Based on the search results, here’s what I found regarding Bibb Medical Center and athenahealth:

  • Ivy Clinicians Job Board: Mentions that Bibb Medical Center uses both “athenahealth, Avid” for their EHR (based on information from 2025).

  • Springfield Clinic EHR transition: Springfield Clinic changed to athenahealth and has a patient portal, in 2024.

    • Athenahealth was acquired by Bain Capital and Hellman & Friedman in February 2022.
  • ExpEDIum Medical Billing Case Study: Bibb Medical Center used Expedia Medical Billing for processing UB-04 claims between Oct 2015 and August 2018, until they migrated to a different EMR/HIS/HMS system with UB04 support.

Privacy Policy Review:

  • Bibb Medical Center’s Privacy Policy mentions the use of business associates, to whom they may disclose health information. However, it does not specifically name athenahealth.

Domain Search:

  • Searching site:bibbmedicalcenter.com athenahealth.com and site:bibbmedicalcenter.com athenaone yielded no direct results, indicating that Bibb Medical Center doesn’t directly host athenahealth patient portal or related services on its primary domain.

Additional Notes:

  • Several search results mention athenahealth as an EHR system.
  • Cahaba Medical Care Foundation has locations in Bibb County and lists athenahealth in the job search website, Indeed.
  • veEDIS was implemented in 2012 as an advanced emergency room management software.
  • The Bibb County Health Care Authority also owns Bibb Nursing Home and Bibb Medical Associates (2024).

Conclusion:

Based on the “Ivy Clinicians Job Board” website information, it appears that Bibb Medical Center uses athenahealth, alongside Avid.

Therefore, based on the search results, Bibb Medical Center does use athenahealth as one of their EMR systems.

Based on the search results, here’s what I found regarding Bibb Medical Center’s EMR system:

  • veEDIS in the Emergency Department (2012): A press release from 2012 states that Bibb Medical Center implemented veEDIS for emergency room management. This suggests that at least in 2012, they were using veEDIS for their emergency department EMR needs. It is possible they have transitioned to athenahealth since this date.
  • expEDIum Medical Billing Case Study (2022): This case study mentions that Bibb Medical Center was migrating to another EMR/HMS/HIS software and using expEDIum Medical Billing during the transition.
  • General Mentions: Several of the search results mention Bibb Medical Center in the context of healthcare services in Alabama but do not specify their EMR system.

  • In 2022, Bibb Medical Center was migrating to a new EMR/HMS/HIS
