Clinical systems · Allergy / immunology EHR
ModuleMD
ModuleMD provides EHR, practice management, and revenue cycle management (RCM) software built for allergy, immunology, ENT allergy, pulmonology, and infusion practices. Tools for immunotherapy, biologics, and buy-and-bill are part of the charting system.
Strong fit
- Allergy, immunology, ENT allergy, pulmonology, and infusion practices that want specialty tools in one EHR and practice management system
- Groups that want immunotherapy, biologics, and buy-and-bill tools built into the chart
- Practices comparing mid-sized specialty EHRs such as Compulink and Optivate
Weak fit
- Replacing a hospital EHR or running a health information exchange across hospitals
- Solo primary care clinics that only need a simple online chart
- Buyers looking for patient messaging or staffing with no need for a specialty EHR
Bottom line
ModuleMD is a strong option for allergy, immunology, ENT allergy, pulmonology, and infusion practices that want one specialty system for charting, practice management, and billing. It works best when the practice assigns its own leads to run implementation and data conversion. Multi-specialty groups may find Compulink a better fit, and ophthalmology practices should look at Optivate.

ModuleMD is a specialty EHR and practice management company in Grand Blanc, Michigan, led by CEO Abhinay Rao Penugonda. It was founded in 1999 for allergy and immunology practices, later added ENT allergy, pulmonology, internal medicine, and infusion, and has made the Inc. 5000 list. Its customers are specialty outpatient practices that want testing, immunotherapy, biologics, and billing in one system, and its depth shows in specialty templates and the newer WISE Touch smart chart.
Results are strongest when a practice moves all of that specialty work onto ModuleMD instead of stretching a general outpatient EHR to cover it. Setup still needs someone at the practice to own the switch and the data conversion. Among the specialty clinical systems we review, ModuleMD has the highest overall score (7.6), ahead of ClinicMind, Kipu Health, and Office Practicum (all 7.4), Compulink (7.2), and Optivate (7.0), and it also scores above DrChrono, a general outpatient EHR. Compulink, with its Advantage software, suits multi-specialty practices, Optivate is built for ophthalmology, and Kipu Health for behavioral health.

Pricing
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | A quoted subscription for the specialty EHR and practice management, plus optional billing services. |
| What usually drives cost | Number of providers, modules (EHR, practice management, billing, infusion), interfaces, and how much data to convert. |
| What to ask before you buy | The full first-year cost for your number of providers, including conversion, training, and any buy-and-bill or billing add-ons. |
| Published pricing | Quoted for each practice, mainly by number of providers. Prices are not listed on the website. |
Prerequisites for purchase
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What you need to get ModuleMD to function | |
| Named clinical and operations leads for the switch | The switch needs clinical and operations owners who make decisions and keep training on track. |
| A written list of data to export from your current EHR and practice management system, and the connections you use | Data left behind has to be looked up or entered again by hand. |
| Current numbers for charting time, claim delays, and no-shows | A baseline is the only way to show whether the new system improved anything. |
| A training schedule for providers and front desk staff before launch | Without training before launch, staff fall back on paper workarounds. |
| A list of your main specialties and the templates you need on day one | A generic setup misses the steps where each specialty slows down. |
| What will maximize your value | |
| Track charting time and claims paid on first submission every week for 90 days | Those two numbers show results better than counts of logins. |
| Try one specialty or site before launching everywhere | A smaller first launch shows problems while they are still easy to fix. |
| Drop duplicate paper or spreadsheet trackers after one month running both | Running two systems means entering everything twice. |
| Hold a regular short meeting on stuck connections and denials | Claims stuck on a broken connection or a denial quietly add to unpaid balances. |
| Send clinical and billing leaders a monthly operations summary | A regular report brings problems to leaders before they grow. |
| Deal-breakers | |
| No one will own the switch or building templates. | |
| You will not do the data conversion or connection work it needs. | |
| You expect an outpatient tool to replace a hospital inpatient system. | |
| Leaders will not measure charting time or claim quality. | |
| Your compliance team blocks the data sharing needed to launch. | |
Value creation time frame
| # | Stage | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Plan and measure the starting point | 2-4 weeks. Agree on measures, specialty templates, and the connections you need. |
| 2 | Set up | 6-14 weeks. Build the setup, convert data, connect systems, and test charts. |
| 3 | Pilot | 2-6 weeks. Run one specialty or site and write down how to handle problems. |
| 4 | Expand | 1-3 months. Add providers and sites, and stop using side systems. |
