Switching to Copergrine
Is Copergrine a good Epic alternative for a small or mid-size practice?+
Yes. Epic is built for large hospital systems and is priced and implemented accordingly. Copergrine Tele & Health Systems gives an independent practice, urgent care, or clinic the same core capabilities — charting, e-prescribing, scheduling, telehealth and in-person visits, claims, an AI scribe, and an evidence-based Clinical Library — on one platform, live in days, for a fraction of the per-provider cost.
How does Copergrine compare to athenahealth?+
athenahealth typically bills the EMR plus a percentage of collections and sells the AI scribe and clinical content separately. Copergrine includes the scribe, the evidence-based Clinical Library, telehealth, and the full revenue cycle in one per-provider price — with no percentage-of-collections claims fee.
What does Copergrine include that legacy EMRs charge extra for?+
The AI clinical scribe, the evidence-based Clinical Library (society-guideline treatment plans), telehealth video, the patient portal, e-prescribing, and the claims clearinghouse and revenue cycle are all included in the per-provider seat. Legacy EMRs commonly license each of these separately.
Does switching from another EMR lose my data?+
No. Copergrine handles data migration as part of onboarding — we map your records, you verify a test sample, then we cut over. Migrations from common cloud EMRs are well-trodden; certain legacy enterprise systems take longer due to export restrictions on their end.
Is the AI making clinical decisions?+
No. Copergrine drafts notes, codes, and guideline-anchored care plans; a licensed clinician reviews and signs everything. Every accepted suggestion is logged and auditable.
