## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> The honest answer is that "best" depends almost entirely on practice size and specialty - but here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd bring them up:
> 
> **1. athenahealth (athenaOne)** - My default recommendation for most independent clinics that bill insurance. It's Best in KLAS for ambulatory EHR in the 11-75 physician segment for the fifth year running, and the big differentiator is that billing/RCM is the product, not a bolt-on: they charge a percentage of collections, so there's no big fixed software bill when revenue is slow, and they're motivated to actually get your claims paid. The tradeoff is that the percentage stings once you're doing well. Roughly 7% of the ambulatory market.
> 
> **2. Elation Health** - My pick for small independent primary care (1-10 physicians). Back-to-back Best in KLAS winner in that category for 2025 and 2026, and the clinical note design is genuinely built around longitudinal primary care rather than being a billing system with charting attached. ~$349-400/month per provider, plus $1,500-8,000 implementation.
> 
> **3. eClinicalWorks** - The one I'd name for mid-market and multi-specialty groups, roughly 10-50 providers. Second-largest ambul
