Clinical systems · Allergy / immunology EHR
ModuleMD
ModuleMD provides specialty EHR, practice management, and RCM software for allergy, immunology, ENT allergy, pulmonology, and infusion practices. It is not a hospital inpatient EHR.
Strong fit
- Allergy, immunology, ENT allergy, pulmonology, and infusion practices that need specialty workflows in one EHR and practice-management stack
- Groups that want immunotherapy, biologics, and buy-and-bill workflows built into charting rather than bolted onto a generic ambulatory EHR
- Buyers comparing mid-market specialty EHR peers rather than Epic or Oracle Health inpatient programs
Weak fit
- Hospital inpatient EHR replacements or multi-hospital community HIEs
- Solo primary-care clinics that only need a lightweight cloud ambulatory chart
- Buyers shopping a patient-messaging or staffing product with no specialty EHR requirement
Bottom line
ModuleMD earns a Recommend and sits at the top of our specialty clinical-systems board for allergy, immunology, ENT allergy, pulmonology, and infusion practices. Outcomes look strongest when the practice runs testing, immunotherapy, biologics, and billing on one specialty platform instead of stretching a general ambulatory EHR. Product depth shows in specialty templates and the newer WISE Touch intelligent-chart story; implementation still needs practice ownership and data conversion. Pricing is quote-based. LinkedIn-class revenue near $18.5M and Inc. 5000 recognition keep it inside the prefer band. Score sits above Compulink and Optivate on this specialty board and above DrChrono on ambulatory peers that share the same buyer problem of specialty chart velocity.

ModuleMD is a Grand Blanc specialty EHR and practice-management company founded in 1999 for allergy and immunology practices, later expanded into ENT allergy, pulmonology, internal medicine, and infusion. CEO Abhinay Rao Penugonda leads the firm; third-party directories often cite revenue near $18.5M.
It is a specialty clinical system, not a hospital inpatient EHR. Compare Compulink when multi-specialty Advantage workflows are the buy, Optivate when ophthalmology is the only lane, and Kipu when behavioral health is the specialty OS.
Score reflects specialty outcome and product depth at the top of this board, with softer marks on published pricing clarity.

Pricing
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | Quoted specialty EHR and practice-management subscription plus optional RCM services; public list dollars are not on the marketing site. |
| What usually drives cost | Provider count, modules (EHR, PM, RCM, infusion), interfaces, and conversion scope. |
| What to ask in diligence | All-in first-year cost at your provider count, including conversion, training, and any buy-and-bill or RCM add-ons. |
| Published pricing | Public list price: not published. Expect specialty SaaS quotes by provider count. |
Prerequisites for purchase
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What you need to get ModuleMD to function | |
| Named clinical and operations owners for cutover | Software without owners becomes shelfware. |
| Current EHR/PM export and interface inventory documented | Missing feeds recreate double documentation. |
| Baseline charting time, claim lag, and no-show rates captured | You cannot prove value without a before number. |
| Training calendar for providers and front desk before go-live | Untrained users reinvent paper workarounds. |
| Top specialties and templates required on day one listed | Generic configs miss specialty bottlenecks. |
| What will maximize your value | |
| Track documentation time and clean-claim rate weekly for 90 days | Login counts are not outcomes. |
| Pilot one specialty or site before enterprise banners | Narrow wins beat empty rollouts. |
| Retire duplicate paper or spreadsheet trackers after a parallel month | Dual entry doubles cost. |
| Hold a standing huddle on stalled interfaces and denials | Silent aging hides failure. |
| Publish a monthly ops digest to clinical and billing leaders | Hidden friction surprises everyone. |
| Deal-breakers | |
| Nobody will own the cutover or template build. | |
| You refuse data conversion or interface work the product needs. | |
| You expect a hospital inpatient replacement from a specialty ambulatory tool. | |
| Leadership will not measure charting time or claim quality. | |
| Compliance blocks the data path required for go-live. | |
Value creation time frame
| # | Stage | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope & baseline | 2-4 weeks - Metrics, specialty templates, interface inventory. |
| 2 | Configure | 6-14 weeks - Builds, conversions, interfaces; test charts. |
| 3 | Pilot | 2-6 weeks - One specialty or site; issue playbook. |
| 4 | Scale | 1-3 months - Add providers/sites; retire shadow systems. |
