I like the voice transcript feature, it helps me to close charts very easily.
Althea is a great new addition to our practice. It is very customizable and works well with our needs. It has cut down the time the doctors spend charting to more patient contact. Overall great EHR — definitely would recommend it to other medical practices.
The best and most effective and efficient EMR system I have ever dealt with. It has made my front and back office employees’ lives much easier and productive. Its features are limitless allowing timely management and maintenance of patient’s medical records. I would highly recommend this product to any medical clinic. We loved everything about Althea. Very easy and thorough. Amazing system.
“Ease of use, excellent features, and great for dictating chart notes. Switched from eClinicalWorks.”
Everything a Family Medicine physician needs to know before making the switch to Althea Smart EHR.
Yes, Althea Smart EHR includes purpose-built well-child visit templates for every age milestone: 2-week, 2-month, 4-month, 6-month, 9-month, 12-month, 18-month, 24-month, and annual visits from 3 through 18. Each template includes age-appropriate developmental milestones, screening prompts (M-CHAT, PEDS, adolescent depression), vaccine tracking, and HEDIS measure documentation, all pre-populated and ready at every visit.
Althea Smart EHR includes bidirectional state immunization registry integration via VXU HL7 messaging. Vaccines administered in your practice are automatically reported to the state registry in real time. You can also pull a patient’s full vaccine history from the registry with one click. The system alerts providers to overdue vaccines at every encounter, and can trigger automated recall messages to families.
Yes, Althea Smart EHR has PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, M-CHAT, and CRAFFT built directly into the appropriate encounter templates. Scores are auto-calculated, results are auto-documented, and follow-up actions are prompted at the point of care. No separate system needed, behavioral health is fully integrated into your clinical workflow.
Yes, Althea Smart EHR includes OB and prenatal visit templates with gestational age calculator, trimester-structured documentation, postpartum templates, and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale built in. Annual women’s exam templates include Pap smear tracking, contraception counseling documentation, and women’s health preventive screening alerts.
RAF scores determine reimbursement for your adult Medicare Advantage patients. Althea Smart EHR includes built-in RAF Score Optimization and HCC Gap Detection that surface alerts at the point of care, flagging underdocumented chronic conditions in real time so your coding is accurate and your reimbursement is maximized visit by visit.
Althea Smart EHR’s AI Ambient Charting adapts to every family medicine visit type, well-child exams, adult SOAP visits, OB appointments, acute sick visits, and behavioral health encounters. The AI listens, identifies the visit structure, and generates the appropriate note type automatically. Most notes are complete before the patient leaves the room.
MD Synergy eliminates all three disruption sources: free data migration before go-live, 2-hour training required for Althea Smart EHR for the provider, and 100% patient go-live on Day 1.
Althea Smart EHR includes a built-in HEDIS measure tracking dashboard covering both adult and pediatric populations, childhood immunization rates, well-child visit completion, cervical cancer screening, breast cancer screening, and more. Gaps are surfaced at the point of care for every relevant patient, and QRDA reporting supports compliant CMS quality measure submissions.
CMS programs allowing billing for non-face-to-face care management. CCM (CPT 99490, 99491) requires 20 min/month. APCM (CPT G0556, G0557, G0558) is complexity-tiered with no minimum time, easier to scale across your entire adult patient panel. Althea Smart EHR includes billing code automation for both.
Althea Smart EHR automatically suggests the correct age-appropriate preventive CPT code at every well-child visit, CPT 99381–99385 for new patients and 99391–99395 for established patients, based on the patient’s age at the time of the encounter. No manual code lookup required. The AI Billing Assistant also flags common pediatric billing errors before claim submission.
AWVs bill under G0438 (initial) and G0439 (subsequent). Althea Smart EHR’s purpose-built AWV templates guide physicians through every required component, health risk assessment, cognitive screening, preventive care review, and care plan update, ensuring compliant, complete visits every time with the correct billing code automatically applied.
Seven criteria that matter for family medicine: (1) Age-specific well-child templates, (2) Immunization registry integration, (3) Behavioral health screening tools built-in, (4) AI ambient charting for all visit types, (5) Truly mobile-first on iPhone and iPad, (6) RAF/HCC gap detection, (7) No setup fees and flexible contract terms. Althea Smart EHR meets all seven, rated 5.0 ★ on Capterra.
Family medicine physicians face the highest documentation burden of any specialty, with the widest variety of visit types in a single day. In family medicine practices using Althea Smart EHR, providers reported cutting their charting time in half, with most notes completed before the patient leaves the room, giving physicians back hours every day for patient care, family, and rest.
Althea Smart EHR includes built-in telehealth, no third-party app required. Virtual visits follow the same workflow as in-person encounters and are ideal for pediatric sick visits, prenatal check-ins, postpartum follow-ups, and behavioral health counseling. AI Ambient Charting listens, the note generates automatically, and the visit is billed identically to an office visit.
