Choosing an Electronic Health Record (EHR) system is a milestone for any health and wellness practice. Naturally, your attention turns to features, user experience, and monthly subscription rates. But what many practitioners overlook are the hidden, compounding costs that emerge as your practice grows.
From scaling fees to costly migrations, integrations, and operational friction, your EHR could end up costing far more than you think. Here’s what to watch out for before you sign the dotted line.
Growth is a good thing — unless your EHR penalizes you for it.
Many EHR platforms charge per-provider or per-user fees, which multiply quickly as your team expands. Add to that the hidden infrastructure requirements: more staff training, additional devices, compliance support, and data security measures. Suddenly, that “affordable” system is eating into your profit margins.
Many EHRs outsource payment processing, leading to disjointed experiences and hidden transaction fees. Managing multiple logins, handling manual reconciliation, and switching between platforms is time-consuming and error-prone.
Practice Better Payments is different. It’s built by practitioners who know what it takes to streamline revenue collection. Practice Better Payments provides seamless, secure processing of credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, along with in-person options through the WisePOS E reader.

You can track revenue, generate reports, and access support from one intuitive dashboard — no extra plugins or merchant accounts needed.
While some systems charge extra for electronic prescribing or require third-party setup, Practice Better will soon include this functionality natively. No guesswork, no fragmented experiences — just another built-in feature that evolves with your practice and helps you provide excellent patient care.
Managing supplement sales can be a logistical headache — inventory storage, order management, and client follow-ups all add complexity. But what if your EHR helped you turn supplement recommendations into passive income?
By integrating Fullscript directly with Practice Better, you can easily recommend, dispense, and manage supplements virtually right from within your EHR.

If your current EHR no longer fits, switching seems logical — but instead, it’s often a logistical nightmare.
Data migration alone can cost thousands in IT hours and introduce serious risks, like data loss or corruption. Many clinics experience downtime, retraining, and reconfiguring that impacts productivity — sometimes cutting patient load by 50% during the transition.
But with Practice Better, switching is free, fast, and supported by a dedicated migration team.
You don’t have to wrestle with files or worry about losing key information. From secure data transfer to formatting and importing into your new account, our process is designed for seamless continuity.
Whether you’re just getting started or moving from an older system, Practice Better offers migration options to fit your needs, like a $0 Basic Migration that includes:
Make the switch with free migration
Hundreds of practices have already made the transition with minimal disruption, because switching EHRs shouldn’t mean pausing your business.
Some EHRs might seem functional on the surface, but drain resources in subtle ways:
These issues not only cost money, they degrade client trust and practitioner satisfaction.
Beyond daily inefficiencies, legacy systems hinder long-term growth. Features like integrated telehealth, AI-based documentation, and analytics become unavailable or cost-prohibitive to implement.
Worse yet, outdated systems contribute to burnout, slower client onboarding, and lower satisfaction scores. You’re not just missing functionality — you’re missing opportunities to scale.
Before choosing an EHR, ask vendors for a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that includes hidden fees like:
Also evaluate the usability, support, and scalability of the platform. Consider cloud-based EHR systems that bundle essential tools like payments, ePrescribe, and supplement management — tools that enable growth rather than restrict it.
Practice Better is built to grow with your business. With scalable pricing, robust integrations, and built-in features designed to save time and boost revenue, it’s an investment that future-proofs your practice.
See what we’ve built, together
Outgrowing your EHR is more than an inconvenience — it’s a hidden cost sink. From migration fees to missed revenue and staff frustration, staying with the wrong system can hold your practice back.
Choose an EHR that adapts to your evolving needs — one that helps you grow without adding friction. Choose one that integrates payments, supplements, and very soon, ePrescribe.
Choose Practice Better.
