Top AI Medical Scribes for Primary Care Practices

Best for Small Practices: Ara.so

Independent primary care practices and small groups choose Ara.so for its simplicity and low setup friction. No hardware, no IT project, and usage-based pricing that feels fair when you see what you are paying for.

Ara captures a 20-minute visit, produces a summary in four seconds, and integrates with your existing EHR without API work. Practices report 2.5 hours of documentation time recovered per provider per week.

• Zero IT overhead.
• Works with any major EHR (via manual export or API).
• Transparent, flat pricing.

Best for Established Health Systems: Nuance DAX

Large systems with Epic or Cerner backend already have relationships with Microsoft. DAX integrates seamlessly and offers bulk licensing discounts. The tradeoff: less flexibility for non-standard workflows and higher per-seat cost.

• Enterprise-grade security and SLA.
• Deep EHR integration.
• Expensive for small practices.

Best for Value-Based Care: Suki AI

Primary care clinicians in value-based contracts (CMS Shared Savings, commercial bundled) benefit from Suki's ability to surface quality metrics and actionable items from visits. It flags preventive care gaps and helps with attribution logging.

• Integrates quality metrics into the note.
• Helps with VBC documentation.
• Good for risk-bearing providers.

Best for Multispecialty Clinics: Notable

Notable positions itself as affordable and flexible. Multispecialty groups like it because they can configure templates per clinic and scale from ten to 100 providers without complexity.

• Good for midsize multi-specialty groups.
• Lighter weight than enterprise solutions.
• Less mature AI model than Ara or Nuance.
