DrChrono vs. MatrixCare vs. TournaKit Pro

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. [...]

MatrixCare is well suited for the size of this company and its budget. The support is awesome, very professional, polite and knows what they're doing. It is also well suited for my company based on the type of healthcare, LTC, and rehab. Although I don't use the MDS features, I hear my colleagues say how much they like using them. The providers like that they are able to create their progress notes right into Matrix and I like that too because there are no paper notes needing to scan. The providers also find the dashboard very helpful for knowing what orders need to be signed and which patients are due for visits. I am unaware of any scenarios where MatrixCare is not well suited for my company, as far as my role.

• [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].

• the MDS section doesn't always register that a section has been signed and completed, showing up on the dashboard as still needing to be done.
• The MDS section will state you're still "in" someone's MDS when you're complete. There have been multiple times where I've had to fully log out of Matrix to be "logged out" of someone's MDS even though I had signed.

DrChrono has resulted in revenue loss

If you don't want to do anything custom, the platform is pretty easy to navigate.

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

For the most part, the program slowness has not affected me directly.

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

I have not had any problems with MatrixCare; however, I do not use the whole system and have not had to call MatrixCare or have support from them so I'm not the best to comment on that.

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.

If you have used other EHR and programs, over time you will be able to self train for DrChrono

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.

MatrixCare is more updated, when we used our old program is was stuck in the past and was built when we were a much smaller company. MatrixCare is a one-stop-shop so that is why we picked it. There was another company we looked at but we didn't go with it because of the layout of the program.

The platform is often being worked on for slowness.

• 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.

• Having gone from paper charting it has reduced paper waste and streamlined delivery of nursing services/documentation.
• It has allowed us to track and share documents across many users at one time.
• The unreliability has been challenging for our team with several outages resulting in delay of care.
