“Can a mobile-first EHR become the vertical operating system — clinical, billing, and payments — for independent US medical practices?”
DrChrono launched in 2009 as a mobile-first EHR for small medical practices, becoming an early Apple mobility partner and processing billions in medical claims. It layered on medical billing, practice management, and patient payments to become a vertical operating system for independent providers. Since being acquired by EverCommerce in 2021, it operates as part of the EverHealth portfolio and increasingly bundles third-party fintech (Stripe, WorldPay, PaySimple, Kapitus) rather than building financial infrastructure itself.
