AdvancedPM, by AdvancedMD vs. Medica Billing Solutions

AdvancedMD is appropriate for businesses that desire carte blanche access to the data contained in their entity's database. This is a great system for companies that are data/analytics driven. Unfortunately, the main drawback of the system (inability to accurately track deposit dates of payments) is a CRUCIAL FLAW. If a business is interested in a SIMPLE monthly reconciliation to their bank account, you will struggle with AdvancedMD.

They are well suited for private practice physical therapy outpatient clinics with 4-8 therapists but with larger numbers like 20 PTs it may require more staff. They have done a great job with our size of 4 PTs and 1 PTA. They communicate quickly in request for information.

• Just recently we had an incident in which none of our employees could access the training.advancemd.com training materials. After extensive trouble shooting it was determined the issue was not with the local network, PC configuration, or firewalling. The AdvanceMD support personnel were not empowered to escalate this case as it should have been. Ultimately a correction in the server configuration for the training materials cleared up the issue, but not with assistance from Tier 1 support personnel.
• Integration with the scanners can be problematic and has been a headache. Even with the Fujitsu scanners, the best in the business, we had challenges and found that some of the Tier 1 support staff were not trained or did not have access to the necessary documentation to fix the issue. The issues were eventually resolved but not without time lost in the process.

Overall, I think ADP AdvancedMD is very user friendly and constantly improves as new releases come out.

I've only reached out a couple of times and after being bounced around a few times I simply asked for our internal team to look into the particular question I had. I believe they had some turnover at the time but my experience wasn't great.

I am giving this rating due to their effectiveness, overall job performance promptness with improved reimbursement percentage since beginning with them in 2015. They have been a great company to work with and they are on top of their market and the needs of their customers. Their staff has been a great asset for our company

The only benefit (which ended up being false for us) was the price point. By theory, it is capable of quite a lot, but sadly we never got that far to even be able to try it. We are just paying for a system we are 100% unable to utilize. We ended up staying with our current EHR and will reevaluate it down the road. Definitely will never seek AdvancedMD again.

External billing company that was local but they weren't as well versed in the current billing issues that have been in flux due to constant changes from insurance companies every year. They are superior and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a highly effective and great company that communicates quickly with their customers.
