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 want specialty tools in one EHR and practice management system
- Groups that want immunotherapy, biologics, and buy-and-bill built into charting rather than added onto a general outpatient EHR
- Buyers comparing mid-sized specialty EHRs rather than Epic or Oracle Health hospital systems
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 worth using for allergy, immunology, ENT allergy, pulmonology, and infusion practices that want one specialty system instead of a general outpatient EHR. It suits practices ready to own implementation and data conversion. Multi-specialty groups may prefer Compulink, and ophthalmology practices should look at Optivate.

ModuleMD is a specialty EHR and practice management company in Grand Blanc, Michigan. It was founded in 1999 for allergy and immunology practices and later added ENT allergy, pulmonology, internal medicine, and infusion.
CEO Abhinay Rao Penugonda leads the firm, which has made the Inc. 5000 list.
It is a specialty clinical system, not a hospital EHR.
Results look strongest when a practice runs testing, immunotherapy, biologics, and billing on one specialty platform instead of stretching a general outpatient EHR.
Its depth shows in specialty templates and the newer WISE Touch smart chart.
Setup still needs someone at the practice to own it and data conversion. Prices are quoted for each customer, not published.
Among the specialty clinical systems we review, ModuleMD scores highest. It is above Compulink and Optivate, and above DrChrono among outpatient systems built for faster specialty charting.
Compulink suits multi-specialty practices on Advantage. Optivate suits ophthalmology only, and Kipu suits behavioral health.

Pricing
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | A quoted subscription for the specialty EHR and practice management, plus optional billing services. ModuleMD does not publish prices. |
| 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 | ModuleMD does not publish prices. Expect a quote based on number of providers. |
Prerequisites for purchase
| Need | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What you need to get ModuleMD to function | |
| Named clinical and operations leads for the switch | Software with no owner goes unused. |
| A written list of data to export from your current EHR and practice management system, and the connections you use | Missing data means charting things twice. |
| Current numbers for charting time, claim delays, and no-shows | You cannot show value without a starting number. |
| A training schedule for providers and front desk staff before launch | Staff without training go back to paper workarounds. |
| A list of your main specialties and the templates you need on day one | A generic setup misses where each specialty gets stuck. |
| What will maximize your value | |
| Track charting time and claims paid on first submission every week for 90 days | Counting logins does not show results. |
| Try one specialty or site before launching everywhere | A small real win is worth more than a broad launch with nothing behind it. |
| Drop duplicate paper or spreadsheet trackers after one month running both | Entering everything twice doubles the cost. |
| Hold a regular short meeting on stuck connections and denials | Unpaid balances that quietly grow older hide problems. |
| Send clinical and billing leaders a monthly operations summary | Problems no one reports surprise everyone later. |
| 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. |
