I think anyone using Practice Fusion is crazy because of course something like this is bound to happen. It is a free program but they have to make money somewhere. When you get a 150,000+ providers people start thinking of different ways to utilize that base to capture additional revenue. There will be more things like this to come in my opinion.
Under ordinary business circumstances, the caution of "buyer beware" may be considered appropriate.
(doctors don't have time to read EULA's, and PF knows that) suggests opportunism rather than honorable intention.
This is true but they didn't "buy" anything which is the problem. Most people that are going to spend money do their research and the people that take things for free don't. There are exceptions but this is a general rule. Most of the people that did their research didn't sign up for Practice Fusion (not necessarily because of this but there are many other reasons as well). Practice Fusion knows this and they will continue to use this to their advantage.

I have a client who settled on PF after doing considerable research. When it came time for me to load his data into the PF database, I had to poke around in the program and learn stuff. I agreed with my client that PF was very intuitive for most functions it performed. The program was designed to make most things obvious.

But I did get the joke.
