Am I paying for software nobody uses in our healthcare practice?
If you run a healthcare practice, a software cost review finds the forgotten subscriptions draining your budget each month.
You run a healthcare practice. Every month, charges pop up for software someone signed up for years ago. Nobody remembers why or who uses these tools anymore. The bill keeps growing. Canceling feels like a gamble, but ignoring it just burns cash.
Healthcare practices often pay for software nobody uses. Think about your own tools: an EHR, a billing system, a telehealth platform, a scheduling app, a patient portal. Some of these likely overlap. Maybe a staff member signed up for a free trial years ago and never canceled. The subscription renews quietly. You end up with three tools doing the work of two or four doing three. That’s waste hiding in plain sight.
The fix is simpler than you think. Pull twelve months of bank statements. List every software line item. Then match each charge to someone who logged in within the last thirty days. No owner, no renewal. For a mid-sized practice, this review often turns up thousands a year in needless bills. Even a small clinic can save hundreds. The exact total depends on how many departments and licenses you have, but the method always finds fat to trim.
Start this week. Ask your bank for a twelve-month transaction report. Highlight anything that looks like a software subscription. Then talk to your team. Find out which tools they actually use. If a subscription has no clear user, cancel it. If you’d rather have expert help, Scott Gerke at FocusDude will go through your statements with you. One focused session catches waste you might overlook and typically recovers four figures for a practice.
Once the review is done, every line on your statement has a job. You know what you pay for and who uses it. No more mystery charges. No more software collecting dust. The money you save goes straight to what matters most: patient care, better equipment, or a healthier bottom line.

Some tools AI replaces outright, some it makes cheaper tiers workable, some you should keep. The test is whether the tool holds your data hostage. A cost review maps which is which for your stack.
