Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

Allscripts (now known as Veradigm) is an EHR and practice management platform used by clinical, administrative, and billing teams across primary care. Users value exam templates and bulk refills but cite weak reporting and lab results reaching patients before clinician review. In January 2026, Allscripts launched a new AI application for revenue cycle insights for independent practices.

Our Verdict

Allscripts is a strong choice for organizations that want a connected system for care delivery and administration. Buyers tend to see the price as worthwhile for its practice management depth, though add-on charges and yearly increases can erode that value. We recommend it for growing multi-location groups and billing companies that need consistent access across sites.

“Accurate with flexible billing”

Pros

I like how accurate it is. Plus it allows me to send billing statements anytime during the month which feels far better than having to wait and only send them once a month.

Cons

Honestly I found it very difficult to get the hang of at first and once training wrapped up I barely get any follow-up help from the staff.

“It is a to-the-point software”

Pros

I have really enjoyed using the Allscripts platform. The platform is simple and easy to use. Even though it lacks extra features but it does what its supposed to do. Also it might feel a bit basic at times but if ease of use is what you are after, the simplicity actually becomes a plus.

Cons

Well it is hard to get in touch with support at times and the response times for service tickets can be a bit inconsistent which annoys me.
