AdvancedMD vs Luma Health

AdvancedMD is an intuitive cloud-based tool. While some users were happy with the system’s integration and customization capabilities, far more users were extremely dissatisfied with other aspects of the system. There were mixed reviews on its reporting capabilities. A significant number of reviewers felt that the sales representatives misled customers noting that they lost money after implementing AdvancedMD and commenting that many features lacked the functionality that they required. Though the add-ons allow users to customize the system, many users complained that the add-ons come at a steep price, making them prohibitive to many users. Users also complained that they were surprised by hidden fees after implementation and felt that customer service was rude and unwilling to help when they called for support. A small number of reviews also noted that upgrades to the system frequently caused downtime and reported discrepancies in their billing that affected customers. While many of the reviews were negative, AdvancedMD remains a popular EHR solution. Due to its high price and difficulty to learn, it is best suited to large practices with the budget for necessary add-ons and internal technical support that is available to help ensure everyone who needs to can use the system.

Luma Health paints a mixed picture in user reviews. Praised for its streamlined communication, empowered patients, and workflow efficiency, it faces criticism for limited customization, occasional glitches, and higher price tags. "Luma transformed our patient engagement," one user raves. "Appointment reminders cut no-shows in half, and patients love the secure messaging and online bill pay." Others echo this sentiment, highlighting Luma's "intuitive interface" and "patient-centric approach" compared to "clunky alternatives." However, some users find Luma less flexible. "Customization options are limited," one reviewer complains. "I wish I could personalize certain features to better fit our practice's workflow." Others mention occasional technical hiccups, calling them "frustrating workflow disruptions." Cost also emerges as a concern. "Compared to other patient engagement platforms, Luma can be expensive, especially for smaller practices," one user notes. This price point, coupled with the onboarding effort required to get patients actively using the platform, can be a hurdle for some. Overall, Luma Health shines in its ease of use and patient-centric features, but its customization limitations, technical glitches, and higher price tag might deter some users. Ultimately, the decision seems to hinge on individual practice needs and budget constraints. As one user aptly summarizes, "Luma is a powerful tool, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution."
