AI Scribe for Small Practice Teams
A per-provider AI scribe your whole small practice can actually afford. Mix plans by caseload, keep your existing EHR, and give every clinician the same clean SOAP note in about two minutes.
HIPAA compliant. BAA available. First 20 notes free, no credit card—pilot it across a couple of providers first.
The documentation problem for small practices
In a 2-10 provider clinic there is no one to absorb the charting. A primary-care or urgent-care provider sees roughly 15 to 30-plus encounters a day, and documentation eats close to a third of that day. In a hospital system that load gets spread across scribes and support staff. In a small family-medicine group, a small multi-specialty or urgent-care office, or a small behavioral-health group, it lands squarely on the clinicians—so charting follows everyone home.
The usual fixes do not fit a small practice. A human scribe runs roughly $32,000 to $42,000 per provider per year; you cannot staff that across a whole team on thin margins. Most AI scribes quote a flat rate around $90 to $110 per provider per month and expect every seat to look the same—which overcharges the part-time NP and the PRN clinician who barely document some weeks. And ripping out your EHR for a bundled suite is a non-starter when there is no IT staff to run the project.
There is also the consistency problem. When every provider charts differently, notes are harder to bill against the right E/M level and messier to defend in an audit. A small group needs documentation that is fast, uniform across clinicians, and priced so it works for a full panel and a part-timer alike.
Per-provider economics, not flat per-seat
The wedge for a small group: match each clinician to the tier that fits their caseload instead of paying the same seat price for everyone.
| Provider profile | Fitting SOAPNoteAI tier |
|---|---|
| Full-load physician / NP (unlimited audio notes) | Standard — $69/mo (or $600/yr), no note caps |
| Provider who also types or uses shorthand | Pro — $79/mo (or $700/yr), adds typed/shorthand text |
| Part-time / low-volume provider (~30 notes/mo) | Lite — $29/mo (or $200/yr), 30 audio notes |
| Locum / PRN covering a few shifts | One-time credit pack from $59, no subscription |
| Evaluating before a team commit | First 20 notes free, no credit card |
Picture a five-provider clinic: three full-load clinicians on Standard and two part-timers on Lite. That mix comes in well under a flat ~$90-110 per-seat tool applied to all five—and far under a human scribe at $32k-$42k per provider a year. Because SOAPNoteAI charges per note or per plan rather than per visit or per minute, your monthly cost stays predictable, which is exactly what a margin-thin small practice needs to budget. Used every visit, most providers cover the cost within the first billing cycle in recovered charting time.

How SOAPNoteAI fits a small team
No migration, no IT project, no hardware. It works alongside the EHR you already run.
Keep your existing EHR
Works with athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Practice Fusion, DrChrono, Tebra/Kareo, AdvancedMD, NextGen Office and more. Providers document on web, iOS, or the Chrome extension and paste the finished note into your chart—no system to rip out.
Every input mode a busy clinic uses
Dictate a recap, record an in-person or telehealth visit up to two hours, upload audio, or type shorthand on Pro. The AI returns a structured SOAP note in about two minutes, ready to review before it touches the chart.
Standardized notes across providers
Every clinician produces the same SOAP structure (plus DAP/BIRP for behavioral-health groups), so notes are uniform, easier to bill against the right E/M level, and cleaner in an audit.
1-click SimplePractice sync for BH groups
Small behavioral-health groups on SimplePractice get a Chrome extension that drops each SOAP section into the matching appointment-note field in one click.
Dictate without recording the visit
Small offices often have thin walls and shared rooms. With dictation mode, a provider can skip recording the encounter entirely and instead dictate a short recap afterward—the AI builds the SOAP note from that. It is a privacy lever many ambient scribes do not offer, and it lets clinicians who are uncomfortable recording a live visit still get the time savings. A signed BAA and HIPAA-grade encryption apply either way.
Refine any draft by talking or typing to Penny
Once a note is drafted, any clinician on the team can talk or type to Penny—SOAPNoteAI’s built-in documentation assistant—to add something they forgot, fill in a detail they missed, or reassign a statement to the right person, and it folds the change into the note. Penny can also answer questions about a note and generate related documents like treatment plans, referral letters, and visit summaries, so a small team keeps every chart complete without staying late.

