Only if their customers can document, attest, and verify that they meet the standards for Meaningful Use as required by federal law to receive their subsidies. And this can be a considerable burden for the smaller practices that DrChrono targets.
Plus consolidation within the industry means their market is shrinking as larger hospital systems buy up small practices and move fold them into to their hospital-grade EMR systems such as Epic, Cerner, and MEDITECH - all while these larger EMR companies are concurrently giving their products to small practices in order to become regional standards.
Plus, for those remaining practices they have a LOT of competition - there are literally thousands of outpatient EMR solutions, including Practice Fusion, which is well established and free, meaning providers can pocket the subsidies.
DrChrono is a great technology, but don't think they don't face their own challenges.
