CGM Medisoft vs. Therabill by WebPT

For smaller practices that do not bill insurance, Medisoft may be a bit more than they really need. However, if they desire the ability to track patient appointments and financials all in one place, as well as run detailed reports on practice data, this still may be a good option.

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.

• Medisoft is relatively easy to use.
• There are a lot of customizable features.
• Training users on the product is not a long process because it is intuitive.

Incentivized

• Great integration with WebPT
• Love the auto posting of patient payments when we apply ERAs - and the ability to not apply if there is a secondary.
• The Patient statements are pretty easy to send out. Love that we have options to print or email them.
• The zendesk site answers a LOT of questions and is a fantastic resource.

• Medisoft is hard to teach to new employees.

• While knowledgeable, support agents don't seem to speak English as a primary language, so communication can be difficult at times
• I feel billing secondary insurance is really tedious, having to submit it patient by patient
• Handling claim denials, corrected claims, and resubmissions is incredibly tedious and difficult, in my experience, requiring a great deal of time and moving across the site to handle one claim at a time

We are actually looking at other options - unsure whether we will continue

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.

Chat is great but often not working or very slow responses. Can't easily talk to a person about issues and emails are very slow to get answered

I prefer Medisoft due to ease of use, functionality and custom report features. In my experience with other software programs I found them to be either less user friendly or lacking in key features that we require for our particular practice.

Our previous billing software was Tiger Misys and Payerpath by Allscripts. Both were very antiquated means of managing claims and payments. Therabill by WebPT at least is modern and functions far more simply and is more user-friendly. That said, we have since moved to Prompt EMR, which while the user interface is less intuitive, the functionality is far more streamlined and efficient for a clinic of our size.

• Medisoft is a good product, but I feel the cost of assurance is too high.
• With all the different components each being billed separately adds up quickly.
• Keeping patient charts/bills up to date is pretty easy.

Incentivized

• I don't like the pricing. We have many part time employees and I think we overpay.
• Claims flow pretty quickly through and help up get paid sooner.
