Have asked before, but wanted to post again since its been a while to get a poll of what people are using and recommend that are cost-effective options.
-
I have been using Medisoft Advanced for years. It is an affordable practice management software. Each year it comes out with a new release to improve the program. Submitting EDI claims is not free. I specialize in mental health billing. It works very well.
-
We have been using Lytec for 25 years. I've used others as well. Lytec is not perfect, but for us it works great. Very affordable, user friendly.

I don't think there is that ONE magical best system. I am a billing company and I utilize the clients system as it keeps my costs down and allows the client full control and choice. There is also NO delay in setup, conversion which means no delay in payments which is another great plus. I've used about 12 different systems in past 25+ years..My 3 favorite are Kareo, AdvancedMD and and I also like CollaborateMD. Not a big fan of the standalone's anymore as they just seem basic. I like the cloud based as there is nothing really extra needed to access for a client and it even lowers my risk since PHI doesn't get stored on any of my computers. Just one less thing to worry about. The client loves having the control and transparency as well.

Thanks!
Any experienced with Healthfusion (now next gen )?
-
I have used Nextgen but unfortunately the client did not allow us to communicate directly with the company so when we had any issues we had to go thru the client's IT department. That hindered us greatly so I don't have a great experience with Nextgen. What are you wondering?
-
I also do Mental Health Billing and use Total MD - only $99 per month - very affordable and user friendly
-
There are so many PM systems. They all have pros and cons. It all depends on what you can afford and most importantly is it user friendly. I have a question regarding Total MD. What does the $99 fee include per month?
-
It includes everything. It is $99 per month per user login. Everything has to be entered manually but it works for me.
-
When you say it includes everything, do you mean submitting claims electronically, support and for all your clients? Or per client? I like to know so I can compare to what I am using and what they charge. The system I use you pay for up front and then I pay for upgrades each year which costs around $390. I pay to submit claims monthly and it varies each month depending on how many claims are submitted for all clients. They have a minimum fee of $150 per month for claims. Thanks for your response.
-
It;s $99 per month and my claims are uploaded and billed to Office Ally.
You can call them and get tech support anytime for free
-
It is $99 per month per user signon name

Kareo - This is our 4th software program in 14 years of Medical Billing Business. So far this has been the most accurate, efficient easiest & integrative of the ones we've used earlier. Truly a good value for the money, & we are really pleased with the overall performance. We find this software user friendly in terms of claims, fee schedule etc etc. We can write our own report & reporting is very accurate. we do have some minor issues, but that can be sorted out by the team or support.

Kareo is a great software, I can't dispute that. if you are a billing company however, why not let your client maintain control, costs of software?

I highly recommend AdvancedMD . I find it very user friendly.
