Case Study: Associates in Medicine achieves up to 30% higher E&M revenue with CompuGroup Medical's CGM APRIMA EHR

Internal Medicine Group Expectations Exceeded by CGM APRIMA EHR

Associates in Medicine (AIM), an eight‑physician internal medicine practice in Houston, struggled after a failed 2008 EHR rollout caused by poor training and unmet expectations. Prioritizing usability and flexibility, they hired an implementation lead, evaluated options, and selected CGM APRIMA to avoid repeating past mistakes.

A phased rollout of CGM APRIMA with targeted, staggered training minimized disruption and put physicians using the optional E&M coder. Within months some providers saw 10–30% higher E&M allowables (projected at $40,000–$60,000 additional billing per provider annually), with an overall projected 5–10% revenue increase, reduced charting costs, improved management visibility, and all eight doctors achieving Meaningful Use.
