Why Practices Switch from NextGen to Go Medical Billing

1

Get back to a workflow that fits your size

NextGen is built for enterprise — FQHCs, large groups, networks. SMB and mid-size practices on NextGen often run features they do not need at prices that do not fit. We provide standardized billing workflow priced for practices that are not running at enterprise scale.

2

Skip the 4-9 month implementation

Most NextGen migrations run 4–9 months. We onboard in 2–4 weeks. The difference is what we are: software requires deep configuration, services require credential setup. Faster start, faster results.

3

Stop staffing IT just to run your billing system

NextGen's customization depth requires dedicated IT/PM personnel. Smaller practices rarely have that headcount. We handle billing without you needing to staff for it.

Which Is the Right Fit?

NextGen is the better fit if…

FQHCs, large multi-specialty groups, and ambulatory networks that need deep enterprise customization and have IT staff to operate it.

Go Medical Billing is the better fit if…

Practices under 20 providers that cannot justify enterprise pricing or 4–9 month implementations.

Switching from NextGen: FAQ

Common questions buyers ask before switching.

If you are under 20 providers, are not a FQHC, and do not have a dedicated IT staff member supporting billing, the answer is usually yes. Most SMB practices on NextGen are paying for enterprise complexity without using it. Outsourcing billing and using a lighter EHR (or just keeping NextGen for clinical) is typically the right move.
Yes. Many practices do this. NextGen continues as the clinical and operational system; we run billing through it. You can typically downgrade your NextGen RCM module at renewal to save additional cost.
Yes. A 15-provider multi-specialty group at $7M/year in collections on NextGen pays $90–200K/year in software and module fees plus biller salaries totaling $200–400K all-in. The same group on Go Medical Billing pays 2.49% = $174,300. Most groups save $50–200K annually.
