MedOptim

MedOptim, based in Little Rock, Arkansas, helps physician practices reduce the documentation burden that pulls doctors away from patient care. Their core service is trained medical scribes, placed either in the clinic alongside you or connected remotely, who document each visit in real time so the chart is ready to sign before the patient leaves. For practices looking to outsource clinical documentation without adding to their payroll, MedOptim functions as a back-office partner handling a task that otherwise follows physicians home after a full clinic day. The company provides both remote and in-person scribe coverage. Remote scribes join visits by phone or computer and document from offsite, keeping extra personnel out of the exam room and working with any specialty or location. In-person scribes work directly in the clinic, suited to high-volume days where real-time collaboration between visits matters. Both options include built-in backup coverage, so there is no risk of a clinic day starting uncovered. MedOptim handles all hiring, training, and management, and every scribe is trained on each physician's specific templates, terminology, and preferred documentation style before the engagement begins. Specialties served include primary care, urology, orthopedics, spine, neurosurgery, pain management, wound care, and podiatry. Physicians at Brizzolara Urology and Baptist Health Wound Care report saving two to three hours of charting per clinic day and moving 20 to 30 percent more patients through without extending hours. This kind of outsourcing arrangement gives independent and specialty practices the documentation support of a larger health system without the overhead. MedOptim scribes work inside whatever EMR the practice already uses: Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Tebra (formerly Kareo), Meditech, and Praxis. There is no new software to install, no integration project, and no learning curve for the practice. Pricing is structured as a daily rate per scribe. Because scribes are MedOptim employees, practices avoid W-2 obligations, recruiting costs, and training expenses on their own books. For medical practices across the USA considering outsourcing their clinical documentation, it is a low-friction path to reclaiming physician time and improving practice throughput. To get started, MedOptim begins with a single conversation about your specialty, patient volume, and EMR setup. Reach out to learn more or request a rate quote.
