Our verdict
Choose ModMed for orthopedic, pain management and other specialty groups, including practices with their own surgery center, that want specialty-built charting, practice management and revenue cycle services from one vendor.
Choose Ambula for pain management, orthopedic, chiropractic and surgery center practices that treat personal injury patients and need liens, attorney access and case reports in the same record as the chart.
Pros
- Orthopedic and pain management suites built with physicians on staff
- Electronic prior authorization, electronic prescribing of controlled substances (EPCS) and prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) tools for pain practices
- An ASC product that shares patient history and scheduling with the practice
- AI scribe, patient messaging and RCM services from the same vendor
Cons for personal injury practices
- No lien workflow or attorney portal described publicly
- Pricing isn't published; third-party estimates run well above Ambula's list price
- EPCS is an add-on and PDMP lookups need a separate agreement
- ModMed ASC isn't available in every state
What ModMed is.
ModMed (Modernizing Medicine), based in Boca Raton, Florida, sells the EMA cloud EHR with practice management, patient engagement, analytics, payment processing and revenue cycle management (RCM) services. It builds a separate suite for each specialty it serves, including orthopedics and pain management, with physicians on staff helping design the content. ModMed ASC adds ambulatory surgery center (ASC) charting that connects to the practice.

How we review
We read each vendor's public website, pricing pages and documentation, link our sources, and mark anything we couldn't find as “not listed publicly.” We don't test competitors' products. Ambula sells a competing EMR, so ask every vendor, including us, to show the workflow in a demo.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What practices ask about ModMed and Ambula.
Still have a question?
Book a demoHow much does ModMed cost?
ModMed doesn't publish prices and quotes after a demo. RCM services are priced separately. Ask for a written quote that includes implementation, training and add-ons such as EPCS. Ambula is $300 per provider per month for an independent practice.
Does ModMed handle personal injury liens?
We couldn't find a lien or attorney portal workflow in ModMed's public materials as of October 2026. Ask the vendor to show one in a demo. Ambula signs liens at intake, keeps the balance on the case ledger and gives firms a Lawyer Portal.
Do ModMed and Ambula both support surgery centers?
Yes. ModMed ASC connects to its EHR and practice management. Ambula's ASC charting, anesthesia record and office charting share one record, and surgery centers pay $750 per operating room per month.
Can I move my data from ModMed to Ambula?
If your data is structured, such as Excel or CSV exports, or scanned documents, Ambula can migrate it and works directly with your current EMR vendor. Migration is one of the services billed separately.
