Pros

“We were able to manage electronic documents digitally which we had never done before, run reports, manage schedules all in one place, and claims and billing were all in one place.”

Erica M.

Client Care Coordinator

“For starters, as a new practice owner, it gave me the option to create a professional website and access to professional learning about the software and amazing tools that they are adding to help me streamline my practice even more.”

Teresa L.

Clinician

“I can properly schedule clients who are every other week and weekly and be able to add in one-time sessions in between and minimize the problem of double booking myself.”

Jennifer N.

Psychologist

Pros

“CentralReach keeps scheduling, session notes, data collection, billing, and client information all in one place, making it convenient and organized.”

Viergela C.

Easy access

“As an RBT having a server accurately save the data tracked is highly important however CentralReach would randomly (likely due to using the website only) log me out and erase the data I had collected up until that point because if I did not press the save button after every data point collected.”

Kimberly B.

RBT

“CentralReach is great to have everything in one place, such as data collection, onboarding paperwork, timesheets, billing, claims, invoicing, trainings, etc. Haven't been able to find another platform that has all of this.”

Maria C.

Owner

Cons

“It's a little hard to set up adult family therapy, and I wish the telehealth option allowed a single link that could be reused for each session.”

Alan J.

Chief Psychologist

“We had many issues with reports processing correctly, were losing information, and there were inefficiencies in the way that claims and payments processed and posted.”

Erica M.

Client Care Coordinator

“I don’t like how glitchy telehealth is, that there is not a lot of customization on the calendar screen and it can be readily confusing to someone who is trying to use the system besides just scheduling.”

Coty D.

Owner

Cons

“The system can sometimes be slow, glitchy, or log users out unexpectedly.”

Viergela C.

Easy access

“Reporting and tracking in the Learning platform is weak, Making it hard to follow progress on the learning side.”

Carole M.

Operation Manager

“After many years of making it work, with tons of service disruptions because the software was down for sometimes days at a time, and not trusting that the high additional monthly costs would make it that much better for us, we decided to switch to a different platform, only to be told that they had automatically renewed our annual policy a full month before it was due for renewal, insisting that our contract had been on auto-renewal for years even though they manually renewed with us every year prior.”

Shannon P.

Practice Manager
