At a glance

Athelas Air vs. Prompt at a glance

What Prompt practices told us on calls, next to how Air handles it.

Athelas Air

What Prompt practices told us

Notes and Scribe

Scribe fills the note and the flowsheet together, inside the note

The flowsheet sat in its own tab, and the scribe didn't fill it

Claims

Payer rules hold a claim before it goes out

What Prompt practices told us

Denials surfaced after the patient had been in five times

Reports

Revenue by month and clinic that ties to your bank deposits

What Prompt practices told us

Reports didn't match the bank account

Pricing

One price for EMR, Scribe and billing

What Prompt practices told us

Cost rose with every provider and add-on

Payments

Tap-to-pay reader, text-to-pay with Apple Pay, statements that go out

What Prompt practices told us

Cards keyed in by hand; statements that never reached patients

Support

A named team, on site at go-live

What Prompt practices told us

Onboarding ended at go-live, and support was email only

Eligibility

Checked a week ahead, with deductible and out-of-pocket left on the visit

What Prompt practices told us

Verification didn't always work; refunds after deductibles were met

Faxes

Every clinic's fax in one inbox, sorted to the right chart

What Prompt practices told us

Inbound faxes on a separate website; fax lines that disconnected

Plan-of-care texts

Weekly text to under-scheduled patients, with exclusions you choose

What Prompt practices told us

All or nothing, so practices turned them off

Waitlist and online booking

Both

What Prompt practices told us

Prompt has both too

Documentation

Scribe fills the flowsheet, inside the note.

Record the visit and Scribe drafts the note and fills the flowsheet in the same place: interventions, minutes, units and CPTs. Check both on one screen and sign.

On Air

One note, one flowsheet, filled together. Scribe is part of Air, not a separate contract.

What Prompt practices told us

The flowsheet sat in its own tab, and the scribe didn't fill it.

Claims

Catch the denial at the first visit, not the fifth.

Write a payer rule in plain English. Air holds every claim that breaks it before it goes out, and the fix covers every visit after it.

On Air

Rules and coding edits run on every claim before submission.

What Prompt practices told us

No ICD-10 edits, and denials came back after five visits had been billed.

“By the time we get the denial or rejection from the insurance, in some cases, the patient's already been there 5 times.”

Justin, Biller · Knox Physical Therapy

Reporting

Reports that match your bank.

Revenue by month, clinic and payer, a month-end close on date posted, and a report that ties every bank deposit to the claims it paid.

On Air

Your accountant gets numbers that tie out.

What Prompt practices told us

Reports by service date and by deposit date never matched, and the good ones were hard to find.

“The reports that [our old EMR] has given me as far as what we made do not match what our bank account is showing.”

Bryan Olson, Owner · First Coast Rehabilitation

Pricing

One system, one price, as you add providers.

EHR, Scribe, billing, eligibility, payments and fax come together in Air, so adding a provider doesn't add a new contract.

On Air: one agreement

EHR and flowsheets

Air Scribe

Billing and claim rules

Eligibility

Payments and statements

Fax and patient texting

Reports

Prompt, as practices described it

EMR priced per provider

RCM as a percentage of collections

Kiosk, scribe and engagement as add-ons

A fee on self-pay services

Payments

Payments that land, statements that go out.

Patients pay at the desk with tap or chip, or from a text with Apple Pay. Payments post to the right balance, and statements go out on schedule by text, email or paper.

On Air

The reminder and the payment link arrive together.

What Prompt practices told us

Cards were keyed in by hand, and some patients never got a statement.

“Professionalism and kindness to our team, your demeanor has been night and day difference from [our old EMR].”

Lee Easley, Owner · Knox Physical Therapy

Eligibility

Know what the patient owes before they walk in.

Air checks eligibility 7 days before every appointment for most payers and shows the deductible and out-of-pocket left on the visit, so the front desk collects the right amount.

On Air

No more refunds after the deductible is met.

What Prompt practices told us

Verification didn't always work, and patients kept paying after they hit their out-of-pocket.

Air fax inbox with three clinic fax lines, AI Sorted labels and the View and Update Fax panel

One inbox for every clinic line. AI-sorted faxes are filed to the matching chart.

