SimplePractice vs. Tebra Billing & Payments

This is the first EHR platform I used. It is very professionally done with an aesthetically pleasing interface and has broad functionality. I would recommend it to a colleague who is a single practitioner with a small solo practice. I would not, however, recommend it to a group practice owner as I have found many alternatives that are just as good for a noticeable pricing difference with SimplePractice’s new fee structure.

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.

• Easy client interface
• Telehealth

• 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.

• Not being able to add 2 therapists to a client
• Having a steep learning curve to figure out where all the features were located
• Increased pricing with forced features that I did not plan to ever use
• Not having IvyPay as a payment option
• Only having one way calendar sync

Incentivized

• 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!

I have not had to contact support which is nice. If I have a question, I am typically able to find the answer within the help section.

Also Kalix, Practice Better, Practice Q (formerly Intake Q), Healthie, Jane, etc. I'm hoping to switch to Practice Q soon.

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-

• Not overly expensive to use.
• No drawbacks.

• Kareo had an overall low return on investment.
• Despite the software being active at our company, we were forced to transition to a different solution within 6-months of implementation.
• The time spent attempting to reconcile the system to itself was rather wasteful.
