DrChrono in Sunnyvale offers what they describe as a complete EHR, Practice Management, and Revenue Cycle Management Solution - Available on iPad, iPhone, and Web. DrChrono offers solutions for speciality practices as well.
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. [...]
The platform is reliable, easy to use, and has robust integrations which allows us to maneuver around some of the native limitations to the platform. For a simple use case of sending reminders, confirmations, and feedback requests, the system works great; however, if you want to build out more complex workflow using conditional logic, A/B testing, etc., the platform falls very flat. Luma Health did work with us years ago to build a custom platform that we use on our iPads in clinics to collect intake and consent forms, which works very well and has reduced our need to collect intake forms using paper; however, I think if we asked for this same project in the current year, we would get a flat no form their team, or it would come at an exorbitant cost. Their customer support has really dwindled in quality over the past few years.

Two-way chat: we can easily text or email our patients one module
API integration: we established multiple integrations which allow us to trigger communications from our CRM (HubSpot), and we also extract data from Luma Health which is essential for our reporting
Reliability: Luma Health has very reliable uptime and we rarely have to worry if it will go down

[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].
Email: Luma Health has a very poor module for creating email templates, which is a huge pain point for our marketing/patient experience team. You essentially have to copy and paste HTML into a Custom Action, which is very laborious and difficult to manage
There is no workflow builder where you can easily map out the patient communication flow with conditional logic. You have to go to different modules within Luma Health (reminders, custom actions, etc.) to get the outcome you want, which becomes very messy.
Their management has gotten much worse over the years (we have been on the platform for 6 years). Our CSM used to feel like a real partner -- we would have monthly calls where we would discuss our goals and work on custom development. Now, they seem to have downsized or shifted their model to pay-to-play. Basic requests feel like pulling teeth, and you have to pay extra to receive the aforementioned benefits that we used to love.

its admin tool is pretty use to use and has good performance dashboard. it will be more useful if it can be intergrate to our Cerner sytem, so clinic staff do have not access and login a sperate tool

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
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.
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.
We use HubSpot as our central CRM and at one point we thought that HubSpot would replace Luma Health; however, it has become apparent that because HubSpot is very newly HIPAA compliant, it is very difficult/impossible to replicate the same functionality as Luma Health, especially when it comes to texting patients in a compliant manner. Luma Health is also much easier to use for a less technically advanced person.

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.
