Altos Solutions Inc

Altos Solutions Inc provides an integrated electronic health record and practice management platform designed specifically for small to mid-sized ambulatory care practices. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Fremont, California, the company focuses on delivering a comprehensive yet streamlined solution for outpatient healthcare providers who need essential clinical and administrative functionality without the complexity of enterprise-scale systems.

The Altos EHR system combines clinical documentation, practice management, electronic prescribing, and revenue cycle management into a unified platform. The system is built to handle the core workflows of ambulatory practices including patient scheduling, chart documentation, lab integration, billing, and claims management. The platform emphasizes usability and workflow efficiency, targeting practices that want a complete solution without requiring extensive customization or IT resources.

Altos Solutions maintains ONC 2015 Edition CEHRT certification, enabling practices to meet meaningful use and quality reporting requirements including MIPS/MACRA programs. The system includes EPCS certification for controlled substance prescribing and integrates with Surescripts for pharmacy connectivity. Lab integration capabilities include connections to major reference laboratories such as Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp, allowing for bidirectional results delivery.

The platform serves multiple medical specialties with tailored templates and workflows for family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, OB-GYN, and orthopedics. This specialty-specific approach allows practices to implement the system with documentation templates and order sets relevant to their clinical focus.

The integrated practice management module handles patient registration, scheduling, insurance verification, charge capture, claims submission, and payment posting within the same database as the clinical system. This tight integration reduces data entry duplication and allows clinical and administrative staff to work from a unified patient record.

The patient portal provides secure messaging, appointment requests, prescription refill requests, and access to medical records, supporting patient engagement requirements for quality programs. The billing functionality includes claims scrubbing, electronic remittance advice processing, and denial management tools.

Altos Solutions targets independent practices and small group practices typically ranging from 1 to 20 providers. The system is offered as a cloud-hosted subscription service, eliminating the need for practices to maintain on-premise servers or IT infrastructure. This deployment model provides predictable monthly costs and includes system updates, security patches, and technical support as part of the subscription.

The company's market position is as a value-oriented provider for smaller practices that need a complete ambulatory solution with straightforward implementation and ongoing support. While not competing at the enterprise level with systems like Epic or Cerner, Altos focuses on delivering essential functionality with a pricing structure and support model accessible to independent practices.
