Tebra Practice Management (formerly Kareo) provides cloud-based management and billing solutions for small medical offices. Some key features include: Patient Management, Scheduler & Patient Reminders, Insurance Billing & Reporting, and Patient Billing & Collections.
It is fantastic for any office that has more that one location. It takes away the lagging server problem and allows you to see schedules in all locations individually or together. You have the capability of running everything as one office but also separating them internally. Patients love the flexibility of moving between offices seamlessly. No more forwarding over records to one of your other locations.
In my experience, problems with them adding incorrect fees to pad their bills coupled with their unethical business practices such as locking you out from accessing your EMR at the drop of a hat prevent me from recommending Kareo to any practice. Reliability is paramount. Kareo's use of unethical business practices (locking you out from your EMR or disabling your EMR all together) can result in a physician being sanctioned by the medical board (inappropriate medical record keeping) or financially destroy a small practice leaving them with NO ACCESS to their ERAs/patient billing accounts etc leads me to NOT reccomend their products or doing business with them.
Kareo stays up to date on insurance changes which allow for smooth transitions.
Kareo asks for feedback and has a place to go and request changes or additions that would make our job easier.
I love that you can submit a help ticket or call, if you prefer, with any questions or problems that you may have. They are always very prompt with their follow up.
Kareo support is not the most timely. I have to wait far longer too many days than I should when the occasional problem arises.
Kareo does not have a connection with one certain clearing house (Jopari )that would make me able to submit some additional claims electronically.
Kareo used to have the ability to have an expected amount for each insurance in a table that let me know instantly if one particular payment paid less than expected. They took away that tool.
Kareo Medical Billing is very user friendly and the support they provide allows users to get their questions answered quickly and efficiently. The wait time to receive help is usually pretty good and most of the time we can ger our questions answered. We have found that is the tech help is unable to answer our question, they will attempt to find a colleague who is able to help!
We evaluated Carestack software but found it far too complicated and too many steps to do. It was lacking the ease of use that Curve Hero has. We were looking for something that was user-friendly and easy to understand Curve Hero had all of that.
Lackluster...at best? I have no words, honestly other than I was charged 5K up front for a one year subscription and I still can't receive refill requests or send labs directly. It's been a nightmare, from beginning to current. Currently attempting to just get out of my contract altogether-
