Why Buy McKesson Medisoft from a VAR?

McKesson Medisoft is among the most popular and affordable EMR (electronic patient records) solutions and medical billing solutions currently on the market. The software is available both directly from the company and through one of McKesson’s network of value added resellers? Medisoft advises most practices to purchase their software through one of their VAR partners for a number of reasons. Here’s why you should purchase your installation of Medisoft EMR software from a value-added reseller.
You Will Not Pay More for the Software
Yes, we know. The conventional wisdom is that you’ll always save money on everything when you buy it directly from the source. There are certain situations where that’s simply not true, and buying Medisoft from a certified VAR partner is one of those situations. In most cases, you will not pay any more for the software than if you bought it directly from McKesson because McKesson sells to its partners at a significant discount. That gives each VAR a great deal of flexibility in setting the price for the Medisoft software, with and without their own bundled services.
VAR Stands for VALUE ADDED
One of the key parts of the certified VAR program is the value that’s added by each McKesson Medisoft partner. The actual “value” varies from one reseller to the next. It may take the form of bundled products, special services, personalized training, hardware and networking support and on-site support. When choosing a VAR from which to buy, keep these considerations in mind:

• If onsite support and installation is important to you, choose a Medisoft reseller that’s local to you. It’s easy to find McKesson Medisoft resellers by zip code from the official Medisoft websites.
• Think of the VAR you choose as a prospective long-term partner in your practice. Do some research to help you decide which companies you’re most comfortable working with on a long-term basis.
• One way to evaluate whether a VAR will be a good partner for you is to ask for help choosing the right Medisoft EMR and billing solution for your practice. Do they steer you toward bundles that suit your needs and your budget or are they more interested in upselling you to their more profitable products?
• Always check to make sure you’re dealing with an authorized Medisoft reseller.

McKesson Medisoft offers a great deal of value for small to medium health care practices right out of the box. When you purchase Medisoft from a VAR, you’ll get even more value for your money.
