Where Tebra may be the better choice

• You want AI on the phone and in billing too. Tebra offers an AI Voice Assistant and an AI Billing Assistant as add-ons. MedTec does not offer AI phone or billing assistants.
• You are a therapist-led practice. Tebra has plans priced for therapists, from $225 per month.
• You are already on Tebra and it works. Switching takes time, even with help.

Where MedTec may fit better

• You want a lower published starting price. Clinical Pro is $55 per provider per month and includes charting with the AI scribe. You review and sign every note.
• You want no long-term contract. No setup fees, no long-term contract, cancel anytime.
• You want to start free. The free plan covers online booking, reminders and the patient portal, so you can start there and add the clinical platform later.
• You want help moving. We migrate your patients, histories, schedules and balances, and most small practices switch in under two weeks.

Before you switch: what to check

1. Ask your current vendor for a full export of your data, and keep it.
2. Check your contract end date and any notice period.
3. If billing is outsourced or handled by your vendor, plan who will handle claims during the switch.
4. See your own type of visit in a demo before you commit to anything.
