The job
Providers use the Heidi AI scribe to record the visit and draft the note, which they check and paste into the records system. Some dictate a full note to it as they would to a human transcriptionist. The team keeps refining templates as billing requirements change.

What happened
The practice has almost stopped spending about $450,000 a year on nine contracted transcriptionists.
The orthopaedic surgeon who led the trial puts the per provider cost at 13 to 15 times lower. Heidi has produced 61,000 notes and documents from 600,000 minutes transcribed. There are 27 active users and 91% provider adoption over six months. The practice sees about 100,000 visits a year.
Before you believe it
Heidi wrote the story, so it is a vendor story. The cost figure is the old transcription bill and the page does not give what Heidi costs the practice. Total staff is not stated, only 31 providers. The practice handles about 100,000 visits a year. Every note still needs the clinician's review.
