The NextGen Alternative
NextGen is enterprise software — built for large groups, priced for them. Most SMB and mid-size practices do not need that complexity. Go Medical Billing is full-service revenue cycle at 2.49% of net collections, no enterprise contracts, no multi-month implementations.

Go Medical Billing vs NextGen: Side-by-Side
Why Practices Switch from NextGen to Go Medical Billing
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.
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.
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.
