I have a request of the net which I'm pretty sure hasn't been discussed in
the several years I have been following this newsgroup.  Of course, I might
be wrong.

I am in need of some information on medical software which will be used in a
doctor's office.  What I need it to do is scheduling, billing, patient record
keeping, and many other tasks.  These will eventually include the sending
of insurance claims electronically.

I have access to the Apple Vertical Product Directory, and it lists a ton
of applications/packages that do all of this.  I would really appreciate it
if someone could point me to a review of some of these applications so I
can make the right decision.  These packages are all pretty expensive, so
buying the wrong one will be a waste.  Also, any personal experiences with
this type of software would be welcomed, as will experiences with the support
that the vendors supply.

If a more detailed description of what I'm asking is necessary, don't
hesitate to email me.

Thanks a bunch in advance.
