Likelihood to Recommend ChiroTouch has helped us maintain more accurate records, notes, billing, and the text reminders help to ensure the patients remember their appointment which keeps our numbers good.
Read full review Templates are customizable and you can take pictures directly into a patient's chart. DrChrono is less appropriate for this reason: they have been working on enrolling my company for Medicare electronic billing for [seven months]. [As a result], I have been unable to bill for any Medicare patients for [seven months]. The only person I have talked to was in India [and] ([the] email address ended in .india). I have had to call Medicare to try to figure out how to complete the enrollment process, [and I ended up with this response from Medicare: "DrChrono needs to [stop being lazy and do something]!." I lost [a] significant [amount of] money. [...]
Read full review Pros Allows for a lot of customization that can make the software work well for small and large practices Can really replace anything you would normally put in a paper chart or use other programs for, with a few exceptions. Manages all your patient data in one place Uses iPad apps as well as desktop applications Read full review Documentation Template Customization Read full review Cons There is quite a bit to learn, even if you have experience with other EHR systems like I did, and required our staff and providers time and patience to get accustomed to it. It may be helpful for the Chirotouch team to develop a curriculum of sorts to navigate practices through learning the system in a logical way. The EHR system is higher in price than other comparable systems, especially with all the add-ons - it would be nice if Chirotouch were a little more transparent about what you get when purchasing the item off the shelf, and, more importantly, what features are not included without a package upgrade. The graphic layout and color scheme isn't as "pretty" as other EHR systems I've worked with, and actually looks quite outdated. It might be worthwhile for Chirotouch to work with graphic designers to make the interface a little more aesthetically pleasing. Read full review [Onboarding] trainers and tech support do not know the program. [All] DrChrono calls are from blocked, [unknown], or their personal numbers. [Looking] at [each] caller ID, you have to answer every call because they do not register as DrChrono. DrChrono [uses] [Google] phone and [I could] not understand what [a] trainer [said] [when I called them]. [I could not hear what the trainer said] over the noise of other conversations on [Google] phone. [I] [had] absolutely no way of talking to tech support in person. [Tech] support tickets [are] unanswered. [They] do not know how to enroll providers to bill Medicare electronically. [There was] absolutely no accountability. [The] platform was constantly down [and was very frustrating]. [There was a] consistently, delayed submission. [Every] day, [I got] an email about a problem that they are working on. [Weekly] issues for platform [was] addressed for slowness. Tech support needs [to have professional people answering tech problems, needs to be reliable, and be responsive whenever someone has issues]. [The] tutorial videos [for DrChrono] are from several years [ago] and no longer apply to the [most] current platform layout. [The] help browser [is] nonfunctional. [Tech support is not well trained. You can not talk to anyone in person and they often do not answer tech tickets. Onboard trainers do not know their system. Customer often figures out the answers before the training rep. Between the accent and the noise of Google phone, my entire training session was asking her to repeat what she said. When they are rated lowest of the group for tech support, it is for a reason].

Read full review Usability It is fine once it is up and running, but the customization takes a long time, does not have some things setup in advance that seem very straight forward, and for most people the learning curve is very high for learning the system even once it is properly setup and customized. However, it is "fine" not particularly impressive. Additionally, their customer support and training is substandard.
Read full review If you don't want to do anything custom, the platform is pretty easy to navigate.
Read full review Reliability and Availability Sometimes we get weird error messages. We have been having a problem with our check-in computer and ChiroTouch hasn't been able to figure out the problem
Read full review I am glad I am not always affected by the platform problems. You get daily emails notifying you they are working on slowness, ERA submission problems etc
Read full review Performance Generally we never have problems with speed. If we have, it's been because we needed to perform software updates, and then it went back to working quickly.

Read full review Their tech support is not well trained. You can not talk to tech support directly. You have to submit work tickets, which have gone unanswered
Read full review Online Training The particular person we were assigned was not very well versed in the software. Several things we asked about we were told we not possible, and then I later figure out how to do them by myself after getting to know the software. I guess that is what comes from trainers who use the system in theory but not in an actual office. They are basically reading off a script that guides you how to set things up, nothing more. If she didn't know the answer, she didn't research it, she just told us it wasn't possible. However, it was a multi-session training spread out over a couple weeks and they did walk you through all the basics. It does take a lot of customization, so this was appreciated. It would have been very intimidating to do without guided support sessions.
Read full review When being trained on the billing program, rather than start at the beginning and "TRAIN HOW TO USE THE PROGRAM" the trainer kept asking me what questions I had. I kept saying I don't know what I don't know. Her response was, ok, were done then. You don't have anymore questions. The only thing I could think to do was ask her to explain each item in each drop down box, but she would just read out loud the drop down choices and ask what questions I had. This pretty much sums up their training.

Read full review Alternatives Considered We had been using medisoft before and it wasn't organized enough or clear enough for insurance billing, coding and doctors notes. Chirotouch solved all of these problems with the additional bonus of being customizable
Read full review TheraOffice has the best tech support and onboarding training. WebPT is also good, but their charting templates lack customization. RehabOptima and Casamba are straight forward and reliable. I am currently stuck with DrChrono.
Read full review Scalability It's reliable, though occasionally has connectivity issues. Their support says it's our computing issue, not the software, but we don't have similar problems with other software. Definitely needs to be backed up daily. We use ChiroTouch's backup and it works well

Read full review Return on Investment ChiroTouch helps cut out errors that cause delays in insurance payments which is always good for the bottom line. ChiroTouch's scheduling and text reminders help us keep the patient notified of upcoming appointments. We love the feature that allows us to set it and forget it ex: retention texts, b-day texts, mass notification texts. Read full review Negative: I have lost reimbursement due to the time for tech support to address ticket and the max claims submission time. Negative: I have [not had any medicare revenue for seven months] due to DrChrono not knowing how to enroll for Medicare Electronic Billing. This issue still has not been resolved. Negative: Lost time due to the platform being down or running slow. Negative: Slow claims processing. Negative: DrChrono needs [qualified] tech support, [quality] [for] onboard training, [timely] response to technical issues, [and timely] response to billing issues. Read full review ScreenShots
