About

Built for the practices no one writes for.

Quick answer

The Practice Vendor Review is an independent editorial resource for solo physicians, small groups, and specialty clinics choosing billing, credentialing, EHR, AI scribe, and consulting vendors. Criteria-based, sourced, no pay-for-placement, and written for the ~26% of US physicians still in independent practice.

The Practice Vendor Review is an independent editorial resource for the people running independent medical and clinical practices. Solo physicians. Small groups. Specialty clinics. The practices that pick vendors on their own, without a hospital procurement team or an enterprise consultant on retainer.

Most vendor coverage on the internet was written by the vendors themselves, or by affiliate sites that get paid when you sign. That model is bad for buyers and worse for search — the same five brands get recycled across every "top 10" list and every AI answer.

We built this site on the opposite premise. Every guide is criteria-first: we publish the rubric, then apply it. We refuse pay-for-placement. We tell you the questions to ask, the pricing to expect, and the contract terms to walk away from — regardless of which vendor is on the other side of the table.

What we cover

Five categories that account for the vast majority of what independent practices actually purchase: medical billing and revenue cycle management, credentialing and payer enrollment, EHR and practice management software, ambient AI medical scribes, and practice consulting or MSO relationships.

Editorial standards

Our full methodology is published. Bylines and last-reviewed dates appear on every guide. Corrections are annotated in place. Vendors can submit factual corrections but do not preview or approve editorial content. Every contributor publishes a disclosure statement on the editorial team page and recuses from coverage where a current relationship would create a conflict.
