    This company is extremely difficult to work with. They have expressed that CareTend users are not important to them since that is such a small part of the WellSky business. They are very focused on extra fees and extra charges for everything. We have not even had the program for a year and they have changed everything initially promised related to pricing. They continue to come up with new ways they can get more money out of you. I would recommend for anyone considering this program, to look at other options first

    • I am very unsatisfied with WellSky CareTend. The original CPR+ program was efficient and this copy they forced provider to switch to has many issues and does not include all of the capabilities in the prior program or as promised.

    Cons
    ResMed
    • Can sometimes be slow as its a cloud service.
    • They recently updated their website and continue to improve, this was not the case over a year ago. So keep growing and filling more of the billing and medical needs.

    • Poor customer service. Upper Management fired much of the staff soon after our transition.
    • Outrageous fees that keep changing and increasing multiple times since we transitioned 9/2019. Getting a contract up front proves pointless as they find crafty ways around agreements to charge exorbitant fees. We are always overbilled. Just transitioned and bought a new server and now they tell us they are eliminating that process and we will be forced to host with them at a price of $66k/year for 20 users. This is above and beyond the 5% increase they gave us across the board 3 months after transitioning and the quarterly support fees that are outrageous.
    • Any attempt to discuss or protest the charges is met with the explanation that WellSky is a very big company and CareTend is such a small component that they are not interested in our concerns.
    • They do not have any clinical staff consulting or employed and are definitely missing functionality for what is needed in different clinical components or operations of the program.
    • WellSky bought the CPR+ program that we were using and decided to eliminate all support of that program and forced customers to purchase the CareTend program. They promised we could do everything we could in CPR+ plus much more. That has not been the case. Our staff has spent unbelievable amounts of hours just to try to get some of the basic functions of CPR+. We have adapted many work arounds. CareTend sees fixes to their program issues as enhancements and insists on charging exorbitant fees to add these corrective updates.

    Support for this product has been good from Brightree for users and the technical side. They do clearly explain what they can and can not do and sometimes more options or customization would be nice but this would be in a perfect world idea.

    They fired most of the support staff. When your staff is new to the program, yet knows more than who you speak to when you call into support, you know that there is an issue. It can take a week or longer at times for a support person to get back to you about an issue. We have met with management on these issues and when they do acknowledge a functionality issue, they want to charge you a fee to provide the fix even though you already pay support fees

    I have not seen other products but get most of my feedback from the users that use it and the ones that have seen other products.

    We utilized CPR+ prior to WellSky and it was basically the same product. Much more cost effective and many fewer issues.
