When it comes to EHR integration, both Biscom and RingCentral offer valuable features to enhance healthcare communication.
Biscom
Biscom’s enterprise fax solution takes convenience a step further by seamlessly integrating with Epic’s electronic health record (EHR) system. This integration allows quick faxing directly from patient records, offering efficiency in healthcare workflows. Additionally, Biscom provides an API that developers can configure to integrate with existing EHR or EMR systems, providing flexibility and customization.
RingCentral
RingCentral demonstrates its commitment to healthcare communication by integrating with various EHR and patient engagement systems, including platforms like MediYeti and PatientXpress. This broad integration capability ensures compatibility with diverse healthcare environments.
When it comes to digital signatures, both Biscom and RingCentral present some limitations.
Biscom, while offering functionalities like fax annotation and preview, lacks built-in support for digital signatures. Users looking to add electronic signatures to their documents will need to utilize an external program for this purpose.
Similarly, RingCentral does not provide a native option for adding eSignatures directly within the platform. To include an electronic signature, users must sign the document beforehand and then import it into the RingCentral platform.
When it comes to how much they cost, RingCentral and Biscom do things a bit differently.
RingCentral
The monthly subscription for 3000 faxes on RingCentral costs $27.99 for each user. If you pay for a whole year at once, it’s a bit cheaper each month. If you want a complete communication suite with messaging, phone calls, and video, subscribe to RingCentral MVP Standard for $17.99 per month per user when you pay for a whole year. RingCentral offers a free trial, but needs a valid payment method to activate it.
Biscom
Biscom’s prices depend on what you need for faxing. It offers personalized plans, so you only pay for what you use.
Biscom:
Biscom’s website says it lets users receive faxes with a local and toll-free number. However, it doesn’t mention whether it assigns these numbers upon signup or if you need to port your current number into the service.
RingCentral
As a Biscom alternative, RingCentral lets you select from local, vanity, and toll-free numbers. Vanity numbers cost a one-time $30 setup fee. If you upgrade your plan from RingCentral Fax to RingCentral MVP, you can use the same number to receive both faxes and voice calls. It also supports number porting.
