All-in-one platform that's perfect for my small private practice!
Comentarios: My business is very part-time on the side, and I didn't have time or resources for some of the other options that are on the market. TheraNest gave me everything I needed to run my practice easily, efficiently, and professionally.
Puntos a favor:
It's simple to use and has everything you need to make your small private practice run. The customer support is AMAZING! I've never had a question or concern that wasn't quickly resolved by their great team.
Puntos en contra:
I would like to see the TeleHealth screen be bigger. This is a work in progress since this is a newly added feature.

Theranest lies about their customer service
Comentarios: From time to time, I was able to break through to their "upper management" and was told they really care about me and my clients and my ability to deliver therapy to those in need. This too turned out to be a falsity. The decision to cut me out was born of my holding them to their word about live customer service. I have requested to speak to the business owner, but so far, the coward has not had the necessary honor to call a fellow business person to discuss this travesty. I am considering legal action against this company to recoup the money it will cost me to take down my data from Theranest and use another competitive software. THEY ARE POISON. Stay away from them.
Puntos a favor:
It's a comprehensive program that handles most aspects of the claim processing we all need in a busy practice. They SAY they offer live customer service when a user runs into questions about how to use the program. That is why I chose them over Simple Practice, which offers NO live customer service. The reality is when you are in need of an answer on how to use an aspect of the program, you must leave a message on a voice mail. They will call you back when it's convenient for them to do so - and that's never when I need an answer. I do all of my claims submissions myself and I'm a fairly intelligent and computer literate user. This is a complex, intricate software with may nuances in use. My time is limited, and so it doesn't work for me to have to wait for an answer until it's convenient for them to call me back.
Puntos en contra:
Simply put, they lie about their live customer service. Their training videos are convoluted, not well-produced and hard to follow in terms of content. I spent countless hours and significant money to make the transfer over to Theranest, and when I held them to account for their promised and not delivered live customer service they CANCELLED MY ACCOUNT! This has caused me undue stress and dollars...and they have been very callous and offered no-compromise position. I complained too much, and therefore, they got rid of me! Nice!

For a lot of headaches use TheraNest
Comentarios: Do NOT use theranest unless you want major headaches, have extra time added to your plate just to use the software, have a year of and have a lot of money to waste. Their unnecessary upgrades they have decided to make makes working with theranest unbearable.
Puntos a favor:
Ease of charting and making appointments. That part is typically ok - unless the system is down - which happens way more than it should.
Puntos en contra:
Not sure where to begin! Theranest is an extremely complicated system and there is a big large learning curve for all users - even just clinicians that make appointments and chart. It is extremely cumbersome for billing and insurance work. Back buttons have to be used all the time - at least 3 times to update client insurance claims. Look at invoice, enter what the client owes, save. Back button - write off the money the insurance won't pay, save, back button, charge the client what they owe, back button, send the client a statement (their "automatic" receipts don't show what the date of service is). I really need someone else trained on the billing part of the system and I cannot even imagine the extra time I would have to take to train someone and the mistakes that would be made. There is way too much room for user mistakes when using the theranest billing system. I pay a lot extra for their billing portion to use their clearing house, yet I am consistently having to go to each payor's websites and figure out what is going on with various claims when the Era's come back to theranest - I should say "if" they come back to theranest. Today their ERA processing suddenly stopped working and now I get to spend hours and hours updating clients billing charts manually for the week! We have 6-7 clinicians and it already takes me 2 full working dates to reconcile accounts with theranest. when things are working "properly". They claim to be very proud of their billing system - as they have "added" features to make the billing process quicker- (which I found their "upgrade3" doesn't even pull the correct amount a client owes and it needs to be manually fixed anyway and I have to manually write off money insurance won't pay). Oh by the way - they upped their monthly fee because they added this "upgrade" that doesn't work. Their updates at times causes problems elsewhere in the system - which means something else like updating a chart for example or simply saving notes you have written stops working. God forbid you don't remember to save everything every 2 seconds or all will be lost. When adding a diagnosis to a clients charge - you have to save it 2x in two different areas or it doesn't save! Customer service is "available" but expect to wait for days before they reply back to you - usually asking questions you have already told them in your request for help email. When you send a message back reiterating what you already said - there is never a quick reply. So any problems with the software could literally take a week to fix. I actually got someone today on chat - which is the very first time in the 6 years this has ever happened - and then had to spend literally one hour chatting about our ERA issue today because he failed to explain anything in any clear way - only directed me to some form and because between each line of chat - it took 2 minutes for the message to even get to each other. (oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the system is super slow at times-not my computer - it happens to all of us). They are constantly changing things with the software that are an unnecessary waste and cause a lot of confusion and time for the user because all the sudden something is different. For example, for some reason only they know, they stopped allowing the same email to be used in different client accounts (we work with children). We see many sibling groups and use their parents email on their chart to send statements or reminders, etc. Now we can't use the same email. So again - extra time and money had to be spent for my office manager to call these families and ask for different emails. Parents like information to go to one email. Many parents weren't happy about this. Who checks 3 different emails everyday? Customer service's response was "We recommend you have the parents create emails for their children to access the data, and also should help them distinguish and filter data between their kids if they have multiple". Um, ok. Basically - they will not go back to allowing us to use one parent email for his or her kids. After years and years of headaches and so much extra work theranest adds, just to use the expensive software, that was the straw that broke the camels back. We are searching for a new system - stat. Have not done it before now because the thought of switching all clients over and the learning curve of a new system was too much. BUT - now we are done.