Straightforward, per-provider pricing
Lite $29/mo (or $200/yr, 30 audio notes), Standard $69/mo (or $600/yr, unlimited audio), Pro $79/mo (or $700/yr, adds typed/shorthand). One-time credit packs from $59, no subscription. Every plan is HIPAA compliant and includes a signed BAA, and your first 20 notes are free with no credit card—so the office can trial across a couple of providers before the team commits.
Who it is for
Small groups of physicians, NPs, and PAs who evaluate a scribe for the whole team—not just one clinician.
Small primary care & family medicine groups
High-encounter days across a handful of providers. Standardized SOAP notes that support the billed E/M level, with each clinician on the tier that fits their panel. See our family medicine SOAP guide for structure.
Small multi-specialty & urgent-care groups
Fast-turnover visits where documentation cannot wait until after close. Unlimited-audio tiers keep high-volume providers moving with no note caps.
Small pediatric groups
Well-child and sick visits documented in a consistent format across every provider, without staying late to chart.
Small behavioral-health group practices
SOAP plus DAP and BIRP formats, with 1-click sync for teams charting in SimplePractice. Dictation mode adds a privacy option for shared-office settings.

Frequently Asked Questions
SOAPNoteAI is priced per provider, and a small practice can mix tiers by caseload instead of paying one flat per-seat rate. Lite is $29/mo (or $200/yr) for 30 audio notes—good for part-time or low-volume providers. Standard is $69/mo for unlimited audio notes (or $600/yr) for full-load providers. Pro is $79/mo (or $700/yr) and adds typed/shorthand text input. One-time credit packs start at $59 for locums or PRN coverage. Most competing AI scribes charge a flat ~$90-110 per provider per month, so a 2-10 provider group with a mix of full- and part-time clinicians usually pays less by matching each provider to the right tier.
No. That is the point of the per-provider model. Your two full-time physicians can run Standard for unlimited audio notes, a part-time NP can run Lite, and a PRN or locum covering a few shifts can use a one-time credit pack from $59 with no subscription. You are not forced to buy the same seat for every clinician, which is what makes SOAPNoteAI workable for a margin-thin small group rather than a flat per-seat tool built for large organizations.
You keep your EHR. SOAPNoteAI works alongside athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Practice Fusion, DrChrono, Tebra/Kareo, AdvancedMD, NextGen Office and others—no migration, no new hardware, no IT project. Providers document on web, iOS, or the Chrome extension and paste the finished SOAP note into your existing chart. Small behavioral-health groups on SimplePractice get an extra convenience: a one-click sync that drops each of the four SOAP sections into the matching appointment-note fields.
Yes. SOAPNoteAI is HIPAA compliant, with patient data encrypted in transit and at rest, and we sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with your practice—table stakes for a multi-provider organization. You do not need real patient identifiers to evaluate it: your first 20 notes are free with no credit card, so an office can pilot across a couple of providers before committing the whole team.
Yes. Small BH group practices are a strong fit. SOAPNoteAI supports SOAP plus DAP and BIRP—the behavioral-health progress-note formats—so your clinicians document in the format your notes require, and the free Chrome extension syncs each section into a SimplePractice appointment note in one click. See the dedicated SimplePractice page for how the sync works; this page focuses on the team and per-provider economics.
Every provider using SOAPNoteAI produces the same structured SOAP output (or DAP/BIRP for behavioral health), so a 2-10 provider group is not stuck with 'every clinician charts differently.' Consistent, complete notes make it easier to support the billed E/M level, reduce under-coding, and hold up in an audit. Providers can dictate a recap without recording the visit, record in-person or telehealth sessions up to two hours, upload audio, or type shorthand—and the note comes out in the same reviewable structure every time.
Yes. Every draft comes with Penny, SOAPNoteAI's built-in AI documentation assistant, and any clinician on the team can talk or type to it to refine the note. If a provider forgot a detail, missed part of the session, or needs to reassign a statement to the right person, they just tell Penny and it folds the change into the note—no re-recording required. Penny can also answer questions about a note and generate related documents like treatment plans, referral letters, and visit summaries.
