Medica Billing Solutions vs. Veradigm Practice Management

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.

I have been using Allscripts Practice Management at Concentra for about 2.5 years after they acquired US Healthworks. It has been a revelation so much so that I forget what we used at USHW. I know that the system we had was not comprehensive enough that we had to still use paper files and we could not access any other providers' reports. Allscripts allows a group practice to access every report, imaging, and employer communcations for each patient. It's very powerful for a large multi-center medical practice. It would be too complicated for smaller groups.

Moving away from paper reports is a little hard at first like ripping off a bandaid, but once you're fully integrated, it's just so much easier to see all your work over time and access reports, schedules, and all pertinent employment information for each patient. Not having to deal with paper files just changes the office completely.

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

I'm actually not sure if we call Allscripts support or our own support team with superusers. There never seems to be a problem that can't be fixed right away. The biggest problem you can have is when you start a report when the patient hasn't been checked in. I know how to fix it myself now, but it takes a few minutes with support when you need them to back it out.

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.

Centricity is much more difficult to get support for in my experience.

• I am only a user but it's easy to assume that this program is very expensive.
• Access to reports across all providers is game-changing.
• Helping the patient navigate care by seeing not just reports but scheduled visits is also a major plus.
