Ethical Profile

Mixed.

TruBridge, Inc. faces scrutiny over its ethical practices. The company allegedly overbilled customers in 2023 and Q1 2024, leading to significant financial adjustments and identified control deficiencies. Critics point to a lack of transparency regarding the discovery of these issues. While TruBridge holds ISO 27001 certification and employs robust cybersecurity measures like a Security Operations Center, it reported a data breach in January 2025 affecting 3,855 individuals' patient account information. Environmentally, reports suggest only 1% of its energy comes from renewables, with significant carbon emissions (221,662 tCO2e from purchased goods), and a lack of public reduction targets.
