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.”

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

Pros

“It has been a strong EMR solution for behavioral health and substance use disorder treatment Its integrated platform and specialized features are significant advantages that has helped me .”

“Although it was easy to navigate, there seemed to be a few times where there were too many options to click through.”

Accounts Payable and General Ledger Associate

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 As I mentioned earlier it is limited, outdated and lacks core features needed for a successful RCM.”

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.”
