## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-07 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> # Best EHRs for medical clinics
> 
> The honest answer is that "best" depends mostly on clinic size and whether you want billing bundled in. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in order:
> 
> **1. Elation Health** - My default recommendation for independent primary care clinics (1-10 providers). Won Best in KLAS 2026 for Small Practice Ambulatory EMR/PM for the second year running, which is pure customer-satisfaction data, not marketing. Clean, fast charting built around primary care workflow. Around $275/provider/month.
> 
> **2. athenahealth** - The pick once you're past ~10 providers or want someone else owning revenue cycle. Won Ambulatory EHR for 11-75 physicians (independent) for the fifth consecutive year. Priced as a percentage of collections, typically 4-7%, so it scales with revenue rather than headcount - great when cash flow is tight, expensive at high volume. Their Ambient Notes feature lets you choose between Abridge, Suki, and iScribe for AI scribing.
> 
> **3. eClinicalWorks** - Broadest feature set for the money (~$140/provider/month) and handles most specialties. Trade-off is a busier interface and a steeper learning curve; support quality is the common complaint.
> 
> **4. ModMed
