan Rodrigues, CEO of Kareo. "With web-based platforms and low cost of ownership from both Kareo and Practice Fusion, there is no other medical billing and EHR solution on the market that's as easy, affordable, and quick-to-setup."

Key Items:

• Practice Fusion's free, web-based EHR includes scheduling, charting, e-prescribing, secure messaging, document management and lab interfaces.
• Kareo's medical billing software is connected to every major payor in the US and includes electronic insurance billing, patient billing, accounts receivables management and analytics.
• Both Kareo and Practice Fusion's services are optional for customers and also available independently.

The Kareo/Practice Fusion integration is live for any doctor in the US starting today.  The combined solution is guaranteed to be HHS certified for federal EMR stimulus incentives under the economic stimulus plan.  How that is accomplished is unknown.
