ModMed vs Sunoh.ai (2026)
Two scribes built by record system vendors for the specialty ambulatory practice, and in practice the platform underneath decides it. ModMed Scribe 2.0 is native to ModMed's EMA and gGastro systems across eleven specialties, turns the visit into suggested notes, prescriptions, lab orders and billing codes, runs on specialty trained models that ModMed says were trained on de identified data from more than 750 million encounters, and is central to the EHR's certification under the ONC decision support intervention criterion. Sunoh is native to eClinicalWorks but also names integrations with athenahealth, Cerner, Epic, ModMed and Practice Fusion and reaches other browser based records through a free Chrome extension, pre fills orders from the conversation, and costs $149 per user a month with a free trial. If you run ModMed and want the scribe its specialty templates were built around, start with ModMed Scribe. If you want a published price, dental or vision documentation, or a scribe that is not tied to one record system, start with Sunoh.
- Specialty depth is the platform's center, with record systems for eleven medical specialties through EMA and gGastro.
- ModMed states its training provenance, describing proprietary, specialty trained models trained on de identified data sampled from more than 750 million patient encounters.
- The AI sits inside a certified regime, with the scribe named as central to the EHR's ONC certification under the decision support intervention criterion, which requires source attributes and risk management.
- The price is on the page, at $149 per user a month as a limited time rate, with a free trial and a business associate agreement and implementation included.
- It travels outside its home system, naming integrations with athenahealth, Cerner, Epic, ModMed and Practice Fusion and reaching other browser based records through EHR Sync, a free Chrome extension.
- The specialty list runs past medicine, to vision clinics and dental practices, where Sunoh produces periodontal charting and treatment plans.

Sunoh.ai is the ambient AI scribe from healow, an eClinicalWorks company, and the documentation option built into the eClinicalWorks record system. It listens to the visit and produces a transcript, a dialogue flow and a draft note sorted into Progress Note sections, and it captures labs, imaging, procedures, medication orders and follow up details from the conversation as draft orders.

Questions buyers ask
How do ModMed and Sunoh.ai work with the EHR?
For ModMed, the company states the AI is built directly into EMA with no additional software or integrations required, so approved note content flows into prescriptions and lab orders without a handoff, and clinical charts link directly to practice management and billing.
Beyond its home system, Sunoh.ai names integrations with athenahealth, Cerner, Epic, ModMed, Practice Fusion and Tebra, without published detail on what each reads or writes. Other browser based record systems are reached through EHR Sync, a free Chrome extension configured once per EHR, which reads patient data, drafts notes and sends them into the record after the clinician reviews and approves them. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified August 4, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
How are ModMed and Sunoh.ai priced and sold?
In ModMed's case, an existing customer evaluating the AI layer is not making a competitive purchase, and nothing published tells them what the addition costs relative to what they already pay.
Sunoh.ai lists $149 per user per month, marked as a limited time rate, with a sign up that carries no contract commitment and with implementation services, the voice recognition system and a business associate agreement included. EHR Sync carries no extra charge, so the cost can be sized and the product started without a sales conversation, though the page does not say what the rate becomes when the offer ends. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified August 4, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
Which settings and specialties do ModMed and Sunoh.ai cover?
With ModMed, specialty depth is the company's central differentiator and it is substantiated.
Sunoh.ai publishes pages for family and internal medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, dermatology, orthopedics, urgent care, ambulatory surgery centers, behavioral health with DAP notes, vision clinics, and dental practices, where it produces periodontal charting and treatment plans. Dental and optometry documentation follow different structures from physician notes, which widens the fit for a multispecialty or dental group. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified August 4, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
What evidence is published for ModMed and Sunoh.ai?
For ModMed, the company claims specialty physicians finish notes in less than an hour, footnoted that results may vary, and publishes customer stories such as a practice saving two hours a day. Historical third party recognition exists in the form of top Black Book EHR rankings across dermatology, ophthalmology, plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and urology, but those rate the EHR rather than the AI.
Sunoh.ai publishes more than 30 customer stories from practices and health centers such as Family Health Centers, Hendry Regional Medical Center, Indiana University Health Center and MedFlorida Medical Centers. Their quotes report up to two hours saved a day, notes closed the same day rather than within three days, and one practice cutting documentation time by 50 percent or more. From the AI Health Index, drawn from each vendor's own published materials and the regulatory record, verified August 4, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
