The right EMR for a orthopedics practice should handle imaging (PACS) integration and body diagrams, procedure, surgical and casting workflows, and DME and workers'-comp billing. Below are the vendors in our catalog that fit Orthopedics practices — compare them by size and workflow, or have an expert shortlist them for you.
No single EMR dominates Orthopedics. The leader — athenahealth — holds just 31.1% of orthopedics providers whose EMR is identifiable in the federal registry. Oracle Health (Cerner) (15.7%) and eClinicalWorks (14.5%) follow, and roughly 38.7% runs something else again. This is a market worth comparing, not defaulting in.

Of the 27 vendors that fit orthopedics, 6 publish their prices. Across those, a provider seat typically runs $210–$475 per provider per month, with the full published span from $126 to $1,070. Everyone else quotes privately.
Ranges, not quotes — what you actually pay depends on provider count, contract length and which modules you take. Figures are the vendors' own published prices as of August 2026; we do not publish prices a vendor has not published itself. Vendors that charge per practice, per patient visit or per organisation are left out of the range above rather than converted into a per-provider figure, because that conversion cannot be done honestly.

For a orthopedics practice, prioritize imaging (PACS) integration and body diagrams, procedure, surgical and casting workflows, and DME and workers'-comp billing — plus ONC/CEHRT certification, e-prescribing, and a patient portal. Confirm the vendor will sign a BAA and supports the billing codes your visit mix depends on.
Cloud orthopedics EMRs typically run about $200–$700 per provider per month, and many small practices land around $110–$425 all-in. Expect a one-time setup and data-migration fee of roughly $2,000–$10,000, plus add-ons like controlled-substance e-prescribing, telehealth, and lab interfaces.
Smaller orthopedics practices usually do best with a cloud-based, all-in-one system that bundles scheduling, charting, and billing at a predictable per-provider price. Use the practice-size filter on our vendor list to see systems built for 1–5 providers, or get a free shortlist matched to your size.
Most orthopedics practices now choose cloud-based EMRs for the lower upfront cost, automatic updates, and anywhere access, with the vendor handling security and backups. On-premise still appeals to some larger groups that want full control of their servers, but it carries higher IT and maintenance costs.
A typical orthopedics EMR switch runs about 60–120 days end to end — selection, data migration, system build, staff training, and a deliberate go-live. Plan for a short productivity dip in the first few weeks and keep your old system reachable for claims still in flight.
