Scribeable vs Athelas:
Athelas pairs its scribe with an EHR and a revenue-cycle business, and it advertises a long list of EHR integrations. Scribeable is a scribe a clinician can price and start today, with coding, calculators, and sources in the note.
Why Physicians Switch from Athelas
Athelas lists no prices for its Ambient AI scribe or Air EHR on athelas.com (Nov 2026)
Trial terms for "Try Ambient AI for free" are not published
HCC risk adjustment and clinical calculators are not stated on athelas.com/ambient-ai as of Nov 2026
A Scribe Inside a Bigger Platform
Athelas announced its merger with Commure in October 2023, and its site now presents the Ambient AI scribe next to Air, an AI EHR, and revenue-cycle tools. The scribe login points to ambient.commure.com. If you want one vendor for the EHR and billing as well as the note, that is the offer. Scribeable does one job, the note and what it decides, and works alongside the EHR you already have.
Coding Has Layers
Athelas says its scribe generates ICD-10 and CPT codes and modifiers. Scribeable Pro also puts ICD-10 codes in the note, each with its supporting text, and sets the E&M level. It adds HCC V28 capture against an 8,000+ entry crosswalk and 236 calculators scored in code. HCC and calculators are not stated on athelas.com/ambient-ai as of Nov 2026.
Same Patient. Same Encounter.
See why physicians say Scribeable notes are “actually usable” — with integrated risk scores, billing codes, and clinical reasoning that typical AI scribes simply don’t generate.
HPI
62 y/o male presents with chest pain for 2 hours. Substernal, pressure-like, radiating to left arm. Associated with diaphoresis and shortness of breath. Pain started while climbing stairs. Patient has history of HTN, DM2, and hyperlipidemia. Takes lisinopril, metformin, and atorvastatin. Denies recent illness or trauma.
Assessment & Plan

Patient scenarios are entirely fictional. Clinical notes should always be reviewed by a licensed provider.
AI Medical Scribe Note Quality Comparison
Scribeable produces clinically enriched notes with integrated risk calculators (HEART Score, CHA₂DS₂-VASc, Wells PE, PHQ-9, Caprini VTE), automated billing code optimization (E&M levels, HCC/RAF capture, CPT codes), dangerous diagnosis exclusion documentation, evidence-based prescribing citations, CMS compliance for operative reports, HEDIS care gap tracking, and MIPS quality measure documentation. Typical AI scribes produce basic notes without these advanced clinical features.
ED Chest Pain: 62-year-old male presenting with substernal chest pressure, diaphoresis, and exertional dyspnea
HPI: 62 y/o male presents with 2 hours of substernal chest pressure, rated 8/10, radiating to left arm and jaw. Onset during exertion (climbing stairs).

Risk factors: HTN (10 years), DM2 (8 years), hyperlipidemia, 30-pack-year smoking history (quit 5 years ago), family history of MI (father at age 58). Current medications: lisinopril 20mg daily, metformin 1000mg BID, atorvastatin 40mg daily. Denies cocaine use, recent immobilization, or prior VTE.
Assessment & Plan: 1. Acute Chest Pain — High-risk presentation HEART Score: 7 (High Risk) - History: moderately suspicious (2), EKG: non-specific ST changes (1), Age: >65 (2), Risk factors: ≥3 (2), Troponin: pending initial (0) - Risk stratification: >12% 6-week MACE event rate → full ACS workup - Serial troponins q3h, 12-lead EKG (initial + repeat at 60 min) - ASA 325mg PO administered, heparin drip per ACS protocol - Cardiology consulted for probable cath lab activation Dangerous Diagnosis Exclusion: - STEMI: No ST elevation on initial EKG — serial monitoring - Aortic dissection: No tearing quality, no pulse differential, no mediastinal widening on CXR - PE: Low pretest probability (Wells PE: 1.5) — no immobilization, no prior VTE, no hemoptysis 2. Hypertension — BP 168/94 on arrival, improved to 142/88 post-NTG - Continue home lisinopril, recheck prior to disposition 3. DM2 — Glucose 186 on arrival - Hold metformin (contrast exposure risk), sliding scale insulin PRN
Cardiology Consult: 71-year-old female with new-onset atrial fibrillation and decompensated heart failure
HPI: 71 y/o female with known HFrEF (EF 35% on TTE 6 months ago), HTN, DM2, and CKD Stage 3a (baseline Cr 1.4), consulted for new-onset atrial fibrillation with RVR. Progressive exertional dyspnea (NYHA II → IV over 2 weeks), 3-pillow orthopnea (new), PND, and 4+ pitting edema to knees bilaterally. Weight gain of 8 lbs over 2 weeks. Triggers explored: dietary indiscretion (holiday meals), medication non-adherence (ran out of furosemide 10 days ago). No prior AF history, no palpitations previously. Denies chest pain, syncope, or presyncope.
Assessment & Plan: Reason for Consult: New-onset atrial fibrillation with RVR in setting of acute decompensated HFrEF. Requesting Service: Internal Medicine (Dr. Patel) 1. New-onset Atrial Fibrillation with RVR CHA₂DS₂-VASc Score: 5 (Female sex, age ≥75, HTN, DM, HF) - Stroke risk: 6.7%/year → strong anticoagulation indication - Rate control: avoid diltiazem (negative inotropy in HFrEF) → amiodarone 150mg IV bolus then 1mg/min × 6h - Anticoagulation: apixaban 5mg BID (preferred over warfarin given age + fall risk) - TEE prior to any cardioversion attempt if AF duration uncertain - HAS-BLED: 2 (HTN, age) — acceptable bleeding risk 2. Acute Decompensated Heart Failure (ADHF) NYHA Functional Class: IV (dyspnea at rest) - IV furosemide 80mg BID (2.5× home oral dose), net negative 1-1.5L/day - Carvedilol held (acute decompensation), restart when euvolemic - Add sacubitril/valsartan when stable (PARADIGM-HF indication: EF ≤40% on ACEi) - BNP trend: 1,840 → monitor for response to diuresis 3. CKD Stage 3a — Cr 1.4 (baseline), monitor with aggressive diuresis - KDIGO risk: moderate — monitor Cr/K daily with diuresis

PT: Initiate POD0 PM — CPM machine, active/passive ROM, gait training 6. Follow-up: 2 weeks (staple removal + wound check), 6 weeks (X-ray + ROM assessment) 7. VTE Risk: Caprini Score 7 (High Risk) — extended pharmacologic prophylaxis indicated