Front desk

Every clinic's fax in one inbox.

Each clinic keeps its own fax number. Incoming referrals land in one inbox, and Air files the ones it can match to the right chart. The rest wait in Unprocessed for your team.

On Air

Processed and unprocessed, not just read and unread.

What Prompt practices told us

Inbound faxes lived on a separate website, and clinic fax lines kept disconnecting.

“I actually like that better. Like, you've got processed, unprocessed versus read and unread.”

Lee Easley, Owner · Knox Physical Therapy

Plan of care

Plan-of-care texts you can control.

Every week, Air texts patients booked for fewer visits than their plan of care calls for, with a link to book the rest. Leave out anyone who's traveling or discharged.

On Air

Choose who gets the text, one patient at a time.

What Prompt practices told us

The texts went to everyone or no one, so practices turned them off.

Also in Air

What you use in Prompt today is here too.

Prompt practices liked their waitlist and online booking. Air has both.

Waitlist

Patients join from the patient portal. When a slot opens, your staff sends it to the list by text and email.

Online booking

Your own booking link, with slots held for the insurances you choose.

What comes over

Your Prompt history, in Air before day one.

We extract your records from Prompt and map them into Air, so your team is not re-keying anything. Your providers log in to their own patients and schedule, not a sample account. Meier & Marsh moved every patient file and ledger out of Prompt in August 2024 and opened the front desk in Air the following Monday.

Read only and one direction

We pull from Prompt and never write back to it. Record counts are matched block by block, then we walk your own data with your team before go-live.

Patient data includes demographics, insurance, diagnoses, prior authorizations, appointments, cases, and clinical notes.
The pilot

A zero-risk way to find out.

Run Air and Scribe on your own patients, in your own clinic, at no cost. Three days of real visits is a better evaluation than any demo.

Free

No cost to evaluate Air. No card, no contract.

3 days

Scribe and scheduling on real visits, with our team alongside you.

Your data

You pilot with your actual patients, schedule, and workflow. Not a sample chart.

No commitment

Evaluate Air, then decide whether it is right for your practice.

You're not committing to switch. You're committing to see if Air is better.

How the pilot works

Four steps, and most of the work is ours. Prompt stays live the whole time.

Step 1

Apply

Tell us about your practice. A short scoping call sets the providers, the dates, and your start date.

Step 2

We set it up

Five days. We migrate your Prompt data read-only, load your templates and train your team before your pilot goes live.

Step 3

Pilot Starts

Your providers use Air and Scribe with real patients for three days, with our team checking in alongside them.

Step 4

Decide

Keep it, ask more questions, or walk away. We wrap up against the success criteria you set.

Questions before you leave Prompt.

Will my reports match my bank?

Yes. Air closes each month on date posted, and the Bank Deposit Reconciliation report ties every deposit to the claims it paid.

How does Air catch claim errors?

Payer rules and coding edits run before a claim is submitted. Write a rule in plain English, like “Hold Medicare claims without a plan of care on file,” and it applies to every claim after it.

What does Air cost compared with Prompt?

One agreement covers the EHR, Scribe, billing, eligibility, payments and fax, so adding a provider doesn't add a new contract. We price it for your providers and clinics on the scoping call.

Which payers does eligibility cover?

Most payers, through Waystar, Availity and UHC. Air checks each appointment 7 days before the visit and shows the deductible and out-of-pocket left.

Does Air have a waitlist and online booking?

Yes, both. Patients join the waitlist from the patient portal, and your staff sends open slots to the list by text and email. Online booking uses your own link, with slots held for the insurances you choose.

What comes over from Prompt?

Demographics, insurance and payer priority, referring providers, diagnoses, prior authorizations, appointments, cases, ledgers, and clinical notes, in five business days. Record counts are matched block by block, and we walk through your own data with your team before go-live. Prompt stays live the whole time.

Is the pilot really free?

Yes. The Athelas Air pilot is free, with no contract and no commitment to continue. You tell us about your practice on a short call, we set up your environment, and your providers try Air with real visits. At the end you decide whether to move forward.
