The only benefit (which ended up being false for us) was the price point. By theory, it is capable of quite a lot, but sadly we never got that far to even be able to try it. We are just paying for a system we are 100% unable to utilize. We ended up staying with our current EHR …

AdvancedMD is a much more user-friendly interface and can be customized much easier without the need for in-house developers. I do think NextGen is more targeted to enterprise level clients as the standard reporting is more in tune with accrual accounting and allows for …
Chose AdvancedPM, by AdvancedMD
AdvancedMD is cloud-based. Kareo PM was cloud-based, but NextGen was not. The ability to reduce in-house infrastructure has been great. When we were using NextGen, it was much easier to reconcile our bank account to the payments posted in the PM software. AdvancedMD's access to …

We use both programs in our practice and AdvancedMD is used primarily for scheduling and patient info.

I love that ADP AdvancedMD is web-based and you can use it from anywhere you have internet access. Support is available 8am-8pm EST, so someone is always there to help if needed. I'm excited about the ICD-10 tools they are giving clients to assist with that process. They do …
Chose AdvancedPM, by AdvancedMD
ADP AMD is much easier to learn and navigate than most all of the systems I have worked with, including Greenway and Centricity. The only thing I liked better in Centricity was the ability to run more customized reports, but overall, I would choose AMD any day over those two.

Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
I used trusted reviews and conversations with others to determine my initial interest in Kareo. I was so happy with the initial trial period that I had no need to look further.
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
The company had Kareo when I started working there but before that, they used a system that didn't offer the same features as Kareo. After looking at the old software, I am glad they had switched when I came on board.
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
We used BrickMed for 6 years before switching to Kareo and WebPT. BrickMed was great as a billing tool but did not work well as an EHR for our Clinic.
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
We are much happier with Kareo than Compulink. The software as a service makes it easy to manage claims from multiple locations when I cannot be on site. The reports and all other aspects I have mentioned as distinct to Kareo. We had a very hard time tracking things with …
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
Kareo is the only billing software we have used. We are currently looking at WebPT's Therabill.
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
Nextgen PM < Kareo < AdvancedMD

Fortunately, Kareo was a significantly better solution than Nextgen. Part of this was due to Kareo being cloud-based. We have found that AdvancedMD is a far-superior product relative to both of the other solutions we are currently using. Kareo's …

Despite their limitations, at least, in my experience, SimplePractice reps don't lie to customers.
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
We have enjoyed Kareo Medical Billing so much that we haven't had a reason to investigate another product!
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
We have used several Practice Management programs which our doctors have chosen. Kareo is far above those in ease of use, efficiency and reporting. Training takes very little time as the program is intuitive. Licensing cost is reasonable. Our doctors enjoy the integration …
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
We wanted a change from the previous PM system we had before that was old and out of date. Kareo has support that can help out and if they don't know the answer to something they will always get back to you by email or phone call with whatever it is you need. That is one thing …
Chose Tebra Billing & Payments
Kareo is plain and simple. NextGen always says you get what you pay for, however, NextGen is expensive for anyone and Kareo does the same thing for a fraction of the cost. Kareo gives our time management back to the office personnel. Everything is user-friendly, which NextGen …

Kareo offers way more than the other platforms that we researched, and at a better price. Kareo has scored well the last 4 years in the Blackbook Survey. The integration between the EHR and PM is fantastic. This allows for the entire revenue cycle to streamlined and monitored …

AdvancedMD is appropriate for businesses that desire carte blanche access to the data contained in their entity's database. This is a great system for companies that are data/analytics driven. Unfortunately, the main drawback of the system (inability to accurately track deposit dates of payments) is a CRUCIAL FLAW. If a business is interested in a SIMPLE monthly reconciliation to their bank account, you will struggle with AdvancedMD.

In my experience, problems with them adding incorrect fees to pad their bills coupled with their unethical business practices such as locking you out from accessing your EMR at the drop of a hat prevent me from recommending Kareo to any practice. Reliability is paramount. Kareo's use of unethical business practices (locking you out from your EMR or disabling your EMR all together) can result in a physician being sanctioned by the medical board (inappropriate medical record keeping) or financially destroy a small practice leaving them with NO ACCESS to their ERAs/patient billing accounts etc leads me to NOT reccomend their products or doing business with them.

Pros
  • Detailed Aging reports very easy to follow and helpful in our business.
  • Navigation around appointment scheduler is excellent.
  • Creating custom templates with AMD convenient.
  • Best part--when system is slow, I can instantly send feedback on it, and see results soon!

  • Kareo stays up to date on insurance changes which allow for smooth transitions.
  • Kareo asks for feedback and has a place to go and request changes or additions that would make our job easier.
  • I love that you can submit a help ticket or call, if you prefer, with any questions or problems that you may have. They are always very prompt with their follow up.

Cons
  • Just recently we had an incident in which none of our employees could access the training.advancemd.com training materials. After extensive trouble shooting it was determined the issue was not with the local network, PC configuration, or firewalling. The AdvanceMD support personnel were not empowered to escalate this case as it should have been. Ultimately a correction in the server configuration for the training materials cleared up the issue, but not with assistance from Tier 1 support personnel.
  • Integration with the scanners can be problematic and has been a headache. Even with the Fujitsu scanners, the best in the business, we had challenges and found that some of the Tier 1 support staff were not trained or did not have access to the necessary documentation to fix the issue. The issues were eventually resolved but not without time lost in the process.

  • Kareo support is not the most timely. I have to wait far longer too many days than I should when the occasional problem arises.
  • Kareo does not have a connection with one certain clearing house (Jopari )that would make me able to submit some additional claims electronically.
  • Kareo used to have the ability to have an expected amount for each insurance in a table that let me know instantly if one particular payment paid less than expected. They took away that tool.

Overall, I think ADP AdvancedMD is very user friendly and constantly improves as new releases come out.

Kareo Medical Billing is very user friendly and the support they provide allows users to get their questions answered quickly and efficiently. The wait time to receive help is usually pretty good and most of the time we can ger our questions answered. We have found that is the tech help is unable to answer our question, they will attempt to find a colleague who is able to help!

I've only reached out a couple of times and after being bounced around a few times I simply asked for our internal team to look into the particular question I had. I believe they had some turnover at the time but my experience wasn't great.

Return on Investment
  • The automated connection to our EHR has greatly improved our analytic capabilities.
  • Intuitive and efficient interfaces allows us to get new staff up to speed quickly.
Read full review
  • Kareo had an overall low return on investment.
  • Despite the software being active at our company, we were forced to transition to a different solution within 6-months of implementation.
  • The time spent attempting to reconcile the system to itself was rather wasteful.