from Great to Bad Greedy
Comentarios: Overall, I really liked theranest. I probably would have continued to use it because it was easy. I recommended it to my colleagues and some of them had signed up to it too! But it became too money hungry, too fast. Thanks for a bunch of other providers who made a Facebook group for this purpose only, some took the lead to try to talk with management...and that's that. So many providers switched to another EHR, and finally I did too. Normally, I don't write reviews but It was ethically and morally unacceptable, this left many providers to either pay the fees, use another software and pay that too or cut back on telehealth at a time when everyone was hurting financially. I think theranest would be good if you only plan to have a couple of clients and only use basic notes/assessments. Otherwise, you will find yourself paying fee increases often.
Puntos a favor:
I've used this EHR since for about 5 years when I started my practice. I liked that it was simple: 1) The scheduler was easy to use, the notes were straightforward, the submitting of claims was a breeze. 2)I also liked that they have an app to download on your phone and clients would tell me it was easy for them to log on using their phones. 3)I also liked the simplicity of the calendar and the ability to print reports, client lists, etc. 4) Not sure if they were starting off as a new business at that time, but customer service was so responsive and seemed to care. 5)As I transitioned out of this platform, I really liked that they actually updated the ability to download complete files into one PDF!
Puntos en contra:
Over the years it went from amazing to poor for a couple of reasons: 1) the customer service is really slow, it can take up to 2 days to resolve a simple issue or concern 2)You are able to create your own notes template, assessment templates, BUT if you do, these will not integrate with the rest, what do I mean? If you create your own custom, this does not work and you have to do all the steps each time. Oh, and when you download files, any custom templates, don't download with the rest of the file. You have to do it individually, for each client... 3)Telehealth is so bad. Either I would disconnect or my clients would disconnect for unknown reasons, so I just switched to Doxy for FREE. 4)They keep raising their fees! I understand that all business raise fees, but it seemed to be every so often. New feature, new fee. New feature, new issue to troubleshoot. 5) Last year, they sent emails asking providers to sign a BAA...I signed one in 2016, when I signed up, were they misplaced? I don't know, I had no answer to this, I didn't sign it, I had an old one in my files. 6) during the start of the pandemic, they raised their fees! For example from $10/month unlimited, to Standard Users: $12 / month for up to 30 one-hour sessions", each additional hour $1. (I have the emails too!) It seemed very unethical and poorly timed. I finally decided to download every single PDF client chart and switched.

Great practice management software with excellent support team
Comentarios:
TheraNest's telehealth video chat platform really saved my practice when we had to move our sessions online during the CoVID 19 pandemic. My counselors didn't miss a beat switching to telehealth because TheraNest was already ready for us to make the switch. TheraNest already had the system ready for us.
And it was super easy to use! All our clients had to do was click a link and follow two prompts. That's it! Most everyone got it right away.
To say that I'm happy with TheraNest is an understatement. It's a great product at a very fair price.
Puntos a favor:
TheraNest is really easy to use and takes care of everything my practice requires. TheraNest is truly a one-stop shop. I really like how TheraNest handles the credit card processing, scheduling, and reminders. And it's reasonably priced. TheraNest also has an excellent support staff. I can't underscore that enough. TheraNest has an excellent support staff. There are detailed, step-by-step instructions for everything in, on, and about TheraNest, but if I need to speak with an actual human all I have to do is start a live chat by hitting the icon at the bottom of the screen. TheraNest also listens to its customers. It's constantly improving the website to make it more user friendly. It's been impressive to see how TheraNest has grown and improved every month since my practice signed up with it over 6 years ago.
Puntos en contra:
I don't really have any complaints about TheraNest.
