Pros

“A helpful enhancement would be a pop-up notification upon login reminding clients that their provider has sent forms requiring completion, along with clear instructions on where to locate those forms within the portal.”
CV

Chloe V.

Administrative and Billing Assistant

“Group-practice administration, supervision oversight, advanced billing workflows, reporting, automation, and real-time operational visibility is non existent.”

Zina O.

Management

“I found the scheduling, documentation, billing, and client management features helpful in keeping workflows efficient and reducing administrative burdens.”
HS

Heather S.

General Manager

Pros

“There is a bit of a learning curve, but each subscriber receives a dedicated contact agent who is there by pone or email to answer any questions you have and resolve any problem.”

Randy S.

Professional Counselor

“Additionally, the range of tools and resources offered by CounSol has greatly enhanced our ability to manage client interactions and streamline our workflow. Whether it’s scheduling appointments, managing client records, or facilitating secure communications, everything has been seamless and efficient.”
NK

Natalie K.

Owner

“I love that everything I need to run my business is in one place (patient info, scheduling, billing, legal paperwork, messaging, session/financial trends, internal notes, etc.); also, when I do have a question, my rep responds to my emails exceptionally quickly and thoroughly answers my questions/provides detailed info to address my issue.”
KO

Kim O.

Clinical psychologist

Cons

“Managing a group practice with multiple clinicians, supervisors, billing staff, insurance workflows, credentialing considerations, documentation oversight, and a high volume of claims required more visibility and automation than the platform provided. As I mentioned earlier it is limited, outdated and lacks core features needed for a successful RCM.”

Zina O.

Management

“What I really DON'T like is the daily schedule page because I have to scroll down to see all my appointments, and if my browser window is not fully expanded, I can't access the "copy note from last session" function on my very last client of the day.”
LM

Lavinia M.

Licensed Professional Counselor, Owner

“I know of fellow clinicians who lost thousands of dollars to their claims submission feature, claims got lost, some of them weren't even submitted and no way to resolve denials. Where we began running into limitations was as our organization became larger and operationally more complex.”

Zina O.

Management

Cons

“You have to click into each note to see it, meaning it's hard to scroll adn see details.”
MT

Madeline T.

Licensed Professional Counselor

“I find it cumbersome to create the client forms, internal forms, printed assessments.”
SG

Stefanie G.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

“So far, 5 years using Counsol I literally can't thinkg of anything. If I can't figure something out, [sensitive content hidden], my customer rep to walk me through whatever it is.”
