Hint Health

7.8

Hint Health has built a strong reputation as a membership management and billing platform for DPC, and while its clinical EMR capabilities have improved, it still functions best as a business layer paired with a separate clinical system.

Practice Fusion

6.5

Practice Fusion is a general-purpose cloud EMR that technically works for DPC but was never designed for membership-based practices, resulting in a workflow mismatch that creates daily friction for DPC physicians.

Charm EHR

7.5

Charm EHR delivers a solid, affordable foundation for DPC practices that prioritize flexibility and cost control, though its aging interface and absence of AI-powered features leave it trailing behind more modern competitors in the areas that increasingly define clinical efficiency.

Cerbo

7.5

Cerbo brings impressive customization and integrative medicine features to the table, but DPC practices may find its complexity and learning curve harder to justify compared to purpose-built DPC solutions.
