Kareo Medical Billing vs. TriZetto Core Administration (Facets, QNXT and QicLink)

In my experience, problems with them adding incorrect fees to pad their bills coupled with their unethical business practices such as locking you out from accessing your EMR at the drop of a hat prevent me from recommending Kareo to any practice. Reliability is paramount. Kareo's use of unethical business practices (locking you out from your EMR or disabling your EMR all together) can result in a physician being sanctioned by the medical board (inappropriate medical record keeping) or financially destroy a small practice leaving them with NO ACCESS to their ERAs/patient billing accounts etc leads me to NOT reccomend their products or doing business with them.

It's all about the knowledge base and talents of the end user. Trizetto performs well with most users, it performs extremely well in the hands of top talent.

• Kareo stays up to date on insurance changes which allow for smooth transitions.
• Kareo asks for feedback and has a place to go and request changes or additions that would make our job easier.
• I love that you can submit a help ticket or call, if you prefer, with any questions or problems that you may have. They are always very prompt with their follow up.

• Reduced claims errors and quick reprocessing
• Easily monitor a 6-7 figure AR
• View productivity across multiple departments

• I've spent hours on the phone discussing various issues with regards to data variance between two different source documents within the software. At one point, I could not reconcile the A/R balance on one of the dashboards to the A/R balance pulled from the Excel add-in. Unfortunately, their support teams were not able to help out with this.
• The Excel add-in falls short in a few key areas. Specifically, they do not provide a simple method of joining data fields from the "charges," "payments," and "transactions" tables. One is left to attempt to join the data sets via VLOOKUP or INDEX(MATCH).
• At times, we have had issues with the API providing information that would not tie out to figures reported elsewhere within the software. Unfortunately, their support teams were not able to help out with this.

Incentivized

• Customer service is exceptional, no issues here
• Web portal is easy to use, again very satisfied
• I would like to see more opportunites for training videos/ best use training

We are much happier with Kareo than Compulink. The software as a service makes it easy to manage claims from multiple locations when I cannot be on site. The reports and all other aspects I have mentioned as distinct to Kareo. We had a very hard time tracking things with Compulink.
