Likelihood to Recommend 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).

Read full review Well suited: outpatient private clinics where PTs; sports environments. Less well suited: seems like a large hospital setting might have a more difficult time with the operations. Practices with multiple disciplines in it--are PTs and SLPs and OTs all able to document as they need?
Read full review Pros Documentation Template Customization Read full review The scheduler is easy to use and allows for a clear view of each clinical day, week, and month. The authorization/visit limit functions really help in managing each case and assist in minimizing insurance denials. The documentation is comprehensive and specific to physical therapy documentation. The ICD-10 lookup function is very helpful. Transfer of claim information to Therabill really helps with timely claim submission. Read full review Cons [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 I wish the patient reminders didn't cost as much to send, and it would be great to be able to send text messages for any other reason. WebPT adds on extras that always seem to cost more - overall, it is kind of expensive. I always wish the documentation was quicker - but I'm not sure what else that would take.

Read full review The ease of use and the modern feeling of the software is what keeps us coming back. Being able to have a new employee trained on the software in less than a week is a money saver. The many other softwares that the team at WebPT offer that intergrate with WebPT is numerous and streamlined.
Read full review Usability If you don't want to do anything custom, the platform is pretty easy to navigate.
Read full review It is very easy train people on and make each not the way you would like it. My first time using it I only needed one time walking through it. The software is self explanatory and easy to find what you need in a note
Read full review Reliability and Availability 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 Entire suite down numerous times in 2022 and 2023. Individual modules down as well. Modules rated as operational but not functioning numerous times, most so with scheduling, online intake, and outcomes.
Read full review Performance For the most part, the program slowness has not affected me directly.
Read full review Pages often load slowly. Our iMacs are highly reliable and we are connected to the highest speed Comcast business internet. We also connected each iMac via Cat 9 cable during COVID-19 pandemic to speed telelhealth appointments. Zoom does integrate very well with WebPT for telehealth. Their own modules do not integrate well with each other. For example, patients receive separate emails for patient intake and clinical outcomes. If confuses and frustrates many patients. Similarly, EMR flow sheet does not integrate with HEP creating redundancy.
Read full review Support Rating 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 Support was pretty much always helpful. My only complaint was not being able to always get someone on the phone immediately during working hours and having to wait to hear back. But once we heard back, problems were solved quickly and sufficiently. Staff was always friendly and knowledgeable
Read full review Online Training 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 WebPT has its entire separate platform for training, containing many different guides, tutorials, and video references to help you become familiar and competent with the software suites. This includes having various demonstrations that allow you to click and navigate pages in the ways you would actually do it in WebPT. WebPT also gives you a sandbox company in the actual website to tinker with and trial things out. This makes it easy to catch and avoid errors you would have otherwise made with active patient data/schedules.
Read full review Implementation Rating If you have used other EHR and programs, over time you will be able to self train for DrChrono
Read full review I think it would help to have another education session maybe 6 months after the initial sessions. This would help the user come up with an enhanced experience after they have used the program for a period of time. It is hard to comprehend everything at first, especially for people that need hands on learning
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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 Also, I have used PTWired and HEP2GO, but they were not in the database. WebPT automatically generates a patient profile, which is very helpful. WebPT also doesn't require the patient to download an app from the App Store, which is an added step for patients to perform, which will decrease compliance.
Read full review Contract Terms and Pricing Model The current terms and pricing would be fair if they provided adequate performance, reliability, support, and customer service. As they have lapsed in these areas WebPT is overpriced. I would not recommend any PT practice of any size agree to a long term contract with WebPT until they prove they will deliver on their promises.

Read full review Return on Investment 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 The payment on claims when they go through correct is phenomenal and very timely. Our productivity is better as notes get done quicker and able to focus more on patient care. Sometimes the long flowsheet gets hard to see when treating a chronic patient. Read full review ScreenShots
