Therabill, by WebPT is a web based electronic billing and practice management system designed for independent healthcare providers, billing services, or healthcare facilities. Therabill is specifically designed for behavioral, developmental, occupational, physical, speech and other healthcare therapists.
For an organization providing ABA service, there really is nobody else that even provides a remotely comparable service. It does have limitations and areas of the system that take more training or are less intuitive than one might hope, but their customer support representatives are generally really helpful and they are pretty quick to make updates to better serve their clients. They are incredible at finding efficient ways to reduce workflow, and while the product can be quite pricey, we have found that it has saved us at least 2 FT admin positions through the efficiency it has created and further frees up our clinicians so that they can focus in more on client outcomes. It's instrumental in our ability to scale our operations across locations. Even with its limitations, it's proven to be in a class of its own in the ABA world.
For smaller clinics who see fewer numbers of patients or rarely deal with claim denials, Therabill by WebPT would be satisfactory and effective for use. However, because the workflows for handling claim denials and for entering batch payments can be so tedious, difficult, and time-consuming, I would not recommend the suite for businesses with greater quantities of daily claims or complex billing scenarios.
The UI is fairly user-friendly and finding what you need on the site isn't that difficult. Once set up, EDI and ERA receipt works smoothly and payment posting from ERAs is straightforward and simple for the most part. But handling claim denials, corrections, and resubmissions is incredibly difficult. It is not only difficult to find and sort them, but to send them out for reprocessing as well.
The user functionality is intuitive. The customer service is beyond other products which allows you to be more efficient and effective at using the system. Also, entering programming which is the primary use is very easy and also intuitive. Many parts of the system are connected which auto populate reports for our therapist. On the business side, the scheduling to billing is very effective.
CR allows us to streamline across locations, share admin staff across locations and automate multiple processes that previously took administrative and clinical time.
CR actively seeks to continue to expand and refine their practices and products, and acquire related specialty services - a critical quality in a field that is evolving as quickly as ours is.
Using templates through CR and their scheduling and timesheet features ensures that we have an audit-proof system and that all sessions that we provide are in compliance with regulatory agencies for reimbursement.
