Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

NextGen Enterprise is a comprehensive EHR and practice management solution tailored for ambulatory care. It supports clinical documentation, billing, and patient engagement. Users appreciate its customizable templates and integrated workflows, though some cite a steep learning curve. Recent developments include the release of NextGen® Navigator, an AI customer service agent designed to reduce burden on staff.

Our Verdict

NextGen Enterprise is a strong fit for mid-sized to large multispecialty practices needing a configurable, end-to-end system. It supports interoperability, regulatory compliance, and scalable workflows. While onboarding may require training investment, its pricing and architecture deliver long-term operational value. We recommend it for complex care teams.

“Claims reporting powerhouse”

Pros

One of the biggest strengths for us has been the reporting and the range of functionality it includes. The report center is especially powerful across all of our practices which makes it very useful. It's also really valuable to be able to submit claims, track them and auto-post payments all in one system. We rely a lot on the patient ledger and payment history to keep track of balances and that has been very helpful. I also appreciated how well they guided us through the process because the initial setup was much easier with that step-by-step support.

Cons

A few parts on the back end are still a bit tough especially some of the settings and the provider or practice setup. The Admin tab can feel overwhelming at first and it takes extra training to really understand where to begin. ERA enrollments have also changed over time which can make that area a little more confusing now and then. They use Waystar and once the training is in place it works well but there is definitely a learning curve.

“Practice management done right”

Pros

The biggest advantage of NGO is how well the EMR and Practice Management systems work together. It's also very user-friendly so getting started doesn't take a lot of training.

Cons

Not a con but a bit confusing since there's more than one way to complete the same task. I'd also appreciate more flexibility when it comes to customizing certain forms.

“Integration with downtime”

Pros

It is fairly easy to use. It has been effective in keeping both offices working within the same platform which helps us function as a fully integrated care model.

Cons

Biggest frustration has been the updates and system crashes especially since fixes do not come quickly. At this price, we expected it to perform more reliably. Support has been helpful overall but when the system goes down, no one seems to have clear answers or an immediate solution. We also gave the AI features a try but my providers felt they were not a good fit so we ended up discontinuing that service.
