In a doctor's office, free electronic medical records (EMRs) are the digital equivalents of paper records or charts. EHRs, or electronic health records, is another name for them. Medical billing companies employ either free or commercial electronic medical records software, depending on the requirements.

They usually contain generic medical information about a patient acquired by the individual medical practice, such as therapy and medical history. BellMedEx announces the release of their free electronic medical record software, which aids with medical billing.
