Align vs EZBIS

Align is cloud-based practice management software for chiropractic clinics. It combines scheduling, electronic health-record documentation, patient communication, reporting, and billing workflows in a browser-accessible service. Clinics can create customizable SOAP note templates and macros; the maker says a returning-patient note can take as little as 14 seconds with a saved macro. Scheduling supports multiple providers, visit types, rooms, and locations, plus online self-scheduling and two-way texting. Alerts can identify missed visits, patients without future appointments, and care plans nearing expiration. Billing tools cover claim submission, insurance eligibility, denial management, underpayment tracking, and optional in-house, full-service, or hybrid arrangements. Reports address visits, revenue, utilization, retention, collections, and claims, with Excel or QuickBooks export. Align lists security controls including encryption, two-factor authentication, session timeout, and role-based access. Pricing is on request; the vendor offers a demo and fit-check call.

EZBIS develops chiropractic practice-management and electronic health record software, serving chiropractors since 1980. EZBIS Office brings together billing, collections, scheduling, electronic health records, and patient self-check-in; practices can also combine modules à la carte. The suite is described as scalable from solo practitioners to multi-doctor and multi-location operations. EHR features include body diagrams, customizable panels, SOAP notes, exams, histories, imaging, care plans, and automatic billing-code posting. Practices can deploy the software on an on-premise server or use cloud hosting. The cloud option includes the same EZBIS Office software, automatic software and patient-data backups, and telephone support at no additional charge. EZBIS supports electronic claims, remittances, and eligibility through clearinghouses, plus built-in EMV card processing. The cloud plan costs $225 a month, billed flat rate per month. One-time options are Basic Billing System at $995, paid once and Complete EZBIS Office with 3 Users at $3,995, paid once. Cloud subscriptions require a one-year commitment, are priced per named user for one facility, and charge extra for clearinghouse electronic claims.
