Modernizing Medicine's EMA platform (often called ModMed) is built for specialty practices — dermatology, orthopedics, ophthalmology, and related fields that rely on structured specialty templates, procedure documentation, and fast clinic throughput.
Augustun's ModMed / EMA integration adds ambient AI on top of that workflow. Listen during the visit, draft specialty-aware clinical notes, suggest ICD-10 and CPT codes with rationale, and push finished documentation into EMA with one click via a lightweight browser extension.
This guide covers how the Augustun + ModMed workflow works, who benefits most, and how specialty clinics go live without a months-long IT project.
What Is ModMed (Modernizing Medicine EMA)?
Modernizing Medicine builds specialty EHR and practice management software. EMA is the clinical documentation environment many dermatology, ortho, and other specialty clinics use for structured visit notes, procedures, and coding support tailored to specialty workflows.
Specialty templates save time when they match the visit — and create backlog when clinicians still type every finding between patients. An AI scribe that only produces a generic draft outside EMA still leaves reformatting and field mapping to the clinician.
Built for specialty EMA workflows
Augustun does not ask you to leave ModMed. It runs alongside the web-based EMA session you already use, then writes completed notes and codes back into the specialty chart.
How Augustun Integrates With ModMed EMA
The Augustun + Modernizing Medicine (EMA) integration uses a browser extension. Install it, open EMA as usual, and push reviewed notes into the chart fields your specialty templates expect.
- 1Install in EMA. Add the Augustun browser extension, sign in, and open your ModMed session.
- 2Record the encounter. Capture in-person or telehealth visits in the background. Audio is processed and discarded; recordings are never stored.
- 3One-click push to ModMed. After you review the draft, the completed note plus ICD-10 and CPT suggestions land in the right EMA fields.
Most specialty clinics are live in under 10 minutes. There is no requirement to wait for a custom API engagement before a single clinician can try ambient documentation.
What You Get With Augustun Inside ModMed
| Capability | In the ModMed EMA chart |
|---|---|
| AI scribe for ModMed | Listens to the visit, drafts specialty-aware notes, and pushes into the patient chart. |
| ICD-10 & CPT with rationale | Codes tied to the transcript, ready for clinician or biller review — critical for procedure-heavy specialties. |
| Specialty template adaptation | Learns dermatology, ortho, and other specialty note structures your team already uses. |
| HIPAA & GDPR compliant | Recording processed and discarded. PHI never leaves your account boundary and is never used to train models. |
Who Benefits Most From Augustun + ModMed
- Dermatology clinics documenting dense exam and procedure notes in EMA
- Orthopedic and musculoskeletal practices with high visit and procedure volume
- Ophthalmology and other ModMed specialties that need structured notes without after-hours typing
- Multi-provider specialty groups standardizing documentation quality in EMA
- Hybrid in-person and telehealth specialty schedules where notes must land in the same ModMed chart
A Typical Specialty Visit: From Conversation to EMA Chart
- 1Open the patient chart in ModMed EMA and start ambient capture.
- 2Conduct the visit naturally — history, exam findings, procedures, counseling, and follow-up plans.
- 3Review the specialty-aware draft while details are still fresh.
- 4Confirm or adjust ICD-10 and CPT suggestions with transcript-linked rationale.
- 5One-click push into EMA. Move to the next patient without rebuilding specialty templates by hand.
Why Specialty Coding Matters in ModMed
Specialty practices often bill procedures and E/M services that depend on precise documentation. A polished narrative without defensible ICD-10 and CPT still creates queries and denial risk.
Augustun includes coding in the same delivery path. Suggestions come with rationale tied to the transcript, so clinicians and billers can verify codes before claims leave ModMed.
Augustun vs Copy-Paste Scribes for ModMed Users
| Question | Augustun + ModMed | Generic AI scribe |
|---|---|---|
| Where does the note land? | One-click push into EMA chart fields | Often a separate draft requiring copy-paste |
| Specialty note fit | Adapts to EMA specialty structures | Often one generic primary-care note shape |
| ICD-10 / CPT included? | Yes, with transcript-linked rationale | Sometimes narrative only |
| Setup friction | Browser extension; live in minutes | May require manual transfer every visit |
| Compliance | HIPAA + GDPR; recordings not stored | Varies; confirm storage and training policies |
