NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Quality Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: QSII) and a leading provider of ambulatory healthcare and connectivity solutions, announced the availability of its subscription-based, software as a service (SaaS) model. Through this model, which is designed for smaller practices, providers can quickly access the NextGen® EHR (Electronic Health Record) or NextGen EPM (Enterprise Practice Management) products for a monthly subscription starting at $599 per provider for one product or $799 per provider for both products. The standard monthly subscription fee also includes state-of-the-art hosting and maintenance services, as well as access to the NextMD patient portal and utilization of 3M CPT4/ICD9 coding content.

“Given the current economic state, many smaller practices simply can’t afford the initial capital outlay associated with purchasing servers and software licenses,” said Patrick Cline, president of NextGen Healthcare. “We’re excited to offer this delivery model to help practices quickly and costeffectively meet their automation needs, while also providing the advanced technology platform needed to address stimulus-related incentive (pay-for-performance) requirements.”

With a NextGen EHR subscription, providers have access to patient education content, drug and allergy data from First Data Bank, and e-prescribing and formulary checking through NextGen Healthcare’s medication management feature. NextGen EHR is currently the only EHR product that has achieved Surescripts Platinum Solution Provider status. In addition, NextGen EHR is positioned to meet all standards that the government will be endorsing as part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. A NextGen EPM subscription includes NextGen Realtime Claims Edits functionality that can help providers achieve higher reimbursement.

Nominal set up and implementation/training fees will be applicable in addition to the subscription fee. NextGen Healthcare will also continue to offer its current licensing purchase model.
