AI agents

AI-native from the ground up, not bolted onto legacy infrastructure

athenahealth offers rules-based claim scrubbing and workflow automation built over decades of revenue cycle expertise. These tools are effective for catching common billing errors before submission. However, they do not include ambient clinical scribing, AI-generated billing-code suggestions from visit documentation, or automated denial resolution that identifies denial reason codes and resubmits corrected claims.

Trustro's three AI agents — Scribe, Suggest, and Agent — operate inside the clinical workflow, not alongside it. Scribe drafts structured SOAP notes from visit audio. Suggest reads your documentation and recommends CPT and ICD-10 codes matched to payer-specific rules. Agent resolves denied claims by identifying the reason, correcting the submission, and resubmitting. The practitioner always has final sign-off.

Implementation and pricing

Live in days, not months — with pricing you can forecast

athenahealth implementations typically span three to six months for multi-location groups, involving extensive configuration, data migration, and training cycles. Pricing is commonly structured as a percentage of collections, which can make total cost difficult to predict and creates misaligned incentives as your revenue grows.

Trustro assigns a dedicated implementation manager to every migration. Patient records, appointment history, insurance policies, and templates are imported into a sandbox environment for validation before cutover. Most clinics complete the full migration in under 14 days. Pricing is a flat per-practitioner rate — no percentage of collections, no hidden fees, no cost that scales with your success.

Multi-language

Arabic, Spanish, and English — not a translation layer

athenahealth's patient-facing communications are primarily English-focused. Practices serving multilingual patient populations often rely on external translation services or manual workarounds for intake forms, appointment reminders, and portal communications.

Trustro supports English, Spanish, and Arabic (with full RTL layout) across the patient portal, intake forms, appointment reminders, and statement communications. The interface was designed bidirectionally from the start — not retrofitted with a translation layer.
