Hello Everyone,
Has anyone Used Kareo - ASP Based PM & Billing SW? Their monthly pricing is very reasonable. However I do have a concern about their customer service? How good is their customer support?
I their any PM & Billing SW ASP or Client Server based that is as affordable as Kareo in the market?
Please let me know if you know of any Client Server or ASP based PM& Billing software that are very afforadable.
Thanks
Tim
Yes, they are affordable but you can never get anyone on the phone. You have to leave a message and it takes days to have someone get back to you!
As far as I know they do not interface with any EMR's.
I looked at them, but only after I was 95% committed to another PM and burned out looking. In retrospect, I wish I would have tried them.
They look like a product worth pursuing. I was particularly concerned with management statistics and I believe they can and do port data to Excel. I believe they are very eclectic in this regard. (I was looking for data as custom reports on the screen (not excel) that would allow me to hyperlink back to appropriate portion of program, ie demographics or billing etc).
If you are concerned about support, ask them some support questions before you buy. Also, negotiate a time period where you can bail if they don't meet your expectations. Get something in writing with respect to call backs for support.

Over the past 6 months, we've doubled the size of our customer support team and have introduced new customer service levels & offerings. Every new customer receives 30 days of free implementation and training assistance from a dedicated customer support representative. After your first 30 days, Kareo offers several levels of customer support to meet your needs and budget, including self-service support and training resources on our website, email support, and phone support.

James,
Here are two quotes from a respected HIT vendor NOT directly involved with providing EMR software. Might help to understand the dynamics re: data conversion.
" ... can eliminate the cost, hassles and lengthy implementation times that typically accompany interfaces provided by legacy system vendors."
"This is not an easy task considering the many and varied EMR systems available. The difficulty is further compounded by the idiosyncrasies of each EMR vendor´s implementation of HL7. "
The word, "idiosyncracies" was a polite way of saying, a mess. Now with new government standards looming, the landscape is further complicated.I never see a provider question the software code -- is it truly OO (object oriented) and extensible. Are the data models properly normalized and somewhat standardized to HL7 2 on the way to 3 and ASTM now. Very simple stuff to evaluate -- CS101.
Interoperability -- how will these systems talk to CMS and each other down the road?
And finally, guarantees or not, can the code and data be re-factored to meet 2011 ARRA criteria and standards, and the landslide of changes likely to come thereafter -- without downtime for the users and BK'ing the vendor?
Providers often want screen shots or demos, but they NEVER ask for snippets of the code or database views. Be sure to look under the hood.

We are a large billing service (close to 200 providers), and we also run our own in-house psychotherapy program, with 14 clinicians in our group. We have been using Kareo for some time, and we are very pleased with it. We have found it to be highly intuitive, and the support has been excellent. We have found them quite flexible, and open to our suggestions. We espcially appreciate the fully integrated claims submission process, as well as the detailed level of access features.There is no charge for support cases related to electronic claims submission and setup issues, and while the support is mostly e-mail based, we have found that when there is an issue that is difficult to resolve by e-mail, we have received a phone call from them.They also provide the ability to download the data directly into an Excel spreadsheet, which allows almost unlimited reporting features, as well as an easy way to backup your data.I highly recommend this program both for billing services and medical practices doing their billing in-house.
